Perimeter Solutions introduced the introduction of a new line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates for general purpose use. Called SOLBERG VERSAGARD, the fluorine-free line debuts with SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 multipurpose 3×3 fluorine-free foam concentrate is an alcohol resistant, state-of-the-art pseudoplastic foam technology designed for extinguishing and securing both Class B (hydrocarbon and polar solvent liquid fuel) and deep-seated Class A fires. This biodegradable and non-persistent focus is made with no siloxanes and is a mixture of hydrocarbon surfactants and components that delivers excellent foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties using fresh, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and sometimes show viscosity enhance when involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very stable foams whereas preserving an identical viscosity to conventional AR-AFFF foams. This considerably improves storage, dealing with and long-term stability. SOLBERG VERSAGARD enters the market with a rising number of international certifications, together with EN-1568-1/2/3/4:2018, LASTFIRE, ICAO B and International Maritime Organization.
According to Javier Castro, General Manager for Perimeter Solutions Fire Safety Group, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is an instance of the continuing know-how innovation by the company within the space of fluorine-free foams. ‘At Perimeter Solutions, we’re engaged in an intensive improvement programme for fluorine-free know-how that meets the highest stage of fire-suppression necessities,’ he stated. ‘In addition to the wonderful firefighting performance, one of the key advances of SOLBERG VERSAGARD is its consistent viscosity when in touch with water, which is vastly totally different from many different fluorine-free foams in the marketplace. This can have a dramatic effect on handling and use rates in firefighting operations.’ he said.
A broad vary of use functions
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate secure foams with excessive fluidity and slow drainage. This novel know-how permits SOLBERG VERSAGARD to carry out similarly to fluorinated merchandise. It could also be used with low-expansion foam tools (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge units to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. It is absolutely appropriate and simply proportioned with commonplace firefighting tools, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, hearth truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced strain methods and extra.
In addition to its excellent foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has excellent wetting capacity, making it additionally an efficient device for the extinguishment of Class A gasoline fires.
Multiple certifications show effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for varied areas and applications. The firefighting foam focus:
Has achieved the utmost score and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 half three & 4 on all fuels with freshwater and seawater – IA/IA – IA/IA
Passes and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part 1 & 2 – for use with medium- and high-expansion foam discharge devices
Has achieved International Maritime Organization certification MSC.1/Circ. 1312
Has been LASTFIRE batch-certified as GOOD/GOOD/GOOD with 3 nozzles (semi, asp, system)
Has achieved ICAO Level B
The firm is pursuing additional certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is out there immediately on a world foundation. เกจวัดแรงดันแบบแห้ง shall be discussing the new foam know-how at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
