We are delighted to share that Sallus Fire Retardant has been awarded an Honorable Mention at the prestigious National Agricultural Fair in Santarém.
This distinction, part of the Intermarché National Production Award, carries special significance. As a competition traditionally focused on the agri-food sector, receiving an Honorable Mention for Sallus Fire Retardant demonstrates that the jury recognized the exceptional merit and critical importance of this solution for national territory safety and protection.
Recognition of an Innovative Solution
Although Sallus Fire Retardant was not classified under any of the food competition categories, the impact of its fire prevention technology did not go unnoticed. For our team, this unexpected distinction confirms that national innovation has room to grow and be valued across multiple fronts.
This highlight also helps raise public awareness of these solutions, which remains scarce among the population.
"Our purpose is to make the product known, build trust, and above all, help those who benefit most from this type of solution." — Daniela Malafaia, Chemist.
The Merit of a Team and a Future Vision
We see this distinction as an initial step toward establishing the product in the European market, where non-toxic and effective alternatives are scarce.
"This award is the recognition of a young team and a product that fills a major gap in the Portuguese and European markets."
The Future of Protection
Sallus Fire Retardant acts as an active barrier against fire, featuring a water-based gel formulation that reacts to temperature to create an insulating, biodegradable layer free from PFAS and toxic components. Being recognized at the National Agricultural Fair puts the spotlight on an urgent need: intelligent and sustainable prevention for our forests and property.
We extend our gratitude to the organization of the National Agricultural Fair and to Intermarché for looking beyond traditional categories and recognizing the strategic value of Sallus Fire Retardant for National Production.
This award motivates us to continue our mission of bringing sustainable fire protection to homes and properties across the country and the world.
