Industrial and Commercial Use

FireIce can also be purchased by the bucket, with each bucket capable of mixing with 250 gallons of water. By mixing the FireIce firefighting powder with water, the same water output will yield far more dousing power, even greater than conventional foams. GelTech has also developed an advanced “venturi system” eductor to be used with FireIce, quickly mixing FireIce into your tanks for rapid application.

The FireIce Home Defense Unit can be used by homeowners to defend and protect their home and property during an emergency.

Having a working fire extinguisher helps to protect a home, but the addition of the FireIce system will provide an added safety net proven to work better than just water and other fire retardant foams. The Home Defense Unit supplies residential users with the ability to take action and to apply a state-of-the-art fire protectant directly to property. Home fire extinguishers can help put out a small fire, but when large fires threaten your home, the FireIce will protect, suppress and extinguish serious fire risks.
