Innovative Fire Safety Services and Solutions
We deliver an eco-friendly alternative to fluorine-free foam that can handle modern-day combustibles and mitigate the toxic vapors they produce
Fire Safety and Health Are Our Top Priority. According to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network, firefighters have a 9% higher risk of being diagnosed with cancer and a 14% higher risk of dying from cancer than the general United States population. Firefighters are exposed to carcinogens on the fire ground and at the fire station through inhalation, dermal absorption, and ingestion.
Proactive Protection with
F-500 EA®on the Fire Ground
We recommend utilizing F-500 EA® on every fire call for proactive cancer prevention as well as on-scene contamination reduction required by NFPA 1851. Our Encapsulator Specialists can help your department promote a clean cab concept by limiting negative health effects and reducing the accumulation of hydrocarbons on turnout gear. Encapsulator Technology’s effectiveness is documented by the Laval Fire Department and University of Ottawa.
Reactive Protection with F-500 EA® at the Fire Station
Prevent tracking carcinogenic toxins back to the living quarters at your fire station and family home. F-500 EA® has a pH of 7.0 and can be used as a detergent with fire station washing machines. Simply replace your existing detergent with an agent capable of encapsulating benzo(a)pyrene, terphenyls, fluorene derivatives, indene derivatives, phthalates, 1,4 dioxane, cyclohexanols, and higher weight polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, ensuring the highest level of protection and meeting all necessary fire safety regulations.
The Next Generation of Hazard
Mitigation for Firefighters and Industry Leaders
Encapsulator Agents are not firefighting foams. While foams work on a mechanical level, Encapsulator Agents work on a molecular level, changing the composition of a water droplet with the introduction of spherical micelles. There are several types of fire suppression systems available today, but systems powered by F-500 EA® ensure a comprehensive approach that targets multi-class hazards.
Encapsulator Agents are an excellent choice for a variety of fires that cannot be fought effectively with foam or water. This includes three-dimensional fires, flowing fuel fires, and fires within an energized environment. These hazards require a specialized approach. That’s where Encapsulator Agents comes in. An Encapsulator Agent works on all four legs of the fire tetrahedron simultaneously.

Fight Firefighter Cancer
Risk Starting at the Nozzle
Unlike traditional fire sprinkler systems, F-500 EA® is scientifically proven to reduce the concentration of carcinogens in smoke and soot. This proactive approach is part of a necessary shift in thinking to protect first responders and ensure safer working conditions for future generations.
Instantly Improve a
Structure’s IDLH Environment
A fully involved structure fire can reach 2,000°F as it produces heavy smoke and nears flashover. F-500 EA® delivers quick response, rapidly reducing ambient temperatures to 100°F-150°F and interrupting the chemical reaction. This allows firefighters to stand up, navigate tight spaces, and find trapped civilians faster.
Arrive Prepared for
Any Roadside Emergency
Automotive manufacturers are utilizing more plastics, lightweight combustible metals, and lithium-ion battery technology to improve performance and reduce emissions. F-500 EA® is versatile enough to mitigate multi-class and three-dimensional flowing fuel fire hazards.
Instantly Improve a
Structure’s IDLH Prevent Wildfire Spread and Protect WUI Communities
As the effects of climate change continue to intensify and lengthen wildfire season, crews on the front line are faced with growing challenges. F-500 EA® has a proven history of containing wildland fires, preventing re-ignition, and reducing firefighters’ exposure to toxic fumes.
