Perimeter Solutions announced the introduction of a new line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates for general 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 focus 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 concentrate is made with no siloxanes and is a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives that delivers glorious foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties utilizing fresh, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and often present viscosity increase when involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very stable foams whereas keeping an analogous viscosity to conventional AR-AFFF foams. เกจวัดแรงดันถังออกซิเจน improves storage, dealing with and long-term stability. SOLBERG VERSAGARD enters the market with a rising 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 example of the continuing technology innovation by the corporate in the area of fluorine-free foams. ‘At Perimeter Solutions, we’re engaged in an intensive improvement programme for fluorine-free technology that meets the very best stage of fire-suppression necessities,’ he mentioned. ‘In addition to the wonderful firefighting performance, one of the key advances of SOLBERG VERSAGARD is its constant viscosity when in contact with water, which is vastly completely different from many other fluorine-free foams on the market. This can have a dramatic effect on dealing with and use rates in firefighting operations.’ he mentioned.
A broad range of use applications
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate steady foams with high fluidity and slow drainage. This novel technology allows 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 units to battle fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent gas fires. It is absolutely appropriate and simply proportioned with commonplace firefighting equipment, together with 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 excellent wetting ability, making it also an effective tool for the extinguishment of Class A fuel fires.
Multiple certifications reveal effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for various areas and functions. The firefighting foam concentrate:
Has achieved the utmost score and is licensed to European Standard EN-1568:2018 part three & 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 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 company is pursuing additional certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is out there immediately on a worldwide foundation. Perimeter Solutions shall be discussing the brand new foam technology on the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
