Mighty Fire Breaker (MFB) is now shipping samples of its MFB-31-CitroTech® fire retardant, along with marketing and technical information to retailers all around the U.S.

MFB has great confidence that this roll-out will succeed due to the reaction it has received thus far from the first set of home improvement and garden stores where the product has already been made available, and how well the company's displays appear with its 5 gallons pails of MFB-31-CitroTech®.

ASTM Class A fire protection

MFB worked hard with many laboratories during 2022 to receive ten accreditations, including several that make its Proactive Fire Inhibiting Chemistry unique: It is the only substance to have received the EPA Safer Choice designation, the UL GreenGuard Gold and LENS listing, and Aquatic Bioassay test results that proved its labels clearly represent the safest choice on the shelf.

MFB is also showcasing its MFB-34-CitroTech®, a substance that provides ASTM Class A fire protection for lumber products. This product means that retailers who sell lumber can finally offer builders and contractors a safer and more cost-effective fire retardant for wood products, with easy and cost-effective application instructions. 

EPA Safer Choice Program

All the MFB's substances have Zero Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), making them safe for both indoor and outdoor use. Former California Fire Chief Jeff Bowman had this to say about MFB's fire inhibitor/retardant: "I began as a skeptic. After vetting and putting this product to the test, I believe that this product will one day soon become the new Gold Standard in Wildfire Defense. One of the things I truly respect is all the accreditation that proves it's safe and environmentally friendly. Too many fire chemicals make safety claims without the kind of accreditation that this product has."

As a company, MFB is very excited to be part of the EPA Safer Choice Program. It is about time that all fire retardants that make safe and environmentally friendly claims be held accountable for their claims with EPA accreditation. Just submitted the products and branding to the 2023 Safer Choice Partners Contest.
