Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

Northwest Barricade LLC is committed to selling only a product containing a safe surfactant in its formulation. Barricade II Fire Blocking Gel is formulated with a safe surfactant that is an ingredient approved for use in foods. Safer surfactants are surfactants that break down quickly to non-polluting compounds. Nonylphenol ethoxylates, commonly referred to as NPEs, are an example of a surfactant class that does not meet this definition. There are no NPEs in the formulation of our product. NPEs and their breakdown products are toxic to aquatic life.
