SOLBERG® — PFAS-Free Class B Foam Concentrates for Energy, Marine and Industrial Sites

From Perimeter Solutions — the foam technology that retired AFFF. Supplied in Thailand by SATU Innovative. SATU does not stock, supply or sell AFFF or AR-AFFF.

Why SOLBERG, why now

SOLBERG® is the firefighting foam brand of Perimeter Solutions (NYSE: PRM), with manufacturing and R&D footprints across North America, Europe, the Middle East and Asia. For more than four decades, SOLBERG has set the benchmark for low-expansion Class B foam — protecting oil terminals, refineries, LNG facilities, aircraft hangars, marine vessels and chemical plants worldwide.

SOLBERG made the strategic decision to exit fluorinated chemistry years before regulators forced the industry to do so. The result is the most complete fluorine-free, PFAS-free Class B foam range on the market — covering hydrocarbon and polar-solvent fuel fires, fixed-system and mobile applications, fresh and seawater service, ARFF (aircraft rescue and firefighting), and DoD MIL-SPEC requirements.

SATU Innovative supplies SOLBERG foam concentrate in Thailand. Our role is more than supplying drums and totes: we engineer the system the foam will run in, calculate the right concentrate quantity to NFPA 11 / LASTFIRE / FM 5130, support PFAS phase-out planning under the Ministry of Industry Notification on the List of Hazardous Substances No. 7 (B.E. 2565), which listed PFOA and related compounds as Type 4 hazardous substances, and back the product with after-sales technical service.

PFAS-Free Class B Foam Concentrate Range

Five products, one strategic direction. Every product on this page is fluorine-free, contains no intentionally added PFAS (including PFOA and PFOS), no siloxane chemistries, and is biodegradable. Choose by certification, fuel type, and system architecture.

1) SOLBERG® VERSAGARD™ AS-100 — 3×3 AR-SFFF

The flagship multipurpose alcohol-resistant foam. Same 3% concentration on hydrocarbons and polar solvents — one foam, every Class B fire.

Concentration: 3% × 3% (hydrocarbons / polar solvents)
Certifications: UL 162, EN 1568:2018 Parts 1–4 (IA/IA on heptane and acetone), ICAO Level B, IMO MSC.1/Circ.1312, GreenScreen Silver
LASTFIRE batch-certified Good / Good / Good across semi-aspirated, aspirated and system nozzles

Best fit: oil terminal tank farms, marine vessels, refinery process areas, mixed-product depots

2) SOLBERG® VERSAGARD™ 1×3 AR-SFFF

The economical multipurpose option — 1% on hydrocarbons, 3% on polar solvents.

Concentration 1% × 3% — reduces concentrate demand by ~67% on hydrocarbon-only fires
Certifications: UL 162, EN 1568:2018 Parts 1–4, IMO MSC.1/Circ.1312, ICAO Level B
Same biodegradable, PFAS-free, siloxane-free chemistry as the AS-100 platform

3) SOLBERG® RE-HEALING™ RF3 / RF6

Hydrocarbon-only fluorine-free synthetic foam. FM Approved per FM Approval Standard 5130 — the choice for FM-insured sites.

Concentration: RF3 = 3%, RF6 = 6% (hydrocarbons only)
Certifications: UL 162, ULC S564, FM Approved per FM 5130, EN 1568 Part 3, ICAO Levels B and C
Excellent burnback resistance; rapid resealing “self-healing” foam blanket
Use in fresh, salt or brackish water — proven seawater performance
Best fit: refinery and crude-oil tank farms with FM compliance, ARFF tier

4) SOLBERG® RE-HEALING™ 3×3 SP-100

The first UL-listed fluorine-free 3×3 foam with the full sprinkler hardware and listing complement.

Concentration 3% × 3% — multipurpose hydrocarbon and polar solvent
Certifications: UL 162 Listed for fixed sprinkler systems with standard heads, EN 1568 Parts 3 & 4
Sprinkler application rates: 0.16–0.48 GPM/ft² (standard heads); 0.16 GPM/ft² (foam-water aspirated)
Best fit: fixed sprinkler / foam-water deluge in chemical plants, hangars, warehouses

5) SOLBERG® EVOLUTION™ 3% SFFF + SOLBERG® 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF

The DoD-grade Newtonian SFFF family. EVOLUTION 3% earned the first FM 5130 approval for a fluorine-free Newtonian foam (March 2026); 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF was the first F3 added to the U.S. DoD Qualified Products List.

Specification: MIL-PRF-32725 — the DoD fluorine-free foam specification for land-based, fresh-water applications, introduced in 2023 alongside the phase-out of MIL-PRF-24385 AFFF
Newtonian (water-like) viscosity — compatible with standard sprinkler hardware and existing AFFF infrastructure with minimal retrofit
EVOLUTION 3% SFFF: FM Approved per FM 5130 (first Newtonian F3), DoD QPL listed
No silicone or siloxane chemistries, no biopolymers, no thickening agents, no PBT profile
Best fit: aircraft hangars, fuel storage facilities, military bases, sprinkler retrofits

Why PFAS-Free SOLBERG

Zero PFAS by design — aligns with Thailand’s PFOA prohibition under Hazardous Substances List No. 7 (B.E. 2565), EU REACH and Stockholm POPs.
Defensible certifications across the range — UL 162, FM 5130, EN 1568 IA/IA, ICAO B&C, IMO MSC.1/Circ.1312, LASTFIRE GOOD/GOOD/GOOD and DoD QPL. No single grade carries every listing: UL 162, FM 5130 and ICAO B/C sit on RE-HEALING RF3, while EN 1568 IA/IA, IMO 1312 and LASTFIRE sit on VERSAGARD AS-100, and the DoD QPL entry is 3% MIL-SPEC SFFF.
Real fire performance — EN 1568 IA/IA on heptane and acetone; LASTFIRE-qualified across all nozzle types used by oil majors.
Designed in, not bolted on — Newtonian variants drop into existing AFFF hardware; AR-SFFF runs on FireDos® FD20000 also distributed by SATU.

Thailand PFAS Context — Plan Now

The Ministry of Industry Notification on the List of Hazardous Substances No. 7 (B.E. 2565), published 21 December 2022, listed PFOA, its salts and PFOA-related compounds as Type 4 hazardous substances — a prohibition, with remaining stock to be declared and destroyed by 19 June 2023. PFOS in Class B firefighting foam is a separate matter: it remains under a Stockholm Convention specific exemption, and the Hazardous Substances List No. 8 (B.E. 2568), effective 8 July 2025, added no perfluorinated substance at all. So for a land-based site the move off AFFF is driven by insurer requirements, group standards and environmental liability rather than by Thai law. On SOLAS ships the IMO rule effective 1 January 2026 is a hard legal obligation. Owners of refineries, terminals, power plants, marine fleets and large-occupancy facilities need a transition plan covering:

Inventory and disposal of legacy AFFF / AR-AFFF concentrate (per hazardous-waste regulations)
Complete system flushing — AFFF residue contaminates new F3 foam and degrades performance
Re-engineering of foam proportioning hardware to handle higher AR-SFFF viscosity (VERSAGARD AS-100 is published at 2,900–3,500 mPa.s on a Brookfield LV-4 spindle at 30 rpm and 20 °C, but only 105 mPa.s at a 375 s⁻¹ shear rate — AR grades are pseudoplastic, so a single Brookfield number is not comparable to a proportioner limit. Compare concentrate and proportioner at the same shear rate; FireDos publishes its approved envelope as a viscosity against shear-rate curve per model)
Re-validation testing — application rates, burnback, foam quality (LASTFIRE or third-party laboratory)
Documentation pack: product certificate, MSDS, MIL-SPEC / FM / UL listings, environmental compliance file
