What are the characteristics of low-smoke halogen-free cables?
Low-smoke halogen-free wire and cable is an innovative environmentally friendly cable that has been widely used in many industries such as power, communications, construction and transportation in recent years. With its unique materials and design concepts, this cable shows significant advantages in many aspects. The following cable manufacturers will introduce in detail the eight characteristics of low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables.
1. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic. A significant feature of low-smoke and halogen-free wires and cables is that they are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Compared with traditional cables, traditional cables produce large amounts of toxic smoke and hydrogen halide gas when burned, posing a serious threat to the environment and human health. Low-smoke halogen-free cables use halogen-free materials as insulation and sheaths. They produce very little smoke when burned and contain no toxic substances. This effectively reduces secondary pollution in the event of a fire and ensures the safety of personnel and equipment.
2. Excellent flame retardant performance
Low-smoke halogen-free wire and cable also have excellent flame retardant properties. Even near the fire source, this type of cable can effectively suppress the spread of fire and reduce the risk of fire. Its flame retardant mechanism mainly relies on the flame retardancy of the material itself and the carbonization layer formed during combustion. The latter can effectively isolate oxygen and prevent further expansion of the flame.
3. High temperature resistance and stability
The insulation and sheath materials of low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables have high heat resistance and can maintain stable electrical and mechanical properties at high temperatures. This allows such cables to work reliably in high temperature environments, and is not prone to aging, cracking and other problems, which extends the service life to a certain extent.
4. Strong weather resistance. The sheath materials of low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables also have good weather resistance and can resist the erosion of natural environments such as ultraviolet rays, ozone, and rain. This feature enables such cables to maintain stable performance for a long time when installed outdoors, reducing failures and replacement costs caused by environmental factors.
5. High softness. The insulation and sheath materials of low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables usually have good flexibility, making the overall softness of the cable high and easy to bend and install. This feature not only improves construction efficiency, but also reduces the stress concentration caused by cable bending, and improves the reliability of the cable.
6. Corrosion resistance
The sheath materials of low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables also have excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of chemicals such as acids, alkalis, and salts. This enables this type of cable to work reliably in corrosive environments such as chemical, petroleum, and ocean, broadening its application range.
7. Excellent electrical performance. Low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables also perform well in electrical performance. Its insulating material has excellent insulation resistance and voltage resistance, which can ensure that the cable reduces energy loss and leakage when transmitting electrical energy. At the same time, this type of cable also has good anti-interference ability, which can ensure the stability and accuracy of signal transmission.
8. High safety. Combining the above characteristics, low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables are particularly outstanding in safety. Its environmental protection and non-toxicity, good flame retardant performance, high temperature stability, strong weather resistance, high softness, corrosion resistance and excellent electrical performance together constitute the high safety of this type of cable. In emergency situations such as fire, low-smoke halogen-free cables can reduce the generation of toxic smoke and reduce the risk of casualties; at the same time, its good flame retardant properties can also effectively curb the spread of fire and protect the safety of equipment and property.
Through the combined effect of these characteristics, low-smoke halogen-free wires and cables not only improve their efficiency, but also greatly enhance their safety and reliability in various environments. Due to these characteristics, they have become increasingly popular among consumers in recent years. Foshan Yuejiaxin Wire and Cable Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of wires and cables.
