While NFPA 13 sets a high standard for sprinkler system design and installation, our fire suppression solutions raise the bar by offering rapid fire containment and enhanced protection for critical areas. With F-500 EA, you’re not only compliant with fire safety codes; you’re equipped with the highest quality solutions to protect personnel, property owners, and their assets.
In one of the largest lithium-ion battery incidents, a parking garage fire in South Korea saw over 800 vehicles in flames. Traditional suppression methods proved ineffective against the high-intensity flames fueled by electric vehicles.
FILK testing demonstrates how F-500 EA meets the evolving demands of the fire protection industry. We’re helping South Korea move forward with innovative fire protection solutions that effectively mitigate future fire hazards.
In parking structures and other high-risk environments, traditional water-based fire protection systems often fall short when facing intense fires fueled by flammable liquids, lithium-ion batteries, or other combustible materials.
When F-500 Encapsulator Agent is added to fire sprinkler systems, it improves on the water that’s currently being used by enhancing its ability to absorb thermal energy and encapsulate flammable vapors. This provides a faster, safer, and more effective solution to fire suppression.
Encapsulator Technology is rigorously tested to ensure each deployment meets the highest standards of efficiency, precision, and environmental responsibility. With the rise of lithium-ion batteries in vehicles parking in garages and other enclosed spaces, it’s essential to have a solution that targets flammability, explosivity, and toxicity.
F-500 EA controls high-temperature flames, encapsulates flammable vapors, and minimizes water usage, making it the ideal solution for modern fire risks.
By working hand-in-hand with Diamond Doser water-driven proportioner, it delivers a 3% solution of F-500 EA to extinguish 3 parking spaces in just 60 minutes. This concentrate pump system is Applus+ approved under ETI 23/32306438 following certification testing in Spain – helping to protect high-risk environments in parking garages, charging stations, energy storage, warehouses, aircraft hangars, and more.
Standard for the design and installation of sprinkler systems to prevent fire deaths and property loss. The 2022 edition of NFPA 13 increased the recommended hazard classification from Ordinary Hazard Group 1 to Ordinary Hazard Group 2.
F-500 EA exceeds these requirements by delivering enhanced vapor encapsulation and offering a level of protection that standard water-based systems cannot achieve.
Protect your parking garage from multi-class and three-dimensional fire hazards with the powerful capabilities of F-500 EA.
Maintain reliable coverage with a system that adjusts as more sprinkler heads activate, ensuring accurate dosing and consistent protection.
Avoid unexpected discharges and minimize environmental impact when you add a Dosing Return Valve (DRV).
Trusted by leaders like Bosch, Duracell, and Tesla, F-500 EA has become the go-to solution for advanced fire protection. Organizations rely on F-500 EA for its ability to exceed industry standards, providing a safer approach to managing the unique fire risks of lithium-ion batteries.
