Products containing halogen — such as wires and cables, conduits, routing ducts and more — can have a negative impact on both industrial workers and machinery. In the event of a fire, for example, halogenated wires and cables give off toxic fumes that can cause serious health concerns if inhaled, and major damage to expensive electronic equipment. Halogen-free cables address these concerns.
A halogen-free solution
Lapp Canada offers a halogen-free cable solution. Its ÖLFLEX CLASSIC 110 H/110 CH is a low smoke, zero-halogen, multi-conductor control and power cable with improved oil resistance and flame protection. Designed for use in electrical equipment exposed to dry or damp conditions, this cable is UV- and weather-resistant, and comes in shielded and unshielded versions. These features make it a top choice for applications where human safety is a concern, such as in public buildings, airports, railway stations and amusement parks.
Meeting safety standards
The push to reduce halogen usage is now reflected in many safety standards, which evaluate the cable fume toxicity produced during a fire to provide some determination concerning halogen-free or low smoke, zero-halogen cable requirements. Some examples of such standards include:
