KOMODO is a safe, non-toxic, non-hazardous, non-corrosive,water-soluble, biodegradable,environmentally friendly compound that serves as a highly effective fire protection agent to prevent destructive fires from even starting; a strong fire-retardant agent to control and stop fires from spreading; and an extremely efficient fire suppressant to completely extinguish fires and prevent them from reigniting or rekindling once the fire is out.

KOMODO is a green, eco-friendly, and wholly safe “benign by design” chemical compound comprised of food-safe ingredients that work together in a proprietary formula to produce a powerful fire protectant, retardant, and suppressant completely free of PBDE’s (Polybrominated Diphenyl Esters) and all other restricted or harmful chemicals.

As a fire prevention and protection agent, KOMODO prevents fires from ever being born or structures from ever igniting with the simple application of our proprietary compound on any cellulosic material and/or vegetation. The proprietary specialty additives in KOMODO provide a uniform conformal coating which releases a combination of aggressive fire suppressants when exposed to heat and creates a powerful shield or barrier which prevents the cellulosic material from igniting or burning.

As a fire retardant and suppressant, KOMODO increases the fire extinguishing capacity and effectiveness of water by several orders of magnitude. When dispersed as a water-soluble retardant / suppressant, KOMODO instantly extinguishes the fire completely by starving the fire’s fuel of oxygen and ensuring it will not rekindle or reignite. Furthermore, KOMODO remains effective as a preventive formula when the retardant / suppressant solution has dried completely and water is no longer present.

Yes, when used as directed, KOMODO is wholly safe for application on trees, shrubs, plants, grasses, and related vegetation. Also, because of its non-toxic, non- hazardous, eco-friendly composition, KOMODO is safe for wildlife, pets, and children as well. KOMODO meets and exceeds all federal and state of California requirements for product performance, comprehensive toxicity, and all related environmental safety concerns.

KOMODO is an easy-to-use and easy-to-apply green technology for fire prevention and protection that can be easily applied to nearly any material including woods and all related wood products; metals; glass; and most all cellulosic materials and organic substrates (trees; shrubs; plants; grasses; and related vegetation) to create a powerful “shield” against all destructive fires.

KOMODO is effective immediately upon application and is formulated to resist weathering, winds, and rain to maintain optimum exterior fire protection on all treated vegetation and infrastructure throughout the peak fire season. KOMODO will resist weather, wind, and up to three (3) inches of rainfall before requiring reapplication.

KOMODO is available in various form factors designed for certain applications where a colorant is required. However, the water-soluble base formulation of KOMODO that is distributed through our retail sales channels is essentially transparent and leaves a very light harmless residue when the application has dried. There are no unpleasant or irritating odors with the KOMODO water-soluble base formulation in either the dry powder compound or when dissolved in water.

Yes, KOMODO is extremely effective in creating an impenetrable firebreak and defensible space around homes, businesses, and other vulnerable structures by treating the surrounding vegetation, fences, decks, sheds, and all exterior surfaces with its powerful fire protection formula. In addition to management of excessive vegetation, treating the areas surrounding your property with KOMODO will provide the necessary “defensible space” in compliance with California AB38 and other wildfire mitigation mandates currently enforced across the USA in high-risk fire hazard severity zones.

Yes, there are a growing number of reputable independent service providers who are equipped with the requisite deployment equipment to spray KOMODO on the vegetation and combustible structures (fences, decks, sheds, etc.) surrounding your residence, business, and property. Please contact us directly, and depending upon your location, we will be able to connect you with a KOMODO service provider in your area.

KOMODO has passed all USDA / U.S. Forest Service tests for burn performance; toxicity (mammals and salt / freshwater fish); corrosion and abrasion; non-metallics compatibility; and stability testing, with full certification and QPL (Qualified Products List) status pending. KOMODO also holds QAI (Quality Assurance International) and CAL Fire certifications for fire retardant efficacy.

Yes, KOMODO fire prevention and protection; fire retardant; and fire suppression technologies are proprietary and protected by both USA and World Organization patents filed and pending.

Yes, KOMODO is available to everyone as a complete Do-It-Yourself (DIY) kit with a battery-powered backpack sprayer unit and all needed supplies (KOMODO dry powder compound, mixing apparatus, funnel, etc.) to mix and apply powerful KOMODO fire protection on over 5,000 sq. ft. of vegetation and structures. KOMODO Do-It-Yourself (DIY) kits and various refill quantities of KOMODO Perimeter Shield dry powder compound are available on Amazon.com and directly via the KOMODO website at www.komodo-fire.com.

No, the KOMODO fire protection treatment will not harm your plants and landscaping when used as directed.

The KOMODO fire protection solution is designed and formulated to resist weather, wind, and up to three (3) inches of rainfall before requiring reapplication. However, because the KOMODO fire protection solution is water soluble and biodegradable, if it is subjected to repeated saturation by water sprinklers or other irrigation systems, the efficacy of the product will be reduced accordingly. We recommend that you irrigate your trees, shrubs, plants, and other landscaping vegetation at the base of the plants to avoid continued saturation of the KOMODO treated and protected foliage.

Each mixed gallon of KOMODO fire protection solution will cover approximately 400 sq. ft. of area, structures, and vegetation. To ensure optimum fire protection, carefully evaluate the degree of fire hazard in any given area to accurately calculate sufficient coverage.

While the KOMODO fire protection solution is a safe, non-toxic, non-hazardous, eco- friendly product, we recommend wearing adequate eye and face protection when using any spray device or similar equipment.

KOMODO serves as a very powerful and effective fire suppressant in combatting active fires. However, we strongly recommend that you NEVER attempt to combat any fire without professional assistance. In the event of any fire, contact your local Fire Department emergency personnel immediately!

KOMODO is not currently available in a typical fire extinguisher application. However, the KOMODO Fire Systems research and development teams are working to design and develop a series of innovative KOMODO fire extinguishers that will revolutionize the current fire extinguisher market for household, commercial, and industrial applications.
