Solberg VERSAGARD 1x3 Fluorine Free Foam

The Solberg VERSAGARD 1x3 Fluorine Free Foam is a trusted solution for industries requiring high-performance fire suppression with state-of-the-art AR fluorine-free pseudoplastic foam technology. Non-persistent, siloxane-free, with no intentionally added PFAS chemicals, VERSAGARD Fluorine Free Foam extinguishes and secures both Class B (hydrocarbon fuel and polar solvent fuel) and deep-seated Class A fires.

Solberg VERSAGARD 1x3 Fluorine Free Foam is also a combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives, producing excellent foam expansion, product stability, vapor 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 improved storage, handling, proportioning and long-term stability.

The VERSAGARD Fluorine Free Foam is also environmentally conscious, offering a safer alternative without compromising effectiveness. Choose Solberg VERSAGARD Fluorine Free Foam for reliable and sustainable fire protection.

Applications:

SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1x3 is designed to generate stable foams with high fluidity and slow drainage. This noveltechnology allows SOLBERG VERSAGARD to perform similarly to fluorinated products. It may be used with low expansion foam equipment (nozzles and monitors) at 1% for hydrocarbons and low, medium & high expansion foam discharge devices at 3% to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon and polar solvent fuel fires. It is fully compatible with standard firefighting equipment, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fire truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, balanced pressure systems and more. The viscosity of this product can increase in case of very low temperatures and the use of special equipment could be recommended. In addition to its excellent foamability and bubble stability, SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1x3 has excellent wetting ability, making it an effective tool for the extinguishment of Class A fuel fires.

Inspection:

SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1x3 or a premix solution should be tested annually per National Fire protection Association
(NFPA 11) and EN-13565-2 standards. A sample of the foam concentrate should be sent to the manufacturer or qualified third party lab to confirm physical properties and foam quality meet the specifications of the foam as originally supplied as per the requirements of NFPA 11 and EN-13565-2.

Packaging:

The product is supplied in 20 or 25 L PE prismatic containers, 200 L PE cylindrical drums and, 1,000 L IBC containers.

Storage/Material Compatibility:

SOLBERG VERSAGARD 1x3 should be stored between -5ºC and +50°C, preferably in the original containers. It is compatible with multiple materials of construction found in firefighting equipment. For questions about material of construction compatibility consult Perimeter Solutions technical services.

CAUTION: Foams should not be used in contact with electrical equipment or with chemical products that can react with water. It is recommended to avoid contact of the foam concentrate with skin. In case of eye splashes, wash with plenty of water. In case of ingestion do not induce vomiting, drink water and seek medical advice.
