Our Story

After working with structural and wildland fires firsthand, we ventured to learn more about new encapsulator technology and discovered the relative unfamiliarity of its benefits. We sought to become a distributor for this product locally to help improve the life and safety of firefighters.

Our mission is to get more encapsulator agents and fire suppression systems in place for municipal fire departments and have them become an integral part of Alberta’s emergency and environmental response plan.

“F-500 EA is listed on the National Contingency Plan Product Schedule of the US Environmental Protection Agency as a surface washing agent. ”

Environmentally Friendly

While toxic chemicals found in foam agents continue to contaminate our soil and water, poisoning wildlife, F-500 EA is 100% fluorine free, 100% biodegradable, and non-toxic. Listed by the EPA as a “surface washing agent”, once a spill has been encapsulated it can be cleaned up easily as a nonflammable material or allowed to evaporate as local regulations permit. Environment Canada reported that F-500 was only the second chemical substance to be approved according to the guidelines in CEPA in 1999.

Remove the guesswork out of any emergency

A powerful preventative measure to have in place, F-500 EA can save you both time and money. When used in place of a foam, F-500 EA can negate flammable spills and suppress multiple class fires:
Reduce your overhead costs and protect your assets
Type of FireFire Suppression Agent Required
Class AF-500 Encapsulator AgentClass A Foam
Class B – GasolineAFFFF Foam
Class B – EthanolAR-AFFF Foam
Class C*Powder; CO2; not foam
Class DPowder; not foam
*Class C fires require both training and SOP’s. F-500 EA has been tested and approved only for transformer fires energized to 345 KV, streaming from 125 feet and lithium-ion hybrid and electric car fires.

Testing shows that a 1% solution of F-500 EA can reduce the amount of water needed to extinguish a fire by 60%.
