You can get slow-closing solenoid valve for this application.
You could also use a solenoid valvle as a pilot valve operating a
diaphragm valve, with a restriction in the diaphragm discharge; I
can't recall how that's done now. Many large 'solenoid' valves are
pilot operated diaphragm valves.
Plan B, get a motorized ball valve; less likely the stick open than
a solenoid.
Make sure it can handle the pressure.
