General information
- Short Summary
- A United Kingdom company, the developer and manufacturer of a wildfire extinguishing fluid is now seeking southern European distributors and manufacturers for its international operations.
- Full Description
-
A UK listed PLC fire safety business, known for its highly effective fluid product selling well in online stores, is looking for international distributors and partners. (Apart from distribution, partners for national approvals and in-country manufacturing are sought). One of its products is a wildfire extinguishing fluid or fire retardant that can extinguish fires by initially having a very quick knockdown and then super cooling impact on the fire making it almost impossible to reignite. The fluid can be used on the wildfire itself or layered ahead of the fire to prevent the fire spreading. The product has Class A fires approval and it is already on the market. More details can be found in the attached video and more videos are available on request.
The current state of the art focuses on making the water more dense/heavier and most of the competitors’ products only have a maximum of 4 hours duration to help prevent and/or redirect the fire (which can be significantly less during the summer months as the water evaporates faster in extreme heat conditions). In contrast the company’s fluid can last for several weeks once applied until a heavy rain washes it out. In addition, the SME’s product also adds weight in the water and that way improves the accuracy of the drop from airplanes and helicopters. Another benefit can be the reduction of the amount of water used to tackle the fires as water is not an infinite resource and certain areas already facing issues with water scarcity.
The SME is looking for a series of partners across southern Europe to provide in-country expertise in this fire safety area and act as the distributor of the fluid to local and national governments. Given the importance and potential volumes of fluid needed during the wildfire season, the company would ideally be looking for an established fire safety organisation with links and contacts in to the local and national government and firefighting organisations. The company would also consider producing the required volumes in country to shorten lead times and reduce logistics costs. Thus the cooperation type could be a distribution or manufacturing agreement. - Advantages and Innovations
-
The product:
• Can be used to tackle, prevent and/or redirect the fire;
• Can be applied either on its own or alongside water (for example, it can be added in the water tanks of airplanes, helicopters or fire brigade vehicles);
• Is not hazardous or toxic and it is safe for humans, animals and the environment;
• Has been tested in the UK, and data has shown that it doesn’t affect negatively the fertility of the soil, but on the contrary it acts as a fertiliser and encourages plant growth. - Stage of Development
