Kiilto and PPO-Elektroniikka Oy have combined their expertise and developed an environmentally friendly fire-fighting chemical for extinguishing forest fires and wildfires.
Kiilto’s 100-year expertise in the chemical industry and PPO-Elektroniikka’s more than 30 years of experience in fire extinguishing technology made it possible to develop this unique solution. Kiilto is responsible for the manufacture of the product and PPO-Elektroniikka for its marketing and the development of the spreading technique.
“At Kiilto, we have seen a clear need from our customer base for the development of environmentally friendly fire retardants. When Timo contacted Kiilto, we already had some product ideas and, with some refining, we came up with a suitable solution for stopping forest fires from spreading. PPO-Elektroniikka has fire protection expertise and good connections with operators in the field, so it was natural for us to start working with them,” explains Juha Rinne, Customer Service Manager of Kiilto.
