Once mixed with water, the solution is sprayed to the recommended coverage on combustible plant matter surrounding the assets, such as grass, bushes, bark, dry leaves and twigs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen exposed to flame or radiant heat, FIRECOAT Defend turns the plant matter surfaces into a protective char layer, forming a slow-burning barrier that helps slow the fire front’s approach. It buys more time for you to evacuate and emergency services to respond, while potentially reducing the extent of any damage to your assets. The coating will remain effective unless rained on, although for maximum protection we recommend regular re-application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFIRECOAT Defend is one of the best defences against bushfire threat on the market. It has been rigorously tested by the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) as part of its formal 18-month certification process for safe handling and environmental impact.
