ECO-GUARD™ is a Fire Retardant, Odor
Eliminator, Insects Controller, Acid and Pathogens Neutralizer. It is specially
formulated to combine all those unique natural capabilities at the same time that
it effectively and safely retard all Class A materials’ fires. Developed from
the extraordinary life saving ENVIROCURE2000™
which is a formula extracted from edible plants, ECO-GUARD™ is a unique and revolutionary product, which retards
fires by stopping dangerous flames from spreading and completely neutralizes
odors. Simultaneously, it eliminates and prevents re-infestation by most
pathogens: Bacteria, Mold, Fungus, Viruses, Mildew, Spores, Algae, Mites as
well as most insects including: Weevils, Beetles, Ants, Flies, Mosquitoes, Ticks
and Lice. ECO-GUARD™ works to
actually form its own insulation barrier to prevent dangerous flames and
infestation from spreading. ECO-GUARD™
also inhibits the development of hydrocarbon smoke and neutralizes acids. ECO-GUARD™ is non-flammable, non-toxic,
non-corrosive, safe to store, handle and use, leaves no residue; and not only
environmentally safe but is also ecologically remediative.
ECO-GUARD™ Capabilities
Retarding Power: After treatment of retardant on all Class A type surfaces there is zero flame spread and no pathogen or insect survival or growth.
Applications: Spray on Class A surfaces of all types (wood, paper, cotton, furnishing, all non-polymer surfaces). By its ability to neutralize acid in moisture, it prolongs the life of treated surfaces and objects.
Cleanup: None needed. Leaves no residue.
Characteristics
pH: pH of concentrate is 7.0
Flash Point: Negligible.
Boiling Point: 212°F.
Odor: Mild smell. Does not contain d-limonenes. Light straw color.
Water Solubility: Complete.
Shelf Life: Indefinite when stored in closed containers between 32°F and 120°F.
Dilution Strength: Do not dilute. Use in concentrated form.
Residue: Product leaves little to no residue.
Environmental and Safety Considerations
Biodegradability: 100% in 21 days under ideal conditions.
Hazardous No components are listed in the NIOSH Recommendations for Occupational
Components: Health Standards, 1988, or are defined as hazardous by SARA, CERLA, or RCRA. No OSHA PEL’s are established for other ingredients.
Handling: Eco-Guard™ is neutral. It will remove oil from the skin and irritate the eyes if sprayed directly into them. When handling bulk concentrate, eye protection, gloves, and impervious clothing should be worn when there is danger of splashing, prolonged exposure to vapor, or prolonged skin contact, as with all chemicals. Do not ingest, splash into eyes, or inhale for prolonged periods.
Disposal: Eco-Guard™ itself may be disposed through municipal systems.
