DESCRIPTION

SOLBERG® VERSAGARD™ AS-100 multipurpose 3x3 fluorine-free foam concentrate is a state-of-the-art AR fluorine-free pseudoplastic foam technology. Non-persistent, siloxane-free, with no intentionally added PFAS chemicals, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed for extinguishing and securing both Class B (hydrocarbon fuel and polar solvent fuel) and deep-seated Class A fires. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives producing excellent foam expansion, product stability, vapour sealing, extinguishment and burnback properties for both shallow and fuel in-depth fires, using fresh, sea or brackish water.

This fluorine-free concentrate has been engineered to produce a stable and long-draining foam blanket, whilst ensuring a concentrate with no significant viscosity change in presence of water and with improved storage, handling, proportioning and long-term stability.

APPLICATIONS

SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 is designed to generate stable foams with high fluidity and slow drainage. This novel technology allows SOLBERG VERSAGARD to perform similarly to fluorinated products.

It may be used with low-expansion foam equipment (nozzles and monitors) and medium & high-expansion foam discharge devices to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. It is fully compatible and easily proportioned with standard firefighting equipment, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fire truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced pressure systems and more.

In addition to its excellent foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 has excellent wetting ability making it an effective tool for the extinguishment of Class A fuel fires.
