Perimeter Solutions (NYSE: PRM), a leading global manufacturer of high-quality firefighting products and lubricant additives, has announced the launch of SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100 Fluorine-Free Foam Concentrate. With the UL-162 listing granted, the newest addition to Perimeter Solutions’ catalogue of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates is the industry’s first UL-listed fluorine-free 3×3 foam concentrate with the full complement of hardware and sprinkler listings, including non-aspirated, standard sprinkler heads.
‘This is an exciting breakthrough for the fire safety industry,’ says Craig McDonnell, General Manager of Fire Suppression for the Americas at Perimeter Solutions. ‘SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100 contains cutting-edge technology and is designed for sprinkler applications to extinguish and secure both Class B [hydrocarbon fuel and polar solvent fuel] and deep-seated Class A fires. It has been tested and meets the requirements of UL-162, the industry’s highest fire safety standard for Class B foam.’ In addition to its UL-162 listing, SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100 is currently going through the Factory Mutual (FM) testing process and is expected to be added to the FM Approval Guide during the first half of 2023.
SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100 is a biodegradable and non-persistent foam concentrate that contains no silicone/siloxane chemistries or intentionally added per- or polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS). This fluorine-free foam concentrate is a combination of proprietary hydrocarbon surfactants and additives that delivers excellent foaming, vapour sealing and stability properties for attacking and securing both shallow and fuel in-depth fires.
This new foam can be used successfully through both standard and air-aspirated sprinkler heads. It can also be used with low-expansion discharge devices, including a variety of nozzles and monitors. SOLBERG RE-HEALING 3×3 SP-100 is fully compatible and easily proportioned with standard firefighting equipment, including in-line inductors, self-inducting nozzles, fire-truck pumps, bladder tanks, pump skids, water-driven foam proportioners, balanced pressure systems and other equipment. It is compatible with fresh, salt and brackish water, provides fast knockdown and extinguishing performance, and delivers excellent burnback performance.
