Rosenbauer Panther tests Sthamer Moussol -FF36

Published: 22 July, 2011

This Rosenbauer Panther, with a R600 pump and a RM 15 bumper turret with a capacity of 1500 lpm, is testing Dr Sthamer-Hamburg's MOUSSOL–FFAlcohol-resistant Fluorine-free Foam under freezing temperatures of -5 Celsius. The aircrash tender is now operational at Gatwick Airport. Watch the video!

MOUSSOL FF is an alcohol-resistant fluorine free fire extinguishing foam concentrate. It is based on special surface active agents, polymer film formers, co-surfactants as well as foam stabilisers and anti-freezing compounds which are partially made of re-growing raw materials.

MOUSSOL–FF is a pseudoplastic product which is stable against both polar (watermiscible) and non-polar hydrocarbons as well as mixtures of the two.

MOUSSOL–FF has very good foaming properties and can be used as medium expansion foam as well. On polar hydrocarbons, the polymer film formed effectively prevents destruction of the foam.
