Perimeter Solutions announced the introduction of a model new line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates for common 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 focus 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 concentrate is made with no siloxanes and is a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and components that delivers glorious foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties using contemporary, sea or brackish water. เกจวัดแรงดันถังแก๊ส -free foams are viscous and infrequently show viscosity improve when involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very stable foams whereas keeping 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 variety of worldwide certifications, together with EN-1568-1/2/3/4:2018, LASTFIRE, ICAO B and International Maritime Organization.

This novel know-how allows SOLBERG VERSAGARD to carry out equally to fluorinated merchandise. It may be used with low-expansion foam gear (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge units to battle fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. It is absolutely suitable and easily proportioned with commonplace firefighting tools, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fire truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced strain techniques and more.
In addition to its excellent foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has excellent wetting capacity, making it additionally an effective tool for the extinguishment of Class A gasoline fires.
Multiple certifications reveal effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for various areas and applications. The firefighting foam focus:
Has achieved the maximum score and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part three & four on all fuels with freshwater and seawater – IA/IA – IA/IA
Passes and is licensed to European Standard EN-1568:2018 half 1 & 2 – to be used 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 three nozzles (semi, asp, system)
Has achieved ICAO Level B
The firm is pursuing further certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is on the market instantly on a global basis. Perimeter Solutions shall be discussing the brand new foam technology at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
