A fire department in Arizona asked us to demonstrate F-500 Encapsulator Agent on a creosote railroad tie fire. The creosote adds a Class B component to a Class A fire, so water would have trouble extinguishing this fire. And foam is not recommended for...

F-500 Encapsulator Agent turns thick, black smoke into a warm, white vapor, reducing cancer-causing toxins. This should be a major concern to every firefighter. By adding F-500 EA in the water stream, there is a 98.6% Reduction in Toxins and a 97% Reduction in Smoke....

Never apply water or foam to Class D fires, but if you add just 3% F-500 Encapsulator Agent to the water, you change the way the droplets react with heat. A plain water drop inefficiently removes heat by steam conversion. F-500 EA droplets efficiently absorb the heat...
