March 4, 2005 -- International Barrier Technology Inc. ("Barrier") (IBTGF: OTCBB; IBH: TSXV), a manufacturer of proprietary fire resistant building materials has reported shipping the fifty thousandth Mule-Hide FR Deck Panel in February 2005. This brings the total revenue from the contract to $1,394,838. Barrier produces a proprietary fire rated product that is labelled and shipped as "Mule-Hide FR Deck Panels". These panels are an integral part of an Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. "listed" roof deck assembly used by modular building manufacturers all over the US. The first shipments to this market began in January 2004.



"Barrier is extremely pleased with the success of the Mule-Hide modular product program," said Dr. Michael Huddy, International Barrier's President. Mule-Hide, and their distribution affiliate, ABC Supply, Inc., continue to aggressively promote the new, UL Listed roof deck assemblies and systematically add new manufacturing customers to the family of facilities utilizing the Blazeguard based system. "With each new manufacturing company converted to the Blazeguard based system, Barrier is presented with a long-term, consistent customer helping to not only increase sales volume but to provide consistency in month to month business."



Mule-Hide Products, Inc. is pleased as well. "The FR Deck Panel continues to drive outstanding sales from our modular manufacturer customers", reports Kim Hendricks, President of Mule-Hide Products Company, Inc. "The panel met the market's need for an affordable, easy to install, fire rated roof deck assembly for commercial modular structures. Modular manufacturers now have an assembly that withstands high winds and fire while providing superior performance at a lower installed cost."



"The Mule-Hide Deck FR Panel is an important part of Barrier's strategy to add new product lines and applications for our proprietary fire retardant technology", states Huddy. "As we continue to grow, the Mule-Hide experience will provide a successful example of how companies can work together to fill market opportunities and provide significant financial return for their investment."
