responsible for transferring this vital energy to homes, offices, and industrial spaces. However, there are potential
dangers lurking in these electrical networks. One of these risks is fire caused by faulty connections or overload.
In such a situation, smoke and toxic gases from fire can endanger human lives and cause significant financial losses.
Halogen-free cable has been created in response to this vital need. During a fire, these types of cables release
water vapor and harmless gases instead of releasing smoke and dangerous toxic gases. Halogen-free materials such
as thermoplastic compounds, fluoropolymers, and special elastomers are used in the insulation and sheathing of
halogen-free cables. Halogens are elements such as fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine that release toxic
and dangerous gases during fire.
As a result of the absence of halogen in the components of the cable, halogen-free is the most important feature of this type of cable.
This feature ensures that during a fire, smoke and dangerous toxic gases are not released from them and the safety of people
and the environment is maintained.
Advantages of using halogen-free cables: a step towards safety and health
Compared to conventional cables, halogen-free cable has several advantages that make it necessary to use it in different places.
Safety: The most important advantage of halogen-free cables is increased safety against fire. During a fire, instead
of emitting smoke and dangerous toxic gases, these types of cables release water vapor and harmless gases.
This makes it possible to maintain people's visibility in emergency situations and make fire extinguishing
and evacuation operations easy.
Health: Inhaling smoke and toxic gases caused by common cable fires can lead to respiratory problems, eye irritation
and even death. By not emitting these toxic gases, halogen-free cables play an important role in maintaining
people's health during fires.
Environment: Harmful chemicals are used in the production process of ordinary cables that can cause serious
damage to the environment. Halogen-free cables, using halogen-free materials, are considered as a step
towards preserving the health of the environment.
Longevity: Due to the use of quality materials in the production of halogen-free cables, these types of
cables have a higher lifespan than ordinary cables. This makes them economically more affordable in the long run.
Various applications: Halogen-free cables are used in various places such as hospitals, schools, office centers,
residential complexes, tunnels, subways and various industries due to their many advantages.
Various applications of halogen-free cable: safety everywhere
Halogen-free cable is used in a wide variety of places and industries due to its many advantages.
The most important applications of these types of cables are:
Public places: hospitals, schools, office centers, residential complexes, hotels, restaurants and entertainment centers.
Transportation: tunnels, subway, train, bus and plane
Industries: oil and gas, petrochemical, steel, automotive and textile industries
Wet environments: swimming pools, saunas and sewage treatment plants
High fire risk locations: warehouses, parking lots and data centers
The use of halogen-free cable in these places significantly increases the safety of people and property against fire.
Guide to choosing a halogen-free cable: tips you should know
Choosing the right halogen-free cable for each project requires checking and paying attention to various points.
In this section, we will mention some of the most important of these points.
Type of application and installation location: The first step is to determine the type of application and installation
location of the cable. Halogen-free cables are produced in different voltages and cross-section levels (size)
and are suitable for different places such as residential, commercial and industrial buildings.
According to the type of application and installation location, you should choose the cable with the
appropriate voltage and cross section.
Environmental conditions: When choosing a halogen-free cable, you should pay attention to environmental
conditions such as ambient temperature, humidity, and the possibility of corrosive chemicals.
