F.W. Webb Offers FireIce® Shield™ for Fire and Heat Protection to Customers in Construction, Remodeling, Repair and Maintenance Professions
FireIce® Shield™ is a proprietary eco-friendly, non-toxic, non-corrosive gel which prevents both Ignition and Heat Transfer, and Cools Heated Materials Instantly
May 2, 2016 – Bedford, MA – The F.W. Webb Company is pleased to begin offering an innovative new fire protectant for contractors, plumbers, welders, HVAC installers, handymen and similar trade professionals. A must for every toolbox, FireIce® Shield™ is a non-toxic, eco-friendly, non-corrosive versatile spray that blocks heat transfer from welding flames, sparks and other construction ignition sources that could otherwise lead to an accidental fire.
FireIce® Shield™ is highly effective, yet sprays on and cleans up easily, leaving no residue. The colorless and odorless gel blocks heat transfer, prevents ignition and cools treated materials on contact for immediate handling. It protects virtually any material, including wood, sheetrock, cloth, wires, insulation, plastic, vinyl and metal. It is also effective on painted and finished surfaces.
“Many structure fires may be prevented if contractors take proper precautions,” said Michael Matros, an active, local firefighter and Fire Protection and Prevention Specialist for FireIce Solutions. Noting that the Back Bay fire that claimed the lives of two Boston firefighters was started by a welding accident, Mr. Matros added, “As a firefighter, I believe this product has tremendous potential to save lives and property.”
Professionals who see the product demonstrated are impressed. A contractor at a live demo said, “It’s miraculous.”
