As EV adoption and supporting infrastructure expand, fires on roadways and in parking structures have become increasingly volatile. Whether parked, charging, or in motion, EV incidents pose hazards beyond flammability. F-500 EA® extinguishes these fires with significantly less water while mitigating flammability, explosivity, and toxicity.
As electric vehicles and hybrid vehicles gain popularity, charging stations follow suit to accommodate commuters. F-500 EA® is capable of mitigating lithium-ion fires and solar panel fires.
Contemporary parking structures require NFPA 13-compliant fixed fire protection. Sprinkler systems equipped with F-500 EA® can contain EV fires, preventing extensive damage.
F-500 EA® is trusted on tracks around the world, including NASCAR, Formula 1, and Formula E, where flammable liquids and Li-ion battery fires demand immediate action.
According to the NFPA, hot work is a leading cause of today’s industrial fires. F-500 EA® neutralizes fuel spills, providing burn back resistance while creating a safer environment for welding.
Every moment spent on the roadside places first responders in harm’s way. F-500 EA® mitigates electric vehicle and flowing fuel fires with ease, limiting firefighters’ exposure time.
A large ro-ro ferry can transport over 8,000 vehicles at a time. Our onboard EV fire suppression system is saltwater compatible with a proven history of extinguishing automotive hazards.
An electric vehicle fire poses unique risks with Class A, B, and C hazards, high energy density, and volatile thermal runaway. 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.
F-500 EA® mitigates electric vehicle fires by encapsulating flammable electrolyte and absorbing thermal energy. This halts thermal runaway propagation and rapidly cools the fire’s ignition source.
F-500 EA® effectively stops the production of hazardous off-gases from burning EVs, preventing vapor cloud combustion. Unlike EV fire blankets, we proactively reduce the risk of explosions.
F-500 EA® significantly reduces exposure to harmful emissions and carcinogens present in smoke. We actively protect first responders from the unseen dangers of EV fire suppression.
