Perimeter Solutions announced the introduction of a model new line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates for basic objective 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 expertise 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 components that delivers excellent foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties utilizing contemporary, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and infrequently show viscosity increase when involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very stable foams while preserving an analogous viscosity to conventional AR-AFFF foams. This considerably improves storage, dealing with and long-term stability. SOLBERG VERSAGARD enters the market with a growing variety of worldwide certifications, including EN-1568-1/2/3/4:2018, LASTFIRE, ICAO B and International Maritime Organization.

This can have a dramatic impact 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 excessive fluidity and slow drainage. This novel expertise allows SOLBERG VERSAGARD to carry out equally to fluorinated products. It could also be used with low-expansion foam tools (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge gadgets to struggle fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent gas fires. It is totally compatible and easily proportioned with standard firefighting tools, together with in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fireplace truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced pressure techniques and more.
In addition to its glorious foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has glorious wetting capability, making it also an effective device for the extinguishment of Class A fuel fires.
Multiple certifications demonstrate effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for various regions and functions. The firefighting foam concentrate:
Has achieved the maximum ranking and is licensed 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 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 instantly on a global basis. Perimeter Solutions might be discussing the new foam know-how on the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
