Perimeter Solutions introduced 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. This biodegradable and non-persistent concentrate is made with no siloxanes and is a mixture of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives that delivers glorious foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties using recent, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and sometimes present viscosity enhance when in touch with water. เกจวัดco2 -100 creates very secure foams whereas keeping an analogous viscosity to traditional AR-AFFF foams. This considerably improves storage, dealing with and long-term stability.

It is totally suitable and easily proportioned with standard firefighting equipment, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, hearth truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced pressure techniques and extra.
In addition to its glorious foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has glorious wetting capability, making it additionally an efficient tool for the extinguishment of Class A gasoline fires.
Multiple certifications reveal effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad vary of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for numerous areas and functions. The firefighting foam concentrate:
Has achieved the maximum score and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part 3 & 4 on all fuels with freshwater and seawater – IA/IA – IA/IA
Passes and is licensed 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 firm is pursuing further certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is out there instantly on a world foundation. Perimeter Solutions might be discussing the new foam know-how at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
