Product information „F-500 Fire-extinguishing additive, 20-litre canister“
The innovative, multifunctional fire-extinguishing additive F-500 EA possesses special properties that enable it to extinguish fires in classes A and B, as well as certain types of fires in classes D and F, and is currently the most effective fire-extinguishing agent for lithium-ion battery fires.
F-500 EA extinguishing agent additive – proven firefighting performance
F-500 EA is an innovative and forward-looking multifunctional fire-extinguishing agent. It has been tested and approved and, in accordance with the Chemicals Act, has no hazardous properties. Thanks to its combined extinguishing properties, it is extremely effective as an active extinguishing agent additive and is ideal for fighting fires involving solid organic combustible materials, polar and non-polar flammable liquids, flammable light metals, burning fats, and burning and reacting lithium-ion batteries.
F-500 EA, as a multifunctional fire-extinguishing additive to water, is suitable for 98 per cent of all fires and, provided the recommended storage conditions are observed, has a shelf life of 15 years.
F-500 EA is already in use for firefighting at companies such as RWE, BMW, Tesla, Liebherr, Stihl, Bosch and many others.
Key benefits of the F-500 EA fire-extinguishing additive
The liquid mixture of various surfactants encapsulates liquid fuel particles, leading to the formation of an emulsion and thereby restricting vapour formation from the flammable liquid to such an extent that no flash point is any longer measurable. Furthermore, it offers a greater cooling effect compared to other water additives, as the evaporation of the mixture of water and F-500 EA begins at just 70 degrees Celsius. Due to its high surface activity, it penetrates deeply into fibrous, granular and dust-like materials – even those with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. F-500 EA reduces the surface tension of water, improves wettability and has a preventative effect that protects against rapid ignition.
Wide range of applications
- Fires involving solid organic combustible materials (Fire Class A)
- Fires involving polar and non-polar flammable liquids (Fire Class B)
- Burning and reacting lithium-ion batteries
- Flammable light metals such as Al-Mg alloys (i.e. in certain areas of fire class D)
- Burning fats (Fire Class F)
Neuruppin fire extinguishers – meeting the highest standards for the protection of people and property
The success story began as early as 1905 with the start of production at the fire extinguisher factory on Lake Neuruppin. For over 100 years, fire extinguishers from Neuruppin have set the standard in preventative fire safety.
The fire safety products are manufactured in Germany in accordance with the strictest European regulations. This guarantees the highest quality. Furthermore, the production process is ISO 9001:2008 certified and is regularly monitored by various testing organisations.
Looking to the future
In the coming years, lithium-ion batteries will become indispensable in all industrial applications and, increasingly, in domestic ones too. However, if used improperly, these batteries can pose a significant potential hazard during manufacture, storage and transport. By purchasing a suitable fire extinguisher, you can protect yourself from the outset against significant financial losses that may arise, for example, from battery fires.
