Is the Safestat thermostat a Motorad Failsafe thermostat?

"When overheating occurs, fail-safe automatically locks in the open position to permit maximum coolant flow" Some people report that once it overheats it stays locked-open?

If it is not that thermostat, does the Safestat company have a website?
