SAFEGUARD XFR™
Why must OSB be protected?
First ignition starts in… 11 seconds. Burns to ash in… 4 minutes, 44 seconds. Average firefighter response time… 5 minutes.
When life-saving seconds count the most… SAFEGUARD XFR fire retardant coating for OSB is the “lifeline of time” for those in harm’s way.
Safeguard XFR™ addresses the critical need to provide a fire retardant application for the most popular engineered wood product, OSB. Engineered wood is without question the world’s most important building product. It is sustainable, eco-friendly and energy efficient while maximizing our most important renewable resource. Our goal is to retard OSB’s rapid burn with a cost-effective, safe, and easy to apply coating which is job ready when delivered. SAFEGUARD XFR is this product. It will expand the use of engineered wood. It will make wood structures safer. It will save lives. It will change the industry. Before fire threatens and time becomes a lifeline, think ... Safeguard XFR™.
In 2014 we began developing a solution to address I-Joist fire retardance. We were certain that our coating technology when applied to the OSB would retard burn-through and collapse of the I-Joist. Our invention, SAFEGUARD XFR [Xtreme Fire Retardant] will provide this protection.
