Ground Retardant

FORTRESS FR-600 Ground Applied

FORTRESS FR-600 is our ground optimized liquid concentrate long-term retardant, specifically designed for utility right-of-way protection in high risk fire areas. This product is fully qualified by the USFS (United States Forest Service).

FORTRESS FR-600 features our unique magnesium chloride formulation, which means that it's more effective, safer for the environment, and more durable than conventional, fertilizer-based retardants. This formulation is specifically designed for large area applications using standard ground application equipment. FORTRESS FR-600 pretreatments are most effective when applied at the beginning of the wildland fire season, and will remain effective until diluted by substantial rainfall.
