alpha-methylstyrene

Explanation:
If there are no metal parts in the accessories, it is also possible that MS refers to the type of plastic used. MS is the abbreviation for alpha-methylstyrene

Badezimmer-Armaturen Messing verchromt
Hat jemand von euch Erfahrungen mit Badezimmerarmaturen aus verchromtem Messing? Sind die heikler in der Pflege bzw. ist die Lebensdauer kürzer als bei reinen Chrom-Armaturen?

Verchromte Messingarmaturen sind das übliche. es gibt auch Amaturen aus Chrom-Nickel-Stahl. sind aber meistens mit einer Körnung geschliffen und gebürstet. Sind sicher dauerhafter, aber zum reinigen wegen dem Kalk sicher auch aufwendiger.
