Perimeter Solutions announced 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 know-how designed for extinguishing and securing each 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 combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives that delivers wonderful 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 involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very steady foams whereas keeping a similar viscosity to traditional AR-AFFF foams. This significantly improves storage, dealing with and long-term stability. SOLBERG VERSAGARD enters the market with a growing variety of worldwide 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 said.
A broad range of use applications
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate secure foams with high fluidity and gradual drainage. This novel know-how permits SOLBERG VERSAGARD to carry out equally to fluorinated products. เกจ์วัดแก๊สหุงต้ม could also be used with low-expansion foam tools (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge devices to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. It is absolutely appropriate and simply proportioned with normal firefighting tools, together with in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fireplace truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced stress methods and more.
In addition to its glorious foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has excellent wetting ability, making it additionally an effective device for the extinguishment of Class A fuel fires.
Multiple certifications show effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad vary of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for varied areas and purposes. The firefighting foam focus:
Has achieved the utmost ranking and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part three & 4 on all fuels with freshwater and seawater – IA/IA – IA/IA
Passes and is certified 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 3 nozzles (semi, asp, system)
Has achieved ICAO Level B
The company is pursuing extra certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is on the market immediately on a worldwide basis. Perimeter Solutions might be discussing the new foam know-how at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
