Encapsulator Technology

The Next Generation of Hazard
Mitigation for Firefighters and Industry Leaders

Encapsulator Agents are not firefighting foams. While foams work on a mechanical level, Encapsulator Agents work on a molecular level, changing the composition of a water droplet with the introduction of spherical micelles. There are several types of fire suppression systems available today, but systems powered by F-500 EA® ensure a comprehensive approach that targets multi-class hazards.

Encapsulator Agents are an excellent choice for a variety of fires that cannot be fought effectively with foam or water. This includes three-dimensional fires, flowing fuel fires, and fires within an energized environment. These hazards require a specialized approach. That’s where Encapsulator Agents comes in. An Encapsulator Agent works on all four legs of the fire tetrahedron simultaneously.

F-500 EA® Features

How F-500 Encapsulator Agent Improves
Safety While Limiting Damage, Loss, and Downtime

Materials like combustible metals, lithium-ion batteries, and synthetic fabrics have become commonplace in the home, at work, and in industrial facilities, challenging traditional fire suppression and detection systems. F-500 Encapsulator Agent, our flagship fire suppression agent, possesses four unique features that provide unparalleled benefits for your team.

For those concerned about environmental compliance, F-500 EA® does not contain any fluorinated active ingredients reportable under the Superfund Amendments, Re-authorization Act (SARA) Title III, Section 313, or Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA). It can be discarded as a non-hazardous waste under RCRA CFR261.

Encapsulation

Encapsulation of polar and non-polar fuels provided by F-500 EA® reduces the risk of re-ignition in the form of stable and long-term burn back resistance.

  • Expand Hazard Mitigation Capabilities
  • Establish Confident Incident Response
  • Experience Long-term Stable Burn Back Resistance
  • Prevent Re-ignition

Rapid Heat Reduction

F-500 EA® molecules form an outer layer of agent on each droplet. This drives heat internally where micro spherical micelles rapidly absorb thermal energy.

  • Expand Rapid Knockdown Capabilities
  • Improve Droplet Utilization
  • Prevent Scalding Steam and Excess Runoff
  • Decrease Time, Resources, and Exposure

Free Radical Interruption

F-500 EA® proactively reduces the concentration of harmful hydrocarbons present in smoke and soot by interrupting the free radical chain reaction.

  • Reduce Carcinogenic Toxin Concentration
  • Promote Department and Employee Health
  • Improve Visibility and Air Quality
  • Reduce Environmental Contamination

Sustainability

F-500 EA® is a fluorine free, noncorrosive, and biodegradable solution capable of extinguishing three-dimensional multi-class hazards.

  • Improve Community Health
  • Prevent Hazardous and Costly Cleanup
  • Avoid Machinery Deterioration
  • Reduce Environmental Contamination
