Report Detail:

F 500 Data

F-500 is a Micelle Encapsulator Fire Suppression Agent. F-500 is a multi-purpose agent used worldwide for various applications. The fire suppression mechanics and technology utilized by F-500 are vastly different than conventional foam. F-500 forms and maintains micelles, "chemical cocoons," around the hydrocarbon fuel neutralizing the fuel leg of the fire tetrahedron rather than forming a blanket depriving the fire of oxygen.

For fire suppression, F-500 is UL listed for Class A and Class B fires at 1%, 3% and 6%. Typically, 1% is used for Class A fires, with 3% and 6% used for Class B fires. For Class D fires a more concentrated solution is required.
