Innovative Solutions For Today's Fire Service
​Firefighters are in need of an eco-friendly alternative to fluorine-free foam that can handle modern day combustibles and mitigate the toxic vapors they produce


YOUR DEPARTMENT'S HEALTH
​AND SAFETY IS OUR TOP PRIORITY

According to the Firefighter Cancer Support Network (USA), 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.

In New Zealand, Worksafe's Carcinogens Survey 2021 indicates emergency workers were on average exposed to more than 7 carcinogens.

Proactive Protection and Decon
with F-500 EA® on the Fire Ground

HCT recommend utilizing F-500 EA® on every fire call for proactive cancer prevention as well as on-scene contamination reduction (required in USA by NFPA 1851). 

F-500 EA® can help your department promote a clean cab concept by limiting negative health effects and reducing the accumulation of hydrocarbons on turnout gear. Our Encapsulator Technology’s effectiveness is documented by both Laval Fire Department and University of Ottawa.

Reactive Protection and Laundering
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 extractors. 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.

Scientific Report

Reduce Your Risk With
​F-500 EA On Every Call

Fight Firefighter Cancer
Risk Starting at the Nozzle

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 our brothers and sisters in the fire service and ensure safer working conditions for future generations.

Instantly Improve a
Structure’s IDLH Environment

A fully involved structure fire can reach 1,100°C as it produces heavy smoke and nears flashover. F-500 EA® can rapidly reduce ambient temperatures to 38°C-65°C and interrupt the free radical chain reaction, allowing firefighters to stand up, navigate tight spaces, and find trapped persons 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.

Prevent Wildfire Spread
and Protect 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 wildland firefighters’ exposure to toxic fumes.
