Dr STHAMER launches a NEW range of Fluorine Free Fire Fighting Foams

Dr STHAMER’s NEW vaPUREx® LV 1% F-10 is a fluorine-free low viscosity (Newtonian) firefighting foam concentrate providing a fast-spreading and safely covering low expansion foam.

With that vaPUREx® LV 1% F-10 is particularly suitable for forceful application onto petroleum products giving a fast and safe vapour suppression.

vaPUREx® LV 1% F-10 is readily and 100% biodegradable. It is free of fluorine and silicon compounds, preservatives or other persistent or environmentally disadvantageous substances.

Also now available is Dr. STHAMER’s NEW vaPUREx® LV ICAO B 3% F-10 is a 100% biodegradable fire extinguishing foam concentrate designed for direct foam application on aviation fuels. It is type tested and certified in accordance with Annex 14 ICAO Level B. As vaPUREx® LV is a low-viscosity, Newtonian liquid it can be used with all standard mobile and fixed proportioners up to its lowest usable temperature of -10°C. A sophisticated blend of active materials very effectively prevents the foam from forming emulsions with the fuel despite the absence of fluorinated chemicals. This facilitates effective vapour suppression and thus a fast firefighting success and good burn back stability.

All products of the new vaPUREx®–line offers both a high environmental sustainability and high performance: Its special formulation reduces formation of emulsions with the fuel and allows for direct foam application to non-polar fuels. The fine bubble structure and compact foam blanket reduces the danger of re-ignition of areas of the fire that are already extinguished.
