LAUNCH OF ZENOVA WB: A NEW ANTI-WILDFIRE PRODUCT
"The Zenova WB fluid is clearly an effective product for use as
part of wildland firefighting toolkits" - wildFIRE Lab, University
of Exeter.
Zenova Group PLC ("Zenova", the "Company" or the "Group"), a
provider of innovative fire safety and heat management technology
and products, is pleased to announce the launch of its Zenova WB
wildfire product following a number of highly successful tests.
Importantly the product has now also been embraced by the
University of Exeter's highly respected wildFIRE Lab, an
independent organisation that conducts leading research on fire
behaviour and fire effects on ecosystems.
In standard laboratory-controlled conditions Zenova WB prevented
ignition and flaming of dry grass fuels that were treated with it.
Moreover, despite exposures to temperatures of 750(o) C, no heat
was emitted from the dry-grass fuel and smouldering was prevented.
A short video of the product in action can be viewed at the
following link: https://zenovagroup.com/products/zenova-wb/
The testing was led by Professor Claire Belcher, Director of the
wildFIRE lab at the University of Exeter and a renowned expert in
the transmission and causes of wildfires. Following the studies she
commented:
"We tested Zenova WB fluid in controlled conditions in the
laboratory and I was amazed by its ability to prevent ignition and
spread of fire in dry grassy fuels, which are typically the most
ignitable fuel across many landscapes. I really look forward to
working with the Zenova team in the future, to conduct trials on
multiple vegetation substrates, both in the laboratory and during
real landscape scale wildfire settings."
This announcement of the successful testing and subsequent
endorsement of Zenova WB marks the formal launch of Zenova WB which
has been designed, developed and manufactured by Zenova's in-house
team of fire safety experts. The expectation from the Company is
for Zenova WB to play a crucial global role in the tackling of
wildfires, both helping to suppress an outbreak and also as a
pre-emptive treatment measure for those areas deemed particularly
high-risk.
The company's CEO, Tony Crawley, commented:
"This test by a renowned academic institution that is world
leading in wildfire research validates the clear potential of
Zenova WB fluid at the highest level".
"Wildfires are threatening lives, homes, infrastructure and
wildlife and Zenova WB fluid can efficiently and economically
tackle this problem globally by preventing wildfire spread.
Our existing products have strong environmental credentials and
Zenova WB is no different, with tests showing the product can be
applied without damaging the local environment.
We look forward to providing innovative solutions to all parts
of the world affected by wildfires as we expand our operations
internationally."
