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 concentrate is an alcohol resistant, state-of-the-art pseudoplastic foam expertise 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 mix of hydrocarbon surfactants and components that delivers excellent foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties utilizing contemporary, sea or brackish water. เกจวัดแรงดันน้ำ -free foams are viscous and infrequently show viscosity increase when involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very secure foams whereas keeping an identical 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 dealing with and use rates in firefighting operations.’ he said.
A broad range of use functions
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate secure foams with excessive fluidity and slow drainage. This novel technology allows SOLBERG VERSAGARD to carry out similarly to fluorinated products. It may be used with low-expansion foam tools (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 totally appropriate and simply proportioned with normal firefighting tools, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fireplace truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced strain techniques and extra.
In addition to its wonderful foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has wonderful wetting ability, making it also an efficient software for the extinguishment of Class A gas fires.
Multiple certifications reveal effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad vary of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for varied areas and functions. The firefighting foam concentrate:
Has achieved the maximum ranking and is licensed to European Standard EN-1568:2018 half 3 & 4 on all fuels with freshwater and seawater – IA/IA – IA/IA
Passes and is licensed to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part 1 & 2 – for use with medium- and high-expansion foam discharge units
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 further certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is out there immediately on a worldwide foundation. Perimeter Solutions shall be discussing the new foam know-how at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
