The transition to fluorine-free foam extinguishing agents raises many questions, particularly among users. In addition to concerns about extinguishing performance, users are eager to know whether the existing extinguishing equipment and established firefighting tactics can continue to be used.

The increasing emphasis on environmental aspects in firefighting operations is making the choice and application of extinguishing agents increasingly challenging. Firefighting efforts must become more efficient due to the shortage of personnel and resources. Additionally, operational scenarios are becoming more complex due to the interconnection of various modes of transportation in public spaces.

Die Waldbrände in Südamerika haben unlängst erneut die verheerende Wirkung von Wald- und Vegetationsbränden aufgezeigt. Auch die vergangenen Sommer in Mittel- und Nordeuropa waren geprägt von Dürre und ausgetrockneten Wäldern, weshalb sich europäische Feuerwehren bereits intensiv auf die kommende Trockenperiode vorbereiten.

The Maxi Terminal Hamm covers an area of around ten hectares and is a container terminal of the latest generation. Up to 52,000 loading units can be moved at the Hamm site every year.

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

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! […]

For testing the induction rate with the respective proportioning system, we have prepared a Technical Information (in English), which can serve as a test recommendation and assistance.

vaPUREx® LV ICAO are foam agents that are 100% biodegradable. When foamed, the agents can be used for direct foam application on aviation fuels. Other fuels and oils used at airports can also be extinguished with vaPUREx® foam agents. The advanced formulations from new raw material combinations reduce the loading of the foam with fuel at […]

The American property insurer Federal Mutual (FM) has changed the requirements of the test standard FM-5130 for foam extinguishing agents to comply with the current legislation regarding fluororganic compounds, […]

The topic of 'fluorine-free', or the presence or absence of organic fluorine compounds in foam agents, is currently a hot topic. It's the subject of various discussions, regulations, and a cause of significant uncertainty among users. To contribute to the clarification of the term 'fluorine-free', we have developed a technical information sheet.

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. […]
