Perimeter Solutions Gives Firefighters A Tactical Advantage in Fire Suppression With SOLBERG SPARTAN Class A/B Foam
April 10 2025 - 9:00AM
Perimeter Solutions (NYSE: PRM), a leading global manufacturer of
high-quality fire retardant and firefighting foam concentrates,
kicked off the opening of FDIC 2025 by announcing SOLBERG SPARTAN™
1% Fluorine-Free Class A/B Foam Concentrate. This foam technology
was designed to give firefighters a tactical advantage to achieve
total fire suppression on structure, wildland, vehicle, gasoline,
and dumpster fires.
"SOLBERG SPARTAN is a game-changing product for firefighters.
One foam for 99% of fires, it is our most effective fluorine-free
Class A/B foam, delivering fast knockdowns, reducing flashover
risk, and providing superior heat protection,” says Craig
McDonnell, Vice President, Americas Fire Suppression at Perimeter
Solutions. “The key advantage of SOLBERG SPARTAN is how it supports
firefighter safety. By reducing the amount of time needed to battle
a fire, it decreases a firefighter’s exposure and keeps crews ahead
of fast-changing conditions.”
Perimeter’s Class A/B foam concentrate is engineered to provide
cooling and fire suppression power to knockdown fires quickly and
efficiently. While water alone is still an effective suppressant,
research shows that when used by itself it takes nearly four
minutes to cool a fire from 1,000°F to 212°F. Adding a foam
solution like SOLBERG SPARTAN to water can accomplish the same
temperature reduction in less than half the time. Engineered for
rapid knockdown, SOLBERG SPARTAN also cuts water demand by 40%,
helping firefighters to maximize every drop, while reducing strain
on critical resources and allowing crews to operate more
efficiently.
It is compatible with conventional firefighting equipment, such
as inline eductors, self-inducting nozzles, low-expansion non-air
aspirating and air aspirating nozzles, monitors, medium-expansion
foam devices, and compressed air foam systems (CAFS). With similar
viscosity to Class A foam, SOLBERG SPARTAN is also compatible with
onboard proportioning systems.
SOLBERG SPARTAN enters the market with three key
certifications:
- UL 162/ULC S654 Listed - 1% for Class B Hydrocarbon Non-Water
Miscible Fuel Fires
- UL/ULC Classified - 0.1% for Class A fires and 0.25% for Class
B Non-Water Miscible Fires
- Class A Wetting Agent in accordance with ANSI/NFPA 18
“We are proud to introduce this battle-ready foam technology,
providing firefighters with a solution that maximizes efficiency,
conserves water, and minimizes property damage. With no
intentionally added PFAS [per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances], it
represents the future of fire suppression. As a former firefighter,
I know firsthand what’s needed in the field, and today’s
firefighters will be impressed by how SOLBERG SPARTAN delivers
excellent performance while supporting firefighter safety," says
Kurt Becker, Controller, Americas Fire Suppression at Perimeter
Solutions.
