Ember Guard | Class A Fire Retardant

Ember Guard is a clear, non-toxic, water-based fire retardant designed for untreated wood surfaces. Independently tested to ASTM E84 standards by QAI Laboratories, it achieves a Class A fire rating with a Flame Spread Index (FSI) of ≤25 and a Smoke Developed Index (SDI) of 0—a performance level typically reserved for non-combustible materials.

The formula penetrates deeply into the wood’s cellular structure, forming a durable internal barrier that significantly reduces flame spread and may prevent smoke generation. In addition to fire resistance, Ember Guard enhances the wood’s dimensional stability—helping to prevent swelling, shrinking, and moisture intrusion, and can deter wood boring pests.
