B2i Digital, Inc. announced today that CitroTech Inc. (NYSE American: CITR) has been named a B2i Digital Featured Company. CitroTech develops and markets a fire inhibitor made from food-grade ingredients such as citric acid, which is the only long-term fire inhibitor recognized by the EPA under its Safer Choice program as safe for the environment. The company's formulation is protected by 31 issued patents, with an additional 56 pending.
Why this matters: CitroTech's technology addresses two critical needs—wildfire prevention and fire resistance in wood products—using a chemistry that avoids the environmental concerns associated with traditional fire retardants. The company has recently made significant strides in commercial adoption. In April 2026, Hexion, a global leader in adhesives and performance materials, formed HexiTech LLC, a 50/50 joint venture with CitroTech to bring its fire-retardant technology to the lumber and engineered wood industry. This partnership provides a path to commercial scale for wood treatment, a massive market for construction materials.
Additionally, All Risk Shield, a California firefighter and veteran-owned wildfire defense company, tested leading fire inhibitor products on the market and selected CitroTech as its go-to solution. The decision was based on the product's performance and its lack of detectable heavy metals, a key differentiator for environmental safety. In San Diego, the fire marshal reported that the Alvarado Estates community, treated with CitroTech, experienced roughly 50% fewer fires over about two years.
David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, stated, 'What piqued my interest in CitroTech is simple. They built a fire inhibitor that works and that the EPA recognizes as safe for the environment, and no one else can say that. When a team of veteran firefighters tests the whole field and still picks your product, that tells you something real. That is exactly the kind of story we want to carry across our platform and put in front of investors.'
Wes Bolsen, Chief Executive Officer of CitroTech, commented, 'Every market we serve is moving toward safer chemistry, and we have spent years building the products and the credentials to lead it. With the Hexion joint venture underway, this is the right moment to broaden our shareholder base, and B2i Digital connects us with the investors we want for what comes next.'
CitroTech's product line spans wildland application, factory and on-site wood treatment, and self-contained spray systems for residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The company is headquartered in Greenwood Village, Colorado. For more information, visit CitroTech.com.
