For aviation fire safety, including airport and hangar facilities and Aircraft Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) applications, Perimeter Solutions has developed some of the most advanced foam concentrates and systems hardware on the market. With industry-leading experts, worldwide experience, and global reach, we continually pioneer firefighting foam concentrate technologies to meet the latest demands in the industry.

Perimeter Solutions’ PHOS-CHEK®, SOLBERG®, and AUXQUIMIA® Class B foams are ahead of the curve, offering both fluorine-free formulations and C6-based aqueous film-forming foams (AFFF), and alcohol-resistant aqueous film-forming foams (AR-AFFF). Our products have comprehensive 3rd party recognized approvals including Underwriters Laboratories (UL), Factory Mutual (FM), EN-1568 Certified, International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) levels B and C, International Maritime Organization (IMO), US Military Specifications 24385 and 32725, and LASTFIRE Certified.

In 2020, Perimeter Solutions introduced our SOLBERG AVIGARD™ line of fluorine-free firefighting foam concentrates developed specifically for aviation applications.

Perimeter Solutions is at the forefront of the development of fluorine-free foam concentrate technology for aviation applications – with installations in North America, the Middle East and Europe. Perimeter participated in the first fluorine-free fixed foam system airport conversion and Aircraft Rescue Firefighting (ARFF) truck conversion at a major airport in North America. Our personnel have experience with the regulatory and operational requirements of converting facilities to fluorine-free concentrates.

Class B Foam

Perimeter Solutions’ PHOS-CHEK and AUXQUIMIA Class B firefighting foams utilize the latest technology and are among the most effective and environmentally responsible products on the market. Our Class B product portfolio includes fluorine-free, AFFF, and AR-AFFF. These foam concentrates are offered in 1%, 3%, and 6% proportioned versions and include freeze protected and low viscosity foam concentrates.

SOLBERG AVIGARD Fluorine-Free Foam Concentrates are a state-of-the-art fluorine-free, low viscosity aviation foam technology designed for extinguishing and securing flammable aviation fuel spills and fires (Jet A and Jet A1). A special combination of hydrocarbon surfactants and additives delivers excellent foaming, extinguishment and burnback properties to firefighting foams using either fresh water or sea water. SOLBERG AVIGARD foam concentrates contain no added PFAS chemicals and can be considered as readily and rapidly biodegradable.

The SOLBERG AVIGARD line features a special formulation designed to meet or exceed ICAO regulations with excellent performance on Jet A/Jet A1 fuel – with high fluidity and slow drainage. They may be used with low expansion foam equipment (nozzles and monitors) and medium expansion foam devices to fight fires involving Class B hydrocarbon fuel fires.

Fire Extinguisher Additives

Perimeter Solutions fire extinguisher additives are especially designed for use in portable fire extinguishers. These foam concentrates are designed for use with handheld or wheeled units for rapid extinguishment of shallow spill fires. They are compatible with carbon steel and light alloys exhibiting low corrosion rate.

Equipment

Perimeter Solutions foam suppression systems hardware is engineered by a team with over 200 years of combined in-the-field fire protection experience. These include system tanks, proportioning devices, discharge devices and mobile systems. Our experts know the real-world challenges. And they know how to optimize the design of our proven products to fit the individual needs of each customer.
