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 environmentally safe fire inhibitor solutions for wildfire prevention, lumber, and wood products. The announcement comes as CitroTech advances commercial scale through a 50/50 joint venture with Hexion, a global producer of adhesives and performance materials.
CitroTech's fire inhibitor is made from food-grade ingredients like citric acid and is the only long-term fire inhibitor recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under its Safer Choice program, according to the company. The formulation is protected by 31 issued patents, with 56 more pending. This distinction sets CitroTech apart in a market where traditional fire retardants often contain heavy metals or phosphates that raise environmental concerns.
The company's technology has already attracted key partners and endorsements. In April 2026, Hexion formed HexiTech LLC, a joint venture with CitroTech to bring its fire-retardant technology to the lumber and engineered wood industry. 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 no detectable heavy metals above the lab's reporting limits. In San Diego, the fire marshal reported that the Alvarado Estates community experienced roughly 50% fewer fires over about two years of CitroTech treatment.
“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.
“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,” said Wes Bolsen, Chief Executive Officer of CitroTech.
The joint venture with Hexion is expected to accelerate commercial adoption in the wood products industry, where fire-resistant lumber and engineered wood are in growing demand for construction and wildfire-prone areas. The B2i Digital platform, which connects investors with companies through digital marketing and live events, will help CitroTech reach a broader audience of potential shareholders as it scales production and market presence.
