F-500 Encapsulator Agent

F-500 EA is the answer to many of today’s firefighting challenges.  In a world where fires have become hotter and more difficult to extinguish, F-500 Encapsulator Agent’s unique capabilities meet those challenges.  First, F-500 EA has a remarkable ability to cool a fire and surrounding structures, with the ability to absorb 6-10 times more heat energy than plain water.  Instead of scalding steam, F-500 EA releases a warm vapor.  Secondly, F-500 EA encapsulates fuels forming micelles or “chemical cocoons” that render the fuel nonflammable and nonignitable.  Finally, F-500 EA interrupts the free radical chain reaction.  Free radicals are unburned gases produced during the combustion process that turn into smoke and soot.  Inhibiting the chain reaction results in less smoke, increased visibility and removal of most toxins, including cancer-causing toxins..

• Rapid cooling
• Encapsulates the fuel
• Interrupts the free radical chain reaction

These unique properties make F-500 Encapsulator Agent the most versatile firefighting agent available.  Where foam has to form and maintain a perfect blanket to separate a fire from oxygen, F-500 EA merely needs to contact the fuel and vapors.  F-500 EA is perfect for three-dimensional fires, plus F-500 EA is recommended for Class A, Class B (polar and nonpolar), Class D and Class K fires.  F-500 EA has even been tested and recommended by various companies for transformer fires and lithium-ion battery fires.  There’s no need to inventory Class A, AFFF and AR-AFFF foams and specialized agents for Class D fires.  F-500 EA can do it all!

One Agent – One Solution!
