Derbyshire Appointed East Coast Marine Distributor Of Foam Vests Derbyshire Foam Systems Prod- ucts has been appointed the Ameri- can east coast distributor for the Maverick Foam Vest System by IMSSCO of San Diego, Calif.

One person can immedi- June, 1993 ately control foam or water spray with the flick of a lever. The system eliminates restric- tions of hose length, elevation and eductor pressure loss while maxi- mizing mobility and efficiency. The Maverick Foam Vest is also ideal for vapor suppression of haz- ardous materials. By using Maverick Haz-Mat foam, the vest provides immediate vapor suppressing foam for hydrocarbons, polar solvents and certain chemi- cals using fresh or salt water. The Maverick Dispersant Vest is now in use for dispensing oil spill dispersants along with bio- remediation. Derbyshire offers a four-page color brochure and video tape explaining the Maverick Foam Vest System.
