เกจ์อาร์กอนsumo announced the introduction of a new line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates for common 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 concentrate 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. เกจวัดแรงกด and non-persistent concentrate 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 utilizing recent, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and infrequently present viscosity improve when in touch with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very steady foams while keeping an analogous viscosity to conventional AR-AFFF foams. This significantly improves storage, dealing with 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.
According to Javier Castro, General Manager for Perimeter Solutions Fire Safety Group, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is an instance of the continuing expertise innovation by the corporate within the space of fluorine-free foams. ‘At Perimeter Solutions, we’re engaged in an intensive growth programme for fluorine-free know-how that meets the highest stage of fire-suppression necessities,’ he said. ‘In addition to the excellent firefighting performance, one of many key advances of SOLBERG VERSAGARD is its constant viscosity when in touch with water, which is vastly completely different from many other fluorine-free foams available on the market. This can have a dramatic impact on handling and use charges in firefighting operations.’ he mentioned.
A broad range of use purposes
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate steady 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 equipment (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge devices to struggle fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent gas fires. It is totally suitable and easily proportioned with normal firefighting tools, together with in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fire truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced stress techniques and extra.
In addition to its excellent foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has glorious wetting capacity, making it also an effective tool for the extinguishment of Class A gas fires.
Multiple certifications demonstrate effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for varied regions and purposes. The firefighting foam focus:
Has achieved the maximum rating and is licensed 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 – for use with medium- and high-expansion foam discharge gadgets
