Phos-Chek LCE20W Exterior Retardant for Foliage

PHOS-CHEK® LCE20W is an uncolored version of PHOS-CHEK LCE20-Fx long-term fire retardant (the a red solution dropped from aircraft). PHOS-CHEK LCE20W is included on the US Forest Service Qualified Products List and delivers a proactive and preventive wildfire management solution that can be applied ahead of wildfire season or even during an oncoming threat by fire engine, water tender, or with Perimeter Solutions’ custom Ground Applied equipment. PHOS-CHEK LCE20W is ideal for rapid deployment ahead of fires and for potential fire events that are scheduled, including prescribed burns. It creates a fire break by making wildland fuels non-flammable, and works even when dry, so that a single application can offer long-term efficacy.

Concentrate is mixed with water in a 5.2:1 ratio. 5 Gallons will make 26 gallons of solution, which will cover approximately 2600 sq ft, depending on foliage.
