The CitroTech Story
Our History
Protection starts before ignition. Our mission is to deliver safer chemistry that empowers people, industries, and communities to act early — creating a future where fire is stopped before it starts.
Our Historical Timeline
A Decade Building the Wildfire Firewall
We approach each customer with the utmost care and consideration. When creating our process, we took time to consider how stressful finding the right solution for wildfire defense can be. The result is a roadmap of patents, certifications, and breakthroughs that protects your home and gives peace of mind during wildfire season.
- 2015 — 2017
Creation & Early Development
Identifies the need for new, non-toxic binding chemistry to keep fire-retardant adhered to wood and vegetation. Around that time, Steve Conboy — who would go on to found Mighty Fire Breaker — began developing what became the CitroTech® formula. After extensive testing, the core CitroTech® chemistry was established and the first patents filed. Over subsequent years, our patent family expanded extensively; today roughly 47 patents exist with more pending.
- 2019 — 2022
Engagement, Certification & Widely Recognized Innovation
Under the leadership and technical direction of Steve Conboy, CitroTech® entered dialogue with the U.S. EPA and pursued eco-safe fire-retardant standards. That work culminated in CitroTech® earning the EPA Safer Choice certification. During this period, the vision of non-toxic, proactive wildfire defense moved from concept to recognized product.
- 2022
UL GREENGUARD Gold Certification
Achieves UL GREENGUARD Gold certification for CitroTech®. Validates exceptionally low chemical emissions — a major differentiator for lumber and construction materials, indoor environments, and wildfire defense applications.
- 2023 — 2024
EPA Safer Choice Partner of the Year — Two Years Running
Mighty Fire Breaker becomes EPA Safer Choice Partner of the Year for the first time in 2023, and receives the recognition for the second consecutive year in 2024.
- 2025
DrJ Engineering, ASTM E84 & ASTM E2768
DrJ Engineering TER 2504-101 confirms IBC / IRC compliance for CitroTech-treated materials in residential and commercial structures. CitroTech-treated materials achieve an ASTM E84 Class A rating for low flame spread and smoke development, and pass the 30-minute extended-duration ASTM E2768 surface-burning test — ideal for WUI and wildfire defense applications.
- 2025
Uplisted to NYSE: CITR
In early December of 2025, CitroTech officially becomes uplisted to the NYSE under the ticker CITR.
Today & Tomorrow
Science, Code Pathways & Field Deployment
Our roadmap pairs continued third-party validation with practical deployment: engineered wood, vegetation programs, and homeowner defense systems that all share one chemistry platform.
