Did you know
- Dr. Sthamer, established in Hamburg in 1886, has a long heritage in fire fighting foam concentrates. The MOUSSOL-APS series, an alcohol-resistant AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam), has seen continuous development, with newer generations like MOUSSOL-APS 0.5x0.5 AR-AFFF being launched around January 2017.
- The MOUSSOL-APS series sits within Dr. Sthamer's range as an alcohol-resistant AFFF foam concentrate, designed for both polar and non-polar flammable liquids. It is distinct from the fluorine-free MOUSSOL-FF series, which is also alcohol-resistant but does not contain fluorinated components.
- MOUSSOL-APS is chosen for its effectiveness on both polar solvents (like alcohols) and non-polar hydrocarbons, providing rapid extinguishment and excellent burn-back resistance. Its ability to form a polymer film on polar solvents and an aqueous film on non-polar hydrocarbons ensures a safe barrier against foam-destroying properties and prevents reignition.
