With foams, you need ARFF to extinguish nonpolar, Class B fires and you need the more expensive AR-AFFF to extinguish polar, Class B fires, like the ethanol-blended fuels cars are using across the country. With F-500 Encapsulator Agent, it doesn’t matter what type...

Last week, we shared a video showing the new TKO Nozzle (Turbo Knockdown and Overhaul) extinguishing a car fire using only a few ounces of F-500 Encapsulator Agent in about ten seconds. Think about how you could use this nozzle for rapid deployment using a 1 ½” hand...

Watch this video and you’ll just have to say, “I wish everything I own worked as well as F-500 Encapsulator Agent at extinguishing fires.” Faster extinguishment means less exposure to carcinogens, less water and agent used, less drafting, less diking, reduced fatigue,...

But you mostly use water, which saves a lot of money, right? Not so fast. Even using F-500 EA at ½ % on Class A fires can save money. Why? Knockdown is incredibly fast with F-500 EA, so there is less property damage, less water used, fewer calls for additional...

You can easily reduce toxins in smoke by applying 1-3% F-500 Encapsulator Agent in the water stream. This reduces the carcinogens everyone at the fire scene is exposed to. Independent tests show toxins are reduced 98.6% and smoke is reduced 97%. Plus, the scalding...

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...
