What is F-500 ?

F-500 F-500 is a multi-purpose Class A & B fire suppression and flammable liquid spill control agent. F-500 is listed on the US EPA NCP product schedule.{National Contingency Plan} F-500 emerging technology is classified under a new NFPA standard currently being developed. – Water Additives for Fire Suppression and vapor Mitigation

Paving the Road to a New Standard Foam - NFPA 11 (B) & NFPA 1151 (A) – Reduction of Surface Tension (18 dyne/cm2) Wetting Time (Spreading Coefficient) – Formation and Maintenance of a Blanket Expansion Ratio Quarter Life Drain Time NFPA 11 - Foam Increased penetration F - 500 "Micelle Encapsulator Technology" – Reduction of Surface Tension ( 33 dyne/cm2) Increased wetted surface area NFPA 18 - Wetting Agent (Understanding Fire Suppression Mechanics) Wetting Agent - NFPA 18

Paving the Road to a New Standard (Understanding Fire Suppression Mechanics) – Reduction of Surface Tension ( 25 dyne/cm2) Increased wetted surface Increased penetration – Formation and Maintenance of Micelles Micelle – “Chemical Cocoons” Liquid and Vapor Phases – Free Radical Chain Reaction Interruption – Rapid Heat Reduction NFPA 11 - Foam F-500 - Water Additive - NFPA “New” F - 500 "Micelle Encapsulator Technology" – Reduction of Surface Tension (18 dyne/cm2) Wetting Time (Spreading Coefficient) – Formation and Maintenance of a Blanket Expansion Ratio Quarter-Life Drain Time NFPA 18 - Wetting Agent Foam - NFPA 11 (B) & NFPA 1151 (A)

Historical Development of Water Additives Technical Committee 1997 - Foam Technical Committee oversaw both – NFPA 11 – Foam – NFPA 18 – Wetting Agents 1997-1998 - HCT Solicited NFPA Standards Council that a new group of agents exist whose fire suppression mechanics are different and do not fall into either category 1999 - NFPA Standards Council formed new Technical Committee – Water Additives for Fire Control and Vapor Mitigation

F-500 Water Additive Characteristics F-500 is not a Foam !!! F-500 Does not rely of the formation and maintenance of a foam blanket Superior Heat Reduction (******) Superior Penetration Capabilities Superior Smoke Reduction Ideal agent for 3-dimensional type applications

F-500 Applications Fire Extinguishment – Class A Fires – Class B Fires Polar Solvents Non-Polar Solvents Fire Extinguishers Surface Washing, Soil Washing / Bio Remediation Enhancement Hazardous Spill Control Vapor Suppression

F-500 Class A Fire - Applications Wood / Paper Cotton Hay / Straw / Grain Coal Coconut Fiberglass Plastics (PVC, HDPE, Etc.) Rubber Tires

F-500 Class B Fire - Applications Non-Polar Solvents (Hydrocarbons) – Gasoline / Diesel – Jet A / JP4 / JP5 / JP8 – Crude / Oils Polar Solvents – Isopropyl Alcohol – Methanol – Methyl Ethyl Ketone – MTBE Rubber Tires

Chemistry of Fire Fire Tetrahedron: – Oxygen – Fuel – Heat – Chemical Chain Reaction (Free Radical) Fire Suppression: – Elimination of one or more legs of the fire tetrahedron

Fire Suppression Mechanics for Class A and B Fires Foam – – Surface Tension Reduction Formation and Maintenance of a Blanket Oxygen F-500 – – – Surface Tension Reduction Formation and Maintenance of Micelles Interrupt Free Radical Chain Reaction Fuel Heat Free Radical F-500 works simultaneously on three legs of the fire tetrahedron

F-500 Fire Suppression Mechanics Surface Tension Reduction – Reduce from 72 dynes/cm to less than 33 dynes/cm – Increases wetted surface area and penetration – Acts as a carrier of the F-500 molecules that form micelles Micelle Formation and Maintenance Interruption of Chemical Chain Reaction

High Surface Tension Illustration Example of High Surface Tension – Waxed Car – The water on the right has beaded up due to the high surface tension of the water molecule. Conversely, F-500 reduces the surface tension

F-500 Surface Tension Reduction Top is 5 mls of plain water – Plain water covers 27.5 (1/4” squares) Bottom is 5 mls of water with 3% F-500 – F-500 treated water covers 298 (1/4” squares) Represents over a 1000% increase in the wetted surface area

F-500 Extinguishment Power If: – One (1) gallon of plain water equals one (1) fire extinguishment unit Then: – One (1) gallon of water with F-500 equals twenty (20) to thirty (30) fire extinguishment units Why twenty (20) to thirty (30) ?

Application to a Fire Materials have pores like the pores in your skin – – – – – Coal Wood Cotton Paper Steel In addition to 10 times the wetted surface area F-500’s reduced surface tension allows penetration into the pores One contributing factor to rapid reduction of heat

Excerpt - NFPA; Section 18 Both experience and tests have indicated that the addition of a proper wetting agent to water will, when properly applied, increase the extinguishing efficiency of that water by reducing the quantity of water needed and the amount of time needed to effectively fight the fire. Certain types of fires, such as those in baled cotton, stacked hay, some rubber compounds, and some flammable liquids, that do no ordinarily respond to treatment with water might be extinguished when a proper wetting agent is used. This property can be attributed to an increase in the penetrating, spreading, and emulsifying powers of water due to factors such as a lowering of the surface tension. As a result, the treated water acquires the ability to penetrate into small openings and recesses that water would flow over by the simple bridging action of the surface film.

F-500 Fire Suppression Mechanics Surface Tension Reduction Micelle Formation and Maintenance – Amphipathic Molecule – F-500 molecules align to form a “chemical cocoon” around hydrocarbon molecules Interruption of Free Radical Chain Reaction

F-500 Technology Micelle Formation and Maintenance F-500 is an Amphipathic molecule – Large molecule with a polar end and a non-polar end with sufficient distance between so that each end acts independently Polar end (hydrophilic - “loves water”) – Non-polar end (hydrophobic - “fears/hates water”) – Soluble, it dissolves in water Acts like a heat seeking missile - seeks out molecules other than water (such as hydrocarbon) F-500 molecules align to form a “chemical cocoon” around the hydrocarbon molecules
