Announcing the Blaze Fighter®
Cost Effective Protection Against Brush Fires
Press
Release
Toronto,
January 10, 2009
Crosslink
Technology Inc. announced the release of its new intumescing spray coat compound
developed for the protection of wood utility poles and other wood structures
against damage by slow moving grass and brush fires.
The product
is marketed under the
Blaze Fighter® registered trade mark and is now available for
delivery in February 2009.
Blaze
Fighter®
is an easy to apply, fast-acting compound requiring minimal surface preparation.
The product is supplied in
self-contained twin disposable cartridges and dispensed through a compressed air
driven dispense gun.
Partially used cartridges can be
sealed for later use.
Complete starter kits including
the dispense gun as well as replacement cartridges are now available for
purchase.
Based on internal testing, this
intumescing protective coating was successful in preventing damage to wood
utility poles for up to 20 minutes of intense, uninterrupted grass fires. A
hydro pole protected by the Blaze Fighter® remains gaffable
(climbable) by linesmen having to carry out subsequent service.
This product is
of particular interest to electric utility, telephone and railway companies as
well as individuals who wish to protect wood structures located in areas where
there is a possibility for damage by grass or brush fires.
