F-500 Encapsulator Technology

F-500 is a Micelle Encapsulator Fire Suppression Agent. F-500 is a multi-purpose agent used worldwide for various applications. The fire suppression mechanics and technology utilized by F-500 are vastly different than conventional foam. F-500 forms and maintains micelles, "chemical cocoons," around the hydrocarbon fuel neutralizing the fuel leg of the fire tetrahedron rather than forming a blanket depriving the fire of oxygen. For fire suppression, F-500 is UL listed for Class A and Class B fires at 1%, 3% and 6%. Typically, 1% is used for Class A fires, with 3% and 6% used for Class B fires. For Class D fires a more concentrated solution is required.

Some of the features and benefits of F-500 Multipurpose Agent are:

• Is nontoxic, non-corrosive, fully biodegradable
• Is an effective firefighting agent for Class A and Class B fires
• Has no blanket to break as with foam
• Can be used through existing equipment via proportioning, eduction, or can be pre-mixed and delivered through a standard fire hose
• Can be pre-mixed and applied using a 2.5-gallon pressurized water extinguisher
  • To fill a 2.5-gallon extinguisher, use nine and one-half (9.5) quarts of water and one (1) pint of F-500
• Utilizes new micelle encapsulator technology to eliminate the combustibility of the fuel leg of the fire tetrahedron. By removing the fuel leg of the fire tetrahedron, F-500 can effectively eliminate the danger created by the spill of Class B liquids.
• Significantly reduces heat and interrupts the free radical chain reaction For flammable material spills, where an ignition source could lead to fire if the fuel is not neutralized, F-500 is a superior spill control agent.

What can F-500 do for me?

• Fire Suppressant
  - F-500 is listed for use on Class A and Class B fires at 1%, 3%, and 6%.
  - It can be used to extinguish Class D metal fires.
   
• Flammable Hydrocarbon Spill Control Agent
  - F-500 can be used to render flammable hydrocarbons nonflammable without the formation of a fragile foam blanket.
   
• Vapor Mitigation Agent
  - F-500 can be used to rapidly lower flammable and noxious vapors to below the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL).
   
• Tank / Pipeline Cleaning
  - F-500 can be used to clean oil well production tanks, pipelines, petroleum storage tanks, and sludge.
   
• Surface Washing
  - While not endorsed or recommended, the US EPA has listed F-500 on the NCP product schedule for use as a surface washing agent for use on oil spills.
   
• Remediation Agent
  - F-500 has been successfully used to clean and remediate areas of ground that have been contaminated with gasoline, diesel fuel, benzene, cyclohexane and heavy oils.

What is "Life Safety" and how can it benefit me?

You will see many "Life Safety" benefits while utilizing F-500 in your operation:

1. Quick Knockdown - 4 to 5 times faster than water
2. Rapid Heat Reduction - At ½%, F-500 has 6 times more cooling than plain water
3. Hazardous Spill Control - Renders flammable liquids nonflammable
4. Vapor Reduction - Reduces explosive vapors on contact
5. Smoke Reduction - Reduces smoke thus increasing visibility and safety for firefighters
