Aviation
Encapsulator Agents Are Now
Included in FAA AC 150/5210-6E
Encapsulator Technology provides aviation leaders with an innovative fluorine-free solution for multi-class and three-dimensional hazards, offering peace of mind for the general public, employees, and first responders.
Industry Inclusion of
NFPA 18A Encapsulator Technology
Aviation hazards are growing more complex every year. Ensuring the safety of passengers and crew members is top of mind as aircraft hold contemporary synthetic materials that are capable of emitting toxic, explosive, and flammable liquids and off-gases. Effective fire suppression solutions become more critical. Encapsulator Agents are now included in the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)’s most recent advisory circular, representing an expectation for excellence in aircraft fire suppression.

Aviation Incident Response
F-500 EA® takes the guess work
out of any aviation emergency
UL LISTED NFPA 18 | Class A Fires & Class B Fires
Encapsulator Technology is now a globally recognized solution that safely mitigates a wide range of hazards. In fact, Turkey has adopted F-500 EA® for handling lithium-ion battery hazards in 48 airports. Encapsulator Agents excel in both fire suppression and spill control while remaining fluorine-free, non-corrosive, and biodegradable. This makes them a responsible and reliable extinguishing agent for Aviation leaders transitioning away from Milspec AFFF and AR-AFFF foams.
F-500 EA® has been approved by multiple equipment manufacturers for manual, mobile, and fixed applications. We suggest solutions ranging from 1%-3% depending on the materials involved.

Fire Safety for Aviation
Aircrafts
A lithium ion battery fire can endanger hundreds on board. An aircraft fire extinguisher capable of mitigating hazardous vapors is crucial when combating fires in confined spaces like the aircraft cabin or flight deck.
Airports
The FAA estimates that 2.9M passengers fly in and out of United States airports daily. A versatile commercial transport aircraft fire extinguisher that’s safe to discharge in the presence of passengers is essential.
Car Parks
To accommodate changes in production, NFPA 88A now requires all parking garages, open and closed parking structures, to install sprinkler systems in accordance with NFPA 13.
Hangars
Recent revisions to NFPA 409 allow aircraft hangar owners to take control of their fire protection plans, opting for superior fire suppression solutions such as Encapsulator Agents when needed.
Rentals
Automotive manufacturers across the board are opting for more complex synthetic plastics and rubbers as well as lightweight flammable metals and green energy solutions, including hybrids and EVs.
Runways
Electric ground support equipment is revolutionizing runways around the world. Today’s runways require eco-friendly fire protection capable of neutralizing mixed fuels in an energized environment.
Industrial Fire Safety
Leaders Trust F-500 EA®
The FAA estimates 70% of their recorded
lithium-ion battery fires are passenger related
Renowned organizations like Bosch, General Motors, Tesla, and more are benefiting from the peace of mind provided by the world’s most versatile lithium-ion battery fire extinguisher: F-500 EA®. It not only meets but exceeds the minimum performance standards for aircraft fire suppression.
