Die Europäische Kommission hat in der Vergangenheit bereits verschiedene Per- und Polyfluoralkylsubstanzen (PFAS) reguliert. Darüber hinaus gibt es weitere Gesetzgebungsinitiativen, die die Verwendung von PFAS weiter einschränken werden. Dies hat insbesondere auch Auswirkungen auf die Verwendung von fluorierten Schaumlöschmitteln (AFFF). Man muss davon ausgehen, dass fluorhaltige Schaummittel mittel- und langfristig in der EU nur noch […]

Customers often tell us that foam exercises with our foam agents are prohibited. They refer to the statement in our Safety Data Sheet (SDS) that discharge into the sewer system is not allowed. This connection is not quite correct: - A Safety Data Sheet always applies only to the product in its delivered state - in this case, the foam concentrate! […]

In an airport emergency every second counts. That's why airports count on the best equipment available. Fire engines which meet ICAO standard achieve high acceleration values rates and carry tons of fire extinguishing agent. The fire extinguishing foam used must also meet special performance criteria on kerosene and aviation fuel. With vaPUREx® LV ICAO C 3%, Dr Sthamer is setting new standards

A wildfire is a devastating natural phenomenon that annually destroys vast areas of forest and poses a threat to humans and animals. The impacts of wildfires are not limited to the affected ecosystems but also have far-reaching consequences for the climate and air quality. Moreover, they pose a significant economic risk to forestry and forest management. […]
