Perimeter Solutions announced the introduction of a model 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. pressure gauge หลักการ ทํา งาน -100 multipurpose 3×3 fluorine-free foam concentrate is an alcohol resistant, state-of-the-art pseudoplastic foam technology 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 mix of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives that delivers excellent foaming, vapor sealing, extinguishment and burn-back properties utilizing recent, sea or brackish water. Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and sometimes show viscosity increase when involved with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very stable foams whereas keeping an analogous viscosity to traditional AR-AFFF foams. This considerably 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 persevering with technology innovation by the company within the area of fluorine-free foams. ‘At Perimeter Solutions, we’re engaged in an intensive growth programme for fluorine-free expertise that meets the best level of fire-suppression necessities,’ he said. ‘In addition to the wonderful firefighting performance, one of many key advances of SOLBERG VERSAGARD is its constant viscosity when in contact with water, which is vastly completely different from many different fluorine-free foams in the marketplace. This can have a dramatic impact on dealing with and use rates in firefighting operations.’ he said.
A broad vary of use functions
SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate steady foams with excessive fluidity and gradual drainage. This novel expertise permits SOLBERG VERSAGARD to perform similarly to fluorinated merchandise. It may be used with low-expansion foam tools (nozzles and monitors) and medium- and high-expansion foam discharge gadgets to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent gasoline fires. It is fully suitable and easily proportioned with standard firefighting gear, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, hearth truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced pressure techniques and more.
In addition to its excellent foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has excellent wetting capability, making it additionally an efficient device for the extinguishment of Class A gas fires.
Multiple certifications show effectiveness
Perimeter Solutions has achieved a broad range of certifications for SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 required for varied regions and applications. The firefighting foam concentrate:
Has achieved the maximum ranking and is certified to European Standard EN-1568:2018 half three & 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 – to be used 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 three nozzles (semi, asp, system)
Has achieved ICAO Level B
The firm is pursuing further certifications for the product. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is available instantly on a worldwide basis. Perimeter Solutions will be discussing the new foam technology at the AOG Energy Conference in Perth, Australia, 11–12 March 2021, Stand D23.
