Abstract: We study multicomponent effects in the stellar winds of B type stars. For stars with highest mass-loss rates the usual one-component approach is sufficient. For stars with weaker winds multicomponent effects become important. For even less dense winds hydrogen and helium fall back on the stellar surface or even a pure metallic wind is possible.
