WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF FIRE-SHIELD CHEMICALS AND PROTECTANT PRODUCTS?
Three components are necessary for fire: fuel, oxygen, and a source of
ignition. Although only one component need be eliminated to extinguish a fire,
FIRE-SHIELD PROTECTANT chemicals produce outstanding fire inhibiting results by
eliminating two of these components. The purpose of these chemicals and products
are to render materials virtually nonflammable. One of the keys is to make
a chemical change in the material. When this chemical change occurs it
renders the material non-combustible. As shown on Television
Documentaries, News casts and the television show "That's Incredible with
John Davidson."
UNIVERSAL FIRE-SHIELD PROTECTANT products
automatically react with fire or heat to convert combustible gases and tars to
noncombustible carbon char, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. This chemical reaction
substantially increases carbon char and creates a vapor action, causing the
surface to bubble-up and thereby keeps the heat from regenerating. The nitrogen
produced as a by-product of the bubbling-up action displaces the oxygen, thus
smothering the fire. The intumesant action separates the fuel from the source of
ignition. The properties of the chemicals give "double protection."
UNIVERSAL FIRE-SHIELD treated materials produce
less smoke. SMOKE CAN AND IS OFTEN THE KILLER. In many cases, smoke generation
has been reduced by as much as 80%, which is very important since smoke
inhalation causes more deaths than fire. Universal Fire-Shield
fire and flame retardants have been in use since 1990. When it comes to
saving property and lives you need the very best protection you can
buy. Universal Fire-Shield™ chemistry was designed to interfere with
the fire and ignition process to prevent the massive fire burn-outs you see
today. The Universal Fire-Shield™ compounds when applied to lumber,
plywood's, timbers and the like the chemicals will automatically
react in the presence of heat or flame. The chemistry converts combustible
gases and tars to a non-combustible carbon char, nitrogen and carbon
dioxide. The increase in carbon char helps to keep the flame or fire from
regenerating. The nitrogen produced as a by-product displaces oxygen
smothering the flame. Universal Fire-Shield™ chemical reaction separates
the fuel component from the source of ignition. Universal Fire-Shield™
exclusive formulas such as Fire-Kote 100 or Wood-Shield W-1000, Fabric-Shield,
Paper-Shield and TG-300 an outdoor application dramatically out performs all
other flame retardants on the market.
When wood surfaces
are treated with Universal Fire-Shield™ products, the chemicals will penetrate
inside the wood. The chemical balance is then changed inside and the
surface will react to heat and flame. This change that occurs is
permanently in place when enclosed or will last 5 years if exposed to
weather without paint or other type of skin. Paper products also can be
protected as well as Fabrics and TG 300 for dry brush and grass on highways and
hills.
Another important
factor is the wood or other materials treated at this point will not
ignite or contribute to the fire process. This is known as the
"retarding the propagation of the fire", which are rated and are given a "flame
spread number" by accredited testing agencies.
The other
outstanding factor is the significant reduction in smoke. These chemicals
have been known to cut smoke from 40% - 80%. Smoke inhalation causes more
deaths than fire and becomes an important factor.

WHAT ARE THE FACTS?
WHAT QUESTIONS ARE TYPICALLY RAISED?
WILL MY INSURANCE COMPANY GIVE ME A
DISCOUNT?
ANSWER: Yes and no. Reason Insurance
companies have many losses to deal with. A dwelling or building fire has
many aspects as to what caused the fire as well as the duration of the
fire. Some insurance companies are beginning to be very considerate when a
dwelling or a building have fire and flame protection for the
infrastructure. When the wood infrastructure is treated with the proper
amount of Universal Fire-Shield™ flame retardant and can be verified many
insurance companies are now looking to give small discounts. However many
at this time will not. But think of this your best personal insurance is
prevention! It is up to you to protect your dwelling or property not the
insurance company or the fire department.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I FLAME TREAT MY HOME OR BUILDING AND IT
BURNS DOWN?
ANSWER: The
probability of that is remote. However you must understand that all
materials on this earth are subject to breakdown under extreme heat and
fire. Some materials will break down earlier than others, volcanoes are a
good example of how even rocks can burn or melt under enough heat.
You know what happens when a dwelling is not treated! Most fires begin in
the kitchen or are an electrical fire that starts in the wall. A fire
treated structure in this case would suffer a hole at the source but the entire
house would not become an inferno. When exposed to a fire storm the
infrastructure will resist and save a dwelling in most cases, however
endurance of heat and flame beyond its ability cannot be
determined.
WHEN THERE IS A FIRE WHAT THEN?
ANSWER: First, the Fire Officials and
Investigators come in to determine the cause of the fire. Second, they
determine the extent and the dollar amount that was destroyed. Third, the
reports are filed, Insurance agencies and the property owners begin negotiations
and many times the lawyers. Your advantage is obvious; possibly most of your
property and precious possessions and family heir looms not to mention your pets
and family members could be spared. They will have a greater chance
of surviving!
THE BOTTOM LINE: FACTS
Fire safety is everones concern, but only you can decide
to protect yourself from fire and burn-outs for your property and other materials.
There is no second chance with a fire out of control. Yes,
flame retardants do work and they can protect the materials treated. You
can expect the very best with Universal Fire-Shield™ Chemicals and Products.
Call your Architect or builder today and let them
know you want the maximum fire retardant protection applied to your structure.
Technical help is available at all times world wide.
WHAT TYPE OF MATERIALS CAN BE
PROTECTED?
* BUILDING MATERIALS, raw lumber & plywoods, timbers,
logs, decks, roofing * WOOD Interior & Exterior * MATTRESSES,
Covers and Ticking * PAPER, Products , Box
board * SLEEPING BAGS *
CLOTHING * CARPETS, DRAPERIES * SHEET ROCK, Paper

UNIVERSAL FIRE-SHIELD FLAME RETARDANT CHEMICALS are best world wide and economical. Superior fire inhibitants which meet or exceed all existing and current federal, state and local fire safety code requirements as well as industry standards. UNIVERSAL FIRE-SHIELD flame retardant applications are superior to alternative flame retardant products currently on the market with exclusive trade secret formulations.
ABSOLUTELY! UNIVERSAL FIRE-SHIELD PRODUCTS are a protectant and are pre-mixed and ready to apply. It requires little material preparation. The products are in a liquid water base, environmentally safe and will dry down colorless, odorless and is non-toxic, asbestos free, and petrolium free. Although FIRE-KOTE 100 an industrial grade coating and penetrant is slightly toxic during the application phase only. It also can be used in habitable areas where there is only a sleight restriction on use around people, plants, or animals when being applied.
