PreFireX: The Groundbreaking Fire Retardant Protecting Land, Lives, and the Planet

Each year, wildfires destroy millions of hectares of forest, farmland, and property across the globe. Beyond the visible damage, they also release huge volumes of CO₂, disrupt ecosystems, and endanger human lives and livelihoods. In a world facing intensifying climate risks, effective and proactive fire prevention has never been more urgent.

That’s where PreFireX steps in.

A Smarter Way to Fight Fires — Before They Start

Developed by Xpyro, PreFireX is a ready-to-use, long-term fire-retardant liquid. Unlike traditional fire control methods that react after flames erupt, PreFireX is designed to prevent fires from spreading in the first place.

It works by being sprayed on the ground to create a chemical firebreak — a protective barrier that inhibits the advance of wildfires. Once applied, the treated area maintains fire resistance for up to 5 days, depending on weather conditions.

Proven in the Field

PreFireX has been successfully tested and validated by:

  • The Finnish Defence Forces

  • The Emergency Services Academy of Finland

  • The Mediterranean Agronomic Institute of Chania (MAICh)

It’s been used in real-world scenarios and under demanding conditions, giving confidence to first responders, military organizations, and land managers alike.

Where PreFireX Makes an Impact

This versatile solution can be applied in a wide range of environments, including:

  • Military grounds & national borders (e.g., training zones, ammunition depots)

  • Critical infrastructure (e.g., power plants, airports)

  • Private properties (e.g., homes, commercial buildings)

  • Agricultural and farming areas

  • Forests and natural landscapes

Wherever fire risk is high, PreFireX offers peace of mind.

How PreFireX Works: A Science-Driven Solution

At its core, PreFireX contains magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O). When exposed to heat from an approaching fire, this compound gradually releases water vapor, lowering the temperature of the environment and suppressing combustion.

The result? The fire loses momentum and is unable to spread.

As a bonus, what remains after the fire acts like fertilizer, enriching the soil with magnesium sulfate. It’s a win for fire prevention and for the land itself.

Eco-Conscious by Design

In addition to its fire-stopping power, PreFireX is:

  • Environmentally safe – no harmful emissions to the climate

  • Non-corrosive – safe for use near metal and infrastructure

  • Ready-to-use – no need for mixing or added water

  • Long-lasting – two-year storage life

  • Functional for days – up to five days of ground-level fire resistance

This makes it not just effective, but also practical and sustainable for wide-scale use.

Globally Patented Innovation

PreFireX is protected under patents granted in Australia, Canada, Finland, Indonesia, and OAPI (17 African countries), with additional patents pending in the U.S., China, EU, Brazil, Malaysia, and the Philippines. This global protection reflects its unique formulation and proven utility in wildfire defense.
