Perimeter Solutions announced the introduction of a brand 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 know-how designed for extinguishing and securing both Class B (hydrocarbon and polar solvent liquid fuel) and deep-seated Class A fires. เกจไนโตรเจนsumo and non-persistent concentrate is made with no siloxanes and is a mix of hydrocarbon surfactants and components that delivers excellent foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties using recent, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and sometimes present viscosity increase when in contact with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very steady foams whereas keeping an analogous viscosity to conventional AR-AFFF foams. This considerably improves storage, handling and long-term stability. SOLBERG VERSAGARD enters the market with a growing variety of international certifications, together with EN-1568-1/2/3/4:2018, LASTFIRE, ICAO B and International Maritime Organization.

This can have a dramatic effect on handling and use rates in firefighting operations.’ he stated.
A broad range of use functions
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate secure foams with excessive fluidity and gradual drainage. This novel know-how permits SOLBERG VERSAGARD to perform equally to fluorinated products. It may be used with low-expansion foam gear (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge gadgets to struggle fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. It is fully suitable and simply proportioned with normal firefighting equipment, together with in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fire truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced stress systems and extra.
In addition to its glorious foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has excellent wetting ability, making it additionally an effective software 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 numerous regions and applications. The firefighting foam focus:
Has achieved the maximum rating and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part 3 & 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 – to be used with medium- and high-expansion foam discharge gadgets
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 additional certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is available instantly on a global foundation. Perimeter Solutions will be discussing the new foam technology on the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
