A firefighting foam has become the first of its kind to secure Factory Mutual (FM) approval.
The SOLBERG EVOLUTION 3% Synthetic Fluorine-Free Foam (SFFF) from Perimeter Solutions is a Newtonian formulation designed for ARFF and sprinkler applications.
First fluorine-free foam approved for both DoD and FM standards
It is the first fluorine-free foam on the Department of Defense’s Qualified Products List to also hold FM approval for use in fixed sprinkler systems.
The fluorine-free technology is suitable for aircraft hangars, fuel storage facilities, and other fixed fire protection systems.
Meeting evolving fire safety and environmental requirements
Zachary Brackin, Manager of Business Development and Southern Region Sales Manager at Perimeter Solutions, said: “Aviation fire protection is evolving, and so is the chemistry behind it.
“This advanced formulation delivers effective fire suppression that meets the strict performance and compliance standards set by FM, UL, ICAO, FAA and the US Department of Defense, helping customers transition to fluorine-free foam that is compatible with their existing fire protection infrastructure.”
James Perriss, Director of Product Management, Global Suppressants at Perimeter Solutions, said: “SOLBERG Evolution builds on the success of SOLBERG 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF, the first fluorine-free concentrate to be included on the Department of Defense’s Qualified Products List (QPL).
“This formulation expands the range of approved applications, including use with standard sprinkler systems, providing another example of how SOLBERG is advancing fire suppression technology while supporting customers with environmentally responsible, high-performance solutions.”
