Learn how Encapsulator Agents function in water and once exiting the nozzle. This is the first step in understanding how Encapsulator Technology works on a deeper level and just how uniquely innovative it is. Watch as Encapsulator Agent molecules form millions of Spherical Micelles, altering water droplets on a chemical molecular level.

NFPA 18A Annex 4.3 

Encapsulator Agent Lithium-ion Battery Testing 

"Water additives based on spherical micelle technology (Encapsulator Agents) conforming to Section 7.7 have been tested extensively by independent third-party testing organizations, including Kiwa, Dekra, Daimler, Dutech, Bosch, Fraunhofer University and TU Clausthal. 

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 exposure to humans."

HCT is a fluorine free company. Your department's health and safety is our top priority. As the fluorinated Firefighting foam crisis continues to negatively impact your department and the communities you serve, the world is anxious for solutions. Fluorine free Encapsulator Technology is the solution. We aim to provide your department with countless benefits that a foam, dry powder and wetting agent cannot.

Watch F-500 Encapsulator Agent fully encapsulate and neutralize a gallon of fuel to be non-ignitable and non-hazardous. This is the NFPA 18A Section 7.7 test that must be passed for an agent to be listed as an Encapsulator Agent.

This video shows a unique, side-by-side comparison of three fire suppression agents applied to lithium-ion battery fires. You can see the effects of dry powder, foam and F-500 Encapsulator Agent (F-500 EA) on these fires. Third party testing points to one conclusion: F-500 EA is the solution!

Listen to Cindy Ell, Fire Fighter Cancer Foundation, Inc. founder, speak on her experience with F-500 Encapsulator Technology. Testing shows that F-500 EA will drastically reduce the concentration of harmful carcinogenic toxins in smoke by up to 98.6%. 

Although protective gear has come a long way in recent years, it's important to understand their limitations. These toxins are absorbed through fabrics and into open pores in your skin. In an IDLH environment, this is especially important as your body is exposed to high temperatures that expand these pores.

Today's E-bikes/scooters can cause a serious threat to lives when stored and charged in multi-storey apartment buildings and workplaces.

Modern E-bikes and scooters are equipped with powerful Lithium-ion batteries that are susceptible to impact and shock damage that can cause result in an intense battery fire which is capable of spreading very quickly as they go into thermal overrun.

Fire Services around the world have highlighted the risk to life that these household products create.
