Investment Thesis

The Market Opportunity

Climate Urgency & Global Cost

Extreme wildfires and fires at the wildland-urban interface cause socio-economic losses of tens of billions of euros every year in the European Union and worldwide, demanding effective preventive solutions.

Inevitable Regulatory Transition

EU and international legislation is actively phasing out traditional chemical retardants (PFAS, toxic ammonium compounds and persistent substances), opening a market gap for green thermo-responsive chemistry.

Active and Passive Protection of Critical Assets

Operators of power and telecom infrastructure, pulp and paper companies, municipalities and forest owners seek to safeguard strategic assets continuously and sustainably.

Competitive Advantage

Technology Drivers & Intellectual Property

Proprietary Intellectual Property

Proprietary development in biopolymer engineering and water-based thermal inhibition agents, protected by trade secrets and high value-added formulations.

Extensive testing in external certified laboratories proving no environmental impact (OECD protocols) and biocompatibility with flora, soils and water resources.

Rigorous Technical Certifications

Class A firefighting effectiveness certified under EN 3-7:2004+A1:2007 and the highest UNE 23530 classification for long-term retardant action.
