KEY BENEFITS
The aqueous compositions used in the method are inexpensive or used in low volumes, which is important because treating large outside areas requires very large amounts of the composition. The magnesium sulfate used is safe and forms the basis of the composition, which was found to be efficient. The composition is also nontoxic and environmentally friendly. It does not contain for example boron, which is not desired in compositions which are used for treating ground or vegetation, and/or silicates. No protective equipment is required in the treatment. As the composition is fully aqueous, the equipment is easy to clean after use. The composition does not lose its properties even if it freezes, which helps in storing and transporting the composition. Also, excess release of undesired gases, such as carbon dioxide or toxic gases, is avoided by using the aqueous composition. Further, a composition comprising magnesium sulfate acts as a fertilizer in the ground.

Market Opportunity: €20 B + wildfire mitigation market and growing
- USA: $5B+ federal and state budgets for wildfire management
- Southern Europe, Australia: high-frequency fire zones
- Agriculture, military, and infrastructure seek eco-compliant protection
- Long-Term Retardants (LTRs) are still an open field with no leader
- XPYRO’s eco-credentials and patent coverage provide a strong competitive advantage
