FireStop

Project Objective:

The project aims to jointly develop a sustainable, low environmental impact fire retardant for use in wooden buildings and timber, suitable for:

• Exterior and interior applications.
• Both industrial and home users.

By fostering cross-border knowledge transfer between three universities and two SMEs, the project will:

• Enhance the competitiveness of MultiPro Systems (Estonia) and BBidea (Latvia).
• Provide an innovative solution to meet the needs of the Baltic wood and timber industry.
• Ensure high performance in efficiency, durability, sustainability, low toxicity, and affordability.

Key Activities:

• Developing fire-retardant formulations for wooden materials.
• Measuring and evaluating fire performance of treated wood products.
• Assessing sustainability and ecotoxicity of the fire retardant.
• Piloting and testing the developed product in an industrial environment.
• Communicating project results to stakeholders and industry professionals.

Expected Results:

• A newly developed fire retardant meeting strict environmental and safety standards.
• Enhanced competitiveness of participating SMEs through innovation.
• Stronger cross-border collaboration between research institutions and industry.
• A sustainable and efficient fire protection solution for the Baltic timber sector.
