B2i Digital Names CitroTech a Featured Company, Highlighting EPA-Recognized Fire Inhibitor

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 is both effective and environmentally safe. CitroTech's fire inhibitor, made from food-grade ingredients like citric acid, is the only long-term fire inhibitor recognized by the EPA under its Safer Choice program, distinguishing it in a market where many products contain heavy metals or other hazardous substances.

The company's technology is protected by 31 issued patents, with 56 more pending, and has already attracted significant commercial partnerships. In April 2026, Hexion, a global producer of 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 joint venture opens the path to commercial scale in wood products, a key market for fire-resistant materials.

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, citing that it had 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, demonstrating real-world efficacy.

"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," said David Shapiro, Chief Executive Officer of B2i Digital.

Wes Bolsen, Chief Executive Officer of CitroTech, noted the strategic timing: "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 about CitroTech, visit https://www.citrotech.com.
