Section 8 - Other Events
Item 8.01 Other Events.
The United States Patent and Trademark Office examined and allowed our patent application #15/344,298, dated November 4, 2016, titled “Fire Inhibitor Formulation.” Accordingly, we are pleased to disclose that we were awarded patent #9920250, issued on March 20, 2018.
As we announced on September 28, 2016, our Fire Inhibitor Formulation is a continuation-in-part application of our USPTO Application No. 15/238,463, entitled “Formulation and Method for Preserving Wood,” filed on August 16, 2016. We reported then that the composition contains no halogenated or toxic materials and can be considered safe around adult humans and animals. The solvent is water-based and the dry state of the composition emits virtually zero volatile organic compounds.
Eco Red Shield – AFL™ and FT™ – exhibit an eco-friendly fire resistance methodology for various wood substrates. Our FT™ formulation renders dimensional lumber, in various species, equivalent to traditional FRTW specifications, but without the harmful effects and strength degradation. The key constituent in these formulations is the use of our FRC 12™ fire inhibitor.
The technical abstract of our newly issued patent provided that our present invention is directed to an aqueous-based fire inhibitor formulation comprising potassium salts and high nitrogen-based constituents encapsulated with a binder. The formulation contains no halogenated or toxic materials and is considered safe around adult humans and animals. The solvent is water-based and the dry state of the formulation emits virtually zero volatile organic compounds.
