Perimeter Solutions launches PHOS-CHEK 60th
Anniversary Virtual Museum to Showcase Storied History of Iconic
Brand
CLAYTON, Miss.,
Jan. 11,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Perimeter Solutions (NYSE: PRM),
a leading global manufacturer of high-quality firefighting products
and lubricant additives, is proud to announce that PHOS-CHEK®
long-term fire retardant is celebrating its 60th
anniversary. The iconic brand manufactured by Perimeter Solutions
was first approved for use in aerial wildfire attack by the United
States Forest Service in 1963, and it quickly became the go-to fire
retardant for wildland firefighters around the world. Over the past
six decades, PHOS-CHEK has helped firefighters to protect property
and save countless lives.
When it was introduced, PHOS-CHEK dramatically improved wildland
firefighting. PHOS-CHEK was the first commercialized gum-thickened
fire retardant that came with a range of viscosities. Before that,
the only options available to fire managers were retardants with
no-viscosity (un-thickened) or high-viscosity retardants. This
innovation allowed federal agencies to optimize retardant
characteristics based on delivery system, topographical situation,
fuel type, and specific fire characteristics.
Since 1963, the PHOS-CHEK brand has expanded beyond fire
retardant to include industry-standard firefighting foams and foam
dispensing systems, equipment to deploy PHOS-CHEK chemistry in
remote wooded locations, as well as ground-based fire retardants
that provide extended periods of protection from wildfire in
at-risk areas and around people's homes. PHOS-CHEK technology is
backed by a global team of people who support firefighting
operations with bases, logistics, consulting, applications and
technology development and more.
Today, PHOS-CHEK is synonymous with the development of the
modern firefighting industry. It has continued to evolve alongside
wildland firefighting to help firefighters meet the challenges of
longer, more intense wildfire seasons.
To celebrate this important milestone, Perimeter Solutions is
launching the PHOS-CHEK 60th Anniversary Virtual Museum.
An interactive gallery, visitors to the Museum can:
- Read about industry pioneers, like Larry Vandersall, who are responsible for the
development and evolution of PHOS-CHEK technology
- Learn about famous wildfires that changed fire safety and the
lives of those who were affected by them
- See the impact wildfires have on human health and the world
around us, and more
New features will be added to the PHOS-CHEK 60th
Anniversary Museum every month to provide fresh content for
visitors throughout all of 2023.
"The story of PHOS-CHEK is more than a story about products and
a company. It's a story about vision, innovation, about courage,
and commitment. It's a story about the history of firefighting
successes in the USA and beyond.
We hope people will share this Museum with family, friends
and business associates to let them know how committed we all are
to providing solutions that save lives." said Edward Goldberg,
CEO of Perimeter Solutions. "We are thrilled to introduce the
PHOS-CHEK 60th Anniversary Museum."
