Fire Cap Plus: Best Value in Fire Suppression
Developed by firefighters for firefighters
Fire Cap Plus is an environmentally friendly and biodegradable wetting agent that extinguishes fires rapidly and helps eliminate flashback. When mixed properly with water, Fire Cap Plus reduces the surface tension of water which then expands the wetted surface area and promotes deeper penetration into the seat of the fire. Besides putting out the fire, the incidence of heat, smoke, and vapors is significantly reduced.
As a spill stabilizing agent, Fire Cap Plus acts as an emulsifier that separates the chemical make-up of a contaminant and then renders it non-volatile. In the process, the flammable vapors of a contaminant are reduced, which limits risk to firefighters or HAZMAT personnel. Fire Cap Plus is non-toxic, non-hazardous, biodegradable, non-corrosive and is effective against all classes of fires except live electrical.
Water is Not Free
Water carries with it a number of related costs. Procuring, storing, pumping, transporting, and ultimately disbursing water all require special equipment. By simply reducing usage, the life of the equipment is extended which can mean thousands of dollars saved. In municipalities where the water supply is scarce, the importance of getting the most out of every gallon can’t be overstated.
Plain Water vs. Fire Cap Plus Eco-Friendly Safety
Everything that burns has a pourous surface. Because water has a high surface tension, plain water has a hard time soaking into some fuel sources. Fire Cap Plus is a wetting agent that lowers the surface tension of water. When a mixture of water and Fire Cap Plus is applied to these "hard to penetrate" fuel sources, the mixture is quickly absorbed, helping to reach the seat of the fire faster. Because the water and Fire Cap Plus are actively penetrating the fuel rather than just sitting on top, the chances of a rekindle are minimized. The diagrams below demonstrate the penetrating power of Fire Cap Plus.
Eco-Friendly Safety
Fire Cap Plus uses the latest chemicals that are bio-degradable, non-toxic, and non-corrosive. We care for the environment and the firefighters who protect it. Fire Cap Plus contains NO PFAS.
Only One Product Needed
Fire Cap Plus is both a Class"A" product and a Class "B" product all in one. This eliminates the need to carry multiple products with you.

Water Without Fire Cap Plus
High surface tension of water causes a bridging action over the pores of the material thereby restricting its ability to spread and penetrate. |
Water Enhanced with Fire Cap Plus
Fire Cap Plus wetting agent makes water droplets smaller and reduces the surface tension which expands the surface area. Fire Cap Plus also facilitates deeper penetration into the seat of the fire. |
