Solberg and Perimeter Solutions has launched a new type of fluorine free foam. SOLBERG® VERSAGARD™ AS-100 multipurpose 3×3 fluorine-free foam concentrate is a state-of-the-art alcohol-resistant, fluorine-free pseudoplastic foam technology, with no intentionally added PFAS chemicals, designed for extinguishing and securing both Class B (hydrocarbon fuel and polar solvent fuel) and deep-seated Class A fires. VERSAGARD AS-100 has received very high test ratings in EN 1568-3 and -4, ICAO, IMO, LASTFIRE and is also UL-approved.

VERSAGARD AS-100 fluorine-free foam concentrate is a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives delivering excellent foaming, vapour sealing, extinguishment and burnback properties for attacking and securing both shallow and fuel in-depth fires, using fresh, sea or brackish water.

Some fluorine-free foams are viscous and often show viscosity increase in contact with water. SOLBERG VERSAGARD AS-100 creates very stable foams with similar viscosity to traditional AR-AFFF foams. This significantly improves storage, handling and long-term stability. Thanks to the viscosity profile, many current proportioning systems are compatible with VERSAGARD AS-100 without any calibration needed.
