F-500 EA®
Overview
F-500 EA® is an eco-friendly, versatile Encapsulator Agent engineered for fire, vapor, and contamination control. Unlike firefighting foams that act on a mechanical level to smother fires, F-500 EA® works on a molecular level. It alters the composition of plain water droplets by introducing spherical micelles, which allows it to target all four legs of the fire tetrahedron simultaneously to mitigate contemporary high-hazards like lithium-ion battery fires.
What is F-500 EA®?
F-500 EA® is an Encapsulator Agent.
Foams work on a mechanical level, relying on a bubble blanket to separate the fuel from the oxygen. Unlike foams, Encapsulator Agents work on a molecular level, relying on spherical micelles to encapsulate fuel. These spherical micelles work on all four legs of the fire tetrahedron simultaneously to deliver three unique features: encapsulation, rapid heat reduction, and free radical interruption.
Encapsulator Agents are recognized in NFPA 18A, Standard on Water Additives for Fire Control and Vapor Mitigation. This is the first standard outlining the criteria an agent must meet to be classified as an Encapsulator Agent. The Spherical Micelle Stability Test protocol in Section 7.7 evaluates a concentrate’s ability to form stable spherical micelles which are capable of encapsulating hydrocarbon and polar based fuels, thereby rendering them nonflammable.
How does F-500 EA® compare to fluorine-free foam?
Technology is outpacing the codes and standards put out by leading regulatory agencies. This has left markets and first responders unprepared for many of the challenges and hazards associated with today’s industrial fires. Many organizations are switching to fluorine-free foam for “safe” protection, but these foams aren’t capable of mitigating the high hazards they’re faced with.
Although fluorine-free foam can be useful under specific circumstances, NFPA 11 states that foam is an inappropriate choice for fighting three-dimensional and flowing fuel fire hazards. For all-encompassing fire protection covering multi-class, three-dimensional, and flowing fuel hazards, an alternative is needed. That’s where fluorine free Encapsulator Technology comes into play.
What types of fires can F-500 EA® extinguish?
F-500 EA® can effectively extinguish blazes containing mixed materials.
Class A
Wildland Fires, Wood, Paper, Cloth, Rubber, Plastic, Coal, Etc.
Class B (2D)
Gasoline, Diesel Fuel, Oil, E10, E85, Ethanol, Methanol, Jet Fuel, Etc.
Class B (3D)
Transformers, Oil Rigs, Aircraft Turbines, Distillation Columns, Etc.
Energized Environments

Class D

F-500 EA® Diamond Doser®
Overview
The F-500 EA® Diamond Doser® is a water-driven volumetric proportioner designed to seamlessly inject F-500 EA® concentrate into your water stream to enhance the performance of plain water for high-hazard firefighting and fire protection. Trusted by firefighters and industry leaders worldwide, it delivers immediate results to preserve structural integrity and prioritize life safety—consistently exceeding codes standards through rigorous international testing.
How does a Diamond Doser® compare to a bladder tank?
The F-500 EA® Diamond Doser® offers several benefits that a bladder tank cannot.
Superior Protection
Make F-500 EA® your fire suppression agent of choice for multi-class and three-dimensional protection against high hazards like lithium-ion batteries. The Diamond Doser® automatically adjusts dosing as more heads open.
Eco-friendly Operation
F-500 EA® is a fluorine-free, biodegradable, and noncorrosive agent that delivers effective fire suppression while reducing your environmental impact and costly disposal fees—combining performance with sustainability.
Low Maintenance
No manual calibration or lubrication is required. Simply crank the shaft of your Diamond Doser® every two months with a ratchet wrench. Safely refill your atmospheric tank with F-500 EA® concentrate as needed for a continuous flow.
Economical Testing
Enjoy annual savings on NFPA-mandated testing that doesn’t generate F-500 EA® solution while simplifying the testing process with an accessible atmospheric tank when you add a Dosing Return Valve (DRV) to your Diamond Doser®.
