Our systems offer the world’s leading flame suppressant and retardant chemicals. We offer professional solutions to cities and property owners that are second to none.

Phos-Chek long-term fire retardants, Class A foams, and water enhancing gel are the world’s leading chemical solutions for managing wildland, industrial and municipal fires. For over 50 years Phos-Chek has worked directly with fire management agencies in N­orth America and across the world to provide safe and effective fire fighting chemicals to meet the needs and desires of fire management personnel.

Phos-Chek long-term retardants are ideal for wildland fire control in forest, brush or grass areas. Phos-Chek retardants react with wildland fuels altering their route of decomposition in a fire so that they do not support flaming or glowing combustion. The rate of flame spread is reduced. At low use levels, intensity can be dramatically decreased while a slow burning is allowed.

Our wildland fire retardants consist of fertilizer type salts, corrosion inhibitors, and flow conditioners. The salts, when heated by the approaching fire, react with the woody material, grass and other organic matter rendering it unburnable, thus retarding the fire spread.
