B2i Digital, Inc. has announced that CitroTech Inc. (NYSE American: CITR) has been named a B2i Digital Featured Company, spotlighting the specialty chemical company's fire inhibitor technology that uses food-grade ingredients such as citric acid. CitroTech's formulation is the only long-term fire inhibitor recognized by the EPA under its Safer Choice program, and it is protected by 31 issued patents with 56 more pending. The company's products are designed to defend homes and wildlands from wildfire and to build fire resistance into lumber and wood products.
The market is responding to CitroTech's offerings. In April 2026, Hexion, a global producer of adhesives and performance materials, formed a 50/50 joint venture called HexiTech LLC with CitroTech to bring the fire-retardant technology to the lumber and engineered wood industry. This partnership is expected to open the path to commercial scale in wood products. Additionally, All Risk Shield, a California firefighter and veteran-owned wildfire defense company, tested leading products on the market and selected CitroTech as its go-to solution, noting that it was the only one with no detectable heavy metals above the lab's reporting limits. In San Diego, the fire marshal reported that the Alvarado Estates community saw roughly 50% fewer fires over about two years of CitroTech treatment.
David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital, commented, '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, and it is why CitroTech is now a Featured Company.'
Wes Bolsen, Chief Executive Officer of CitroTech, stated, '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.'
