Fire Retardant is not a foam or gel...It's Better.
Foams
and gels are fire retardants that rely solely on their
contained water as the active ingredient to suppress fire.
Once the water evaporates from these products, either
by the heat of the sun, or heat from a wildfire, they
can no longer stop a fire's progress.
Phos-Chek™
long-term fire retardant, on the other hand, does not
rely on contained water to stop fires. Once applied
it can remain effective for weeks or even months until
it is washed off by a stream of water or a moderate
rainstorm.
The
plan is to set up a defensible perimeter around
your home. Phos-Chek is not effective on painted wooden
surfaces.

Phos-Chek is the only colorless fire retardant of this
type available to consumers.
The Problem With Foams and Gels
Because
firefighting foams and gels are only good for up to 8
hours under perfect conditions, a homeowner trying to
protect his property will wait until the last possible
moment to apply the product before evacuating. This delay
can endanger the life of the homeowner as well as the
firefighters who may now have to save not only the property
but the homeowner too. Many local fire departments are
not in favor of this strategy and discourage the use of
foam and gel fire retardant for that reason.
