Item 7.01 FD Disclosure.
Watkins, MN; Vancouver, BC September 10, 2008 - International Barrier Technology Inc. (“Barrier”) (IBTGF: OTCBB; IBH: TSXV) - California architects, builders and designers looking to meet new fire codes for wildfire-prone areas now have a new, eco-friendly alternative – Barrier Technology’s Blazeguard® fire-rated structural sheathing panels.
Blazeguard panels feature Pyrotite™, a patented, cementitious coating over either oriented strand board (OSB) or plywood of various dimensions. The coating not only resists ignition but adds structural strength to its underlying substrate.
Blazeguard has been added to the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) products list by the California Office of the State Fire Marshall, and is the only product listed under three different categories – exterior wall siding and sheathing, under eave, and ignition-resistant materials.
