    Product Description

    Low smoke and halogen-free materials for cables are a special material widely used in cable manufacturing, which occupies an important position in the cable industry with its unique environmental and safety performance.

    1、Definition

    Low smoke and halogen-free cable materials refer to materials that do not produce toxic smoke and corrosive gases during cable combustion. This material is commonly used for the insulation and sheath layers of cables to improve their environmental performance and safety.

    2、Characteristics

    Environmental friendliness

    Low smoke and halogen-free materials do not produce toxic smoke and corrosive gases such as hydrogen halides during combustion, making them harmless to the environment and human health.

    Flame retardancy

    This material usually contains flame retardants such as magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide, which enable the cable to self extinguish or slow down the combustion rate during combustion, improving the fire resistance of the cable.

    Corrosion resistance

    The insulation layer of low smoke halogen-free materials has good corrosion resistance and can maintain good electrical and mechanical properties in various chemical environments.

    Physical properties

    This material typically has high tensile strength, good weather resistance, flexibility, and elasticity, which can meet the needs of cables in different usage environments.

    3、Application

    Low smoke halogen-free cable materials are widely used in various fields due to their excellent environmental and safety performance, including but not limited to:

    High rise residential buildings: There is a high demand for cables and they need to meet certain fire resistance requirements. Low smoke and halogen-free cables can prevent the spread of flames without producing toxic gases, providing more time for personnel evacuation and rescue.
    Important public places: such as large and medium-sized shopping malls, airports, stations, etc., have high personnel density and difficulty in escaping. The application of low smoke and halogen-free cables can help improve the overall fire safety level.
    Underground facilities: such as tunnels and subways have poor ventilation conditions, making it difficult to extinguish fires once they occur. Low smoke halogen-free cables have a high fire resistance rating and can maintain normal power supply for a period of time during a fire.
    Important facilities: such as nuclear power plants and computer control centers have extremely high requirements for fire prevention and safety control. Low smoke and halogen-free cables can effectively prevent the spread of flames while not having a negative impact on equipment and the environment.
    In industrial fields: such as petrochemicals and power industry, cables need to be able to be used in harsh environments such as high temperature, explosion-proof, and waterproof. The structural design of low smoke and halogen-free cables makes them widely used in these fields.
    4、Advantages and disadvantages

    advantage:

    Environmental protection: Burning does not produce toxic gases, and the residue is harmless.
    Safety: It has excellent flame retardant properties and can slow down the spread of fire.
    Corrosion resistance: able to maintain good performance in various chemical environments.
    Excellent physical properties: such as high tensile strength and good weather resistance.

    Disadvantages:

    High cost: The manufacturing process and material cost of low smoke halogen-free cables are relatively high, and the price is higher compared to ordinary cables.
