Micelle Mist is redefining the water mist system with F-500 EA®, the proven solution for lithium-ion battery fires. Offered in low-pressure and high-pressure continuous-flow or stand-alone configurations, F-500 EA® Micelle Mist mitigates hazards that water mist alone cannot address effectively in BESS, Parking Garages, EV Charging Stations, Data Centers, and Ro-Ro Ships.

F-500 EA® Micelle Mist extinguishes lithium-ion battery fires by encapsulating flammable electrolyte and absorbing thermal energy 10x faster than plain water mist. This halts thermal runaway propagation in its tracks and prevents re-ignition.
F-500 EA Micelle Mist® suppresses the generation of explosive off-gases produced during lithium-ion battery combustion. By inhibiting the release of hazardous vapors, it prevents atmospheric gas buildup that can create unstable, explosive environments.
F-500 EA® Micelle Mist significantly reduces exposure to harmful emissions and carcinogens present in smoke and soot, actively protecting building occupants from the covert dangers of lithium-ion battery fire suppression.

How does F-500 EA® Micelle Mist compare to traditional fire suppression methods?
The F-500 EA® Micelle Mist is a water mist fire protection system engineered for lithium-ion battery fire suppression and beyond. It combines the physical cooling performance of a water mist system with encapsulator-based chemistry to control flammability, suppress explosive vapor formation, and reduce toxic byproducts produced during battery failure events.
Unlike conventional water mist systems that rely solely on heat absorption and oxygen displacement, Micelle Mist actively interacts with flammable electrolyte and hazardous off-gases. This allows the system to address the full hazard chain reaction associated with lithium-ion battery fires, including thermal runaway propagation, vapor explosivity, and toxic atmospheric contamination.
The Micelle Mist water mist system is designed for high-risk lithium-ion environments such as Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), Electric Vehicle Charging Stations, Parking Garages, Data Centers, Marine and Ro-Ro Vessels, and industrial Battery Rooms where traditional water mist fire protection alone is insufficient.
Can F-500 EA® Micelle Mist be used in occupied spaces?
Yes, F-500 EA® Micelle Mist is safe to discharge in occupied spaces, making it ideal for use in critical facilities such as data centers, telecom facilities, and EV charging stations. It suppresses fires effectively without causing harm to building occupants or first responders.
How does Smart-LX enhance fire prevention for lithium-ion battery systems?
Smart-LX® by Embedded Logix replaces traditional manual monitoring with automated alerts. By using customizable rules, it sends notifications directly to your device at the first sign of temperature rise or vapor release. This advanced system provides real-time monitoring, enabling immediate action to prevent fires and explosions in rack systems.
Battery energy storage is essential for stabilizing the renewable power grid by storing solar and wind energy for peak demand. However, rapid adoption introduces serious fire risks—especially in rural areas with limited emergency resources. F-500 EA® Micelle Mist addresses more than flammability, mitigating hazardous vapor risks that threaten lives and property.
Fires involving electric vehicles in parking garages are becoming more common, with most occurring while vehicles are parked or charging. Confined garage spaces intensify firefighting challenges. F-500 EA® Micelle Mist water mist systems help prevent the spread of thermal runaway before first responders arrive, using significantly less water and producing minimal runoff.
Lithium-ion batteries are replacing lead-acid batteries in data centers due to their higher energy density, faster charging, and longer life at a lower cost. However, the risks posed by lithium-ion battery fires demand innovative fire protection solutions. F-500 EA® Micelle Mist is safe to discharge in occupied spaces, making it an ideal choice for battery fire suppression in critical facilities like data centers.
Global transport of lithium-ion batteries is increasing, and so are severe marine fires. These blazes are endangering passengers, crews, vessels, and cargo. That’s why advanced fire detection, containment, and suppression systems are becoming essential for marine fire safety. The F-500 EA® Micelle Mist water mist system is saltwater-friendly and expertly designed to safeguard offshore operations.
