You may think water does a great job of cooling a fire, but water does not cool efficiently and creates a lot of dangerous steam. Foams are designed to form a blanket to separate the fuel from the oxygen, but foam traps in the heat, often resulting in reignition....

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...

We’ve told you how effective F-500 Encapsulator Agent is on Class A, Class B (polar and nonpolar), Class D and three-dimensional fires. So, doesn’t it make a lot of sense to use a 2.5 gallon F-500 EA Fire Extinguisher for smaller fires? This extinguisher has...
