Fire Safety Solutions that
anticipate your facility’s needs
As technology advances, industry leaders in every market must adapt. This often means utilizing more complex and synthetic materials as well as making the switch to green energy. These changes in production help push us toward a brighter future, but they come at a cost. Many fixed fire protection systems aren’t equipped to protect the public, personnel, infrastructure, and the environment while preventing downtime and loss. Our fire safety solutions are powered by patented Encapsulator Technology engineered for all encompassing and eco-friendly hazard protection.
F-500 EA® Applications
Fire Suppression
Encapsulator Agents change the chemical make-up of a water droplet with the addition of spherical micelles. This introduces several unique features that aide in their success when fighting industrial fires, including encapsulation, rapid heat reduction, and free radical interruption. An Encapsulator Agent interacts with all legs of the fire tetrahedron to mitigate hazards, including lithium-ion battery fires, offering business owners countless benefits in the process.
Lithium-ion Battery Mitigation
NFPA has recognized over fifteen years of independent scientific testing of Encapsulator Agents for the suppression of lithium-ion battery fires. Encapsulator Agents adhering to NFPA 18A Section 7.7 work to extinguish battery fires on three distinct levels: flammability, explosivity, and toxicity. This extensive approach to lithium-ion battery suppression provides effective protection while prioritizing the health and safety of first responders and building occupants.
Spill Control
Encapsulator Agents are capable of encapsulating a variety of polar and non-polar hydrocarbon spills, rendering flammable liquids nonflammable, nonignitable, and nonexplosive. They are the perfect choice for mitigating industrial spills lacking significant depth and can be utilized with salt water for offshore fire protection. Unlike firefighting foams, an Encapsulator Agent works on a molecular level to neutralize fuel without the need for blanketing.
Tank Degassing
Encapsulator Agents are a safe and economical solution for both tank degassing and tank cleaning in addition to offering rapid heat reduction. Hydrocarbon dense liquid, sludge, and vapor is scrubbed, lifted, and removed from tanks in record time. An Encapsulator Agent can lower LELs to zero quickly, preventing an explosion and reducing downtime often experienced during lengthy ventilation periods.
Dust Control
Encapsulator Agents can streamline housekeeping, an essential routine practice for many businesses. Amassed dust surrounding processing equipment and suspended particles provide the perfect environment for a disastrous fire or explosion. Plain water is often used to mitigate dust hazards, but it can prove to be dangerous when a hot spot is involved. An Encapsulator Agent can safely control the accumulation of fine grains, coal, rubbers, and metals while minimizing runoff.
