Encapsulator Agents are the perfect solution for a wide variety of fire hazards, including three-dimensional fires and energized environments that require a specialized fire suppression approach. F-500 Encapsulator Agent Suppression System works on all four legs of the fire tetrahedron simultaneously, ensuring that business owners and fire service professionals have a reliable fire suppressant.
Materials like flammable metals, Lithium Ion batteries, and synthetic fabrics have become commonplace in the home, at work, and in industrial facilities, challenging traditional fire suppression and detection systems. F-500 Encapsulator Agent, our flagship fire suppression agent, offers unparalleled features that give your team the ability to safely mitigate these difficult-to-extinguish fire hazards.
For those concerned about environmental compliance, F-500 EA® does not contain any fluorinated active ingredients reportable under the Superfund Amendments, Re-authorization Act (SARA) Title III, Section 313, or Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation Liability Act (CERCLA). It can be discarded as a non-hazardous waste under RCRA CFR261.
This section covers the test procedures to evaluate the ability of a water additive solution to form and maintain stable spherical micelles capable of encapsulating combustible and flammable liquids (polar and non-polar), rendering the flammable liquids nonflammable, nonignitable and nonexplosive and maintaining that encapsulation in the presence of high heat over an extended period.
Beginning as a singular molecule with a polar head and non-polar tail, the addition of F-500 EA® concentrate is designed to enhance efficiency and expand your fire suppression capabilities. F-500 EA® is compatible with leading sprinkler head systems and deluge systems
Encapsulator Agents (Sec. 7.7) have been tested extensively by third-party testing organizations. This testing has been controlled, scientific and highly instrumented, documenting fire suppression, control and elimination of thermal runaway and encapsulation of both flammable electrolyte and other explosive off-gases, rendering them nonexplosive. Encapsulator Technology reduces the toxicity of HF gas.
At FIRETECH-HCT, we are dedicated to manufacturing and delivering world-class fixed fire suppression systems and equipment. Our focus is on providing customised solutions tailored to the specific needs of various applications such as BESS/ESS, Battery/Cell manufacturing Units, Cell/Battery Storage Areas, Testing Areas, Service areas, and more. Our systems are designed to address the hazards effectively while considering operational feasibility.
At FIRETECH-HCT, we are committed to providing reliable and effective fixed fire suppression solutions to safeguard your operations and assets from battery fire hazards.
Safety should always be the top priority in any battery application environment. The focus and efforts should consistently be directed towards creating a secure atmosphere in and around battery application areas to prevent any fire incidents related to batteries.
However, despite best efforts, accidents can still occur. Being prepared and well-equipped to contain and mitigate the risks due to fires in lithium-ion batteries is essential. That’s where FIRETECH-HCT comes in, providing you with the perfect solution to combat and contain battery fires in case of emergencies, ensuring that timely action can mitigate larger risks and losses.
We have developed the handheld portable device ‘COMBATOR,’ designed as an extinguisher containing F-500 Encapsulator agent, to combat battery fires immediately after they occur. The COMBATOR portable extinguishers come in two variants with different fire ratings: 6 litres and 9 litres capacity. For larger applications requiring higher fire ratings, the portable solution can be customised for capacities up to 50 litres. COMBATOR has proven to be highly effective and handy in and around areas of battery applications, enabling users to immediately extinguish battery fires in case of any incident.
Applications such as public, private, and semi-public charging stations, EV showrooms, garages, cell testing and storage areas, in-house battery appliances, etc., require an immediate response in case of any fire incident. COMBATOR provides a great shield with its timely and appropriate use, limiting the propagation of larger fire risks.
Comprehensive testing was conducted on lithium-ion batteries for fire hazards at a test facility in IIT Gandhinagar, witnessed and approved by third-party agencies such as Bureau Veritas, IR Class, etc. This testing has proven the effectiveness of the Spherical Micelle Technology-based COMBATOR in extinguishing lithium-ion battery fires.
The COMBATOR models deliver superior fire protection for a range of lithium-ion battery applications, from mobile phones to electric vehicles.

F-500 EA swiftly suppresses fires, rapidly halting their spread to prevent further damage and ensure swift containment.
Its advanced formulation rapidly dissipates heat upon application, swiftly lowering temperatures to prevent re-ignition and minimize the risk of secondary fires.
F-500 EA’s unique properties effectively inhibit re-ignition, providing lasting protection by preventing residual heat from sparking renewed flames, and ensuring sustained safety even after the initial suppression.
