Aircraft Hangar Fire Suppression

Fluorine-Free
Fire Protection for Aviation

Aircraft hangars house high-value assets and demand advanced fire suppression to safeguard both property and personnel. The 2022 edition of NFPA 409 reflects evolving strategies outlined in the NFPA Research Foundation’s Performance Criteria for Aircraft Hangar Fire Protection Systems, which supports transitioning from traditional foam systems to modern alternatives such as Encapsulator Agents.

Multi-class

Today’s aircraft hangars, including those utilized by the United States Air Force, Navy, Coast Guard, and more, require a new fire suppression system capable of managing various fire hazards.

Three-dimensional

Flowing fuel fires pose complex hazards that NFPA 11 deems unsuitable for foam. Hangar fire protection can adapt with an appropriate alternative: fluorine-free Encapsulator Technology.

Lithium-ion Batteries

Over 15 Years of Proven
Lithium-ion Battery Fire Testing

As aviation leaders find new ways to meet Net Zero 2050 guidelines, electric power is embraced. NFPA 18A Annex 4.3 acknowledges over 15 years of industry research and testing utilizing Encapsulator Agents to mitigate flammability, explosivity, and toxicity. This testing spans multiple continents, highlighting Encapsulator Technology as a global solution.

Flammability

F-500 EA® mitigates lithium-ion battery fires by encapsulating flammable electrolyte and absorbing thermal energy. This halts thermal runaway propagation and rapidly cools the fire’s ignition source.

Explosivity

F-500 EA® effectively stops the production of toxic off-gases from burning lithium-ion batteries. By preventing the release of hazardous vapors and gases, we reduce the risk of explosions.

Toxicity

F-500 EA® significantly reduces exposure to harmful emissions and carcinogens present in smoke. We actively protect building occupants from the dangers of lithium-ion battery fire suppression.

Aviation Applications

Prioritize Life Safety
with an FAA Included Agent

The Diamond Doser® pump unit, powered by F-500 EA®, injects Encapsulator Agent concentrate into any aircraft hangar fire suppression system. Encapsulator Agents are included in FAA AC 150/5210-6E, equipping you with a versatile solution that delivers fixed and mobile fire protection for all multi-class and three-dimensional aviation hazards.
