F-500 EA makes handling today’s high-hazard incidents safer, faster and easier than ever before. While other agents may aid in extinguishing a specific class of fire, F-500 EA is a powerful multi-class preventative, protector and mitigating agent. F-500 EA safely extinguishes Class A, B, C (energized environment), D, and lithium-ion battery fires.
FIREFIGHTING
F-500 EA keeps your people, assets and property safer and healthier while reducing damage.
SAFETY F-500 EA eliminates scalding steam and reduces smoke by 97%, improving visibility. Additionally, F-500 EA’s rapid knockdown means up to 20x less time spent in IDLH environments.
EFFICIENCY F-500 EA’s rapid knockdown capabilities translate to less time, less water, less runoff and less stress on personnel.
HEALTH F-500 EA is 100% fluorine-free, noncorrosive and reduces cancer-causing toxins by over 98%, drastically reducing health risks and improving air quality.
Application: Lithium Battery Fires
Lithium-ion batteries contain high energy densities and diverse materials. As such, Li-ion battery fire is multi-class, will emit toxic gasses & flammable electrolytes, and is significantly harder to put out than other type of fires.
F-500 EA encapsulates the flammable electrolytes, rendering them non-flammable.
F-500 EA droplets rapidly reduce heat, stopping thermal runaway.
F-500 EA reduces toxic vapors, including fluoride gasses.
F-500 EA rapidly encapsulates Class B fuel spills, tanking LELs and rendering flammable spills non-ignitable.
SAFETY F-500 EA provides complete fuel neutralization, compared to Foam, which offers a temporary blanket. F-500 EA is 100% fluorine free, while toxic PFAS/PFOA chemicals in foam continue to contaminate our soil, bodies of water and poison aquatic life.
EFFECIENCY F-500 EA creates a safe scene within as little as 30 seconds, producing very little runoff, which translates to minimal, if any, cleanup and property damage. AFFF foam must be applied for 15 minutes, then re-applied, which amounts to hefty cleanup costs.
Fuels are highly combustible and have significant risk of explosion. This hazard is ever-present in the petrochemical industry, i.e. fuel spills, overturned tank trucks, fuel tank degassing & cleaning and pipeline devaporization.
F-500 EA reduces surface tension by saturating wet surface areas and increase penetration into fuel pores.
F-500 EA rapidly and permanently cools the fire, from 650°C to 53°C in seconds and allowing burnback resistance.
F-500 EA encapsulates hydrocarbon liquids & vapors, and renders materials non-flammable.
F-500 VS AFFF FORMS
F-500 EA is a superior replacement for AFFF Foams against fuel fires.
