Perimeter Solutions introduced the introduction of a brand new line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates for general function 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 focus is made with no siloxanes and is a mixture of hydrocarbon surfactants and components that delivers wonderful foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties utilizing fresh, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and sometimes present viscosity enhance when in touch with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very secure foams whereas keeping an identical viscosity to conventional AR-AFFF foams. This significantly improves storage, handling and long-term stability. SOLBERG VERSAGARD enters the market with a growing number of worldwide certifications, including EN-1568-1/2/3/4:2018, LASTFIRE, ICAO B and International Maritime Organization.

This can have a dramatic effect on dealing with and use rates in firefighting operations.’ he said.
A broad vary of use purposes
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate steady foams with high fluidity and gradual drainage. เกจวัดแรงดันถังลม permits SOLBERG VERSAGARD to perform similarly to fluorinated merchandise. It may be used with low-expansion foam equipment (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge gadgets to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent gasoline fires. It is totally compatible and easily proportioned with normal firefighting tools, together with in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, hearth truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced strain systems and more.
In addition to its glorious foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has glorious wetting capacity, making it additionally an efficient software for the extinguishment of Class A gas fires.
Multiple certifications reveal effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for numerous regions and applications. The firefighting foam concentrate:
Has achieved the maximum score and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part 3 & 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 – for use 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 company is pursuing further certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is available immediately on a worldwide basis. Perimeter Solutions might be discussing the model new foam technology at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
