F-500 EA is a multi-class fire prevention, protection and suppression agent
Its versatility is what makes it an exceptional fire prevention product with multiple other uses too.
F-500 EA Fire Suppression Agent: Enhanced Safety & Biodegradable Solution
For every fire, the best outcome is increased firefighter safety and reduced property damage. As today’s fires become more challenging, the F-500 EA Multi-Purpose Encapsulator Agent has the engineered advantage of high-performance, three-dimensional firefighting capabilities. 100% biodegradable, F-500 EA has the ability to absorb 6-10 times more heat than plain water without the creation of super-heated steam. F-500 EA is not a foam, it forms “chemical cocoons” that encapsulates fuels, rendering them flammable and non-ignitable. Additionally, it interrupts the free radical chain reaction of the fire tetrahedron. The result? A drastic reduction in toxins, greater visibility, and reduced smoke and soot.
What are the benefits of using F-500 EA?
- Keeps your industry personnel, assets and property healthier and safer while reducing damage.
- F-500 EA eliminates scalding steam and reduces smoke by 97%, improving visibility.
- F-500 EA’s rapid knockdown means up to 20 x less time spent in IDLH (immediately dangerous to life or health) environments.
- F-500 EA is 100% fluorine free and noncorrosive.
- F-500 EA reduces cancer-causing toxins by over 98%, drastically reducing health risks and improving air quality.
- F-500 EA is very efficient whereby its rapid knockdown capabilities translate to less time, less water, less runoff and less stress on personnel. It also provides on scene decontamination.
- 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.
- F-500 EA molecules form an outer layer of agent on each droplet and creates rapid heat reduction and absorbs thermal energy.
- F-500 EA proactively reduces the concentration of harmful hydrocarbons present in smoke and soot by interrupting the free radical chain reaction.
- F-500 EA is a biodegradable solution capable of extinguishing three-dimensional multi-class hazardous fires.
