What is an environmentally friendly cable, and what are its characteristics?
Environmentally friendly cables refer to wires and cables that do not contain lead, cadmium, hexavalent chromium , mercury and other heavy metals, do not contain brominated flame retardants, do not produce harmful halogen gases, do not produce corrosive gases, generate less heat when burned, and do not pollute the soil.
1, high flame retardant
environmentally friendly cables fully guarantee their high fire protection requirements. The cables are not easy to burn in the event of a fire and can prevent the spread and expansion of the flame after combustion.
2, halogen-free
adopt green and environmentally friendly insulation layer, sheath and special oxygen barrier material. They not only have good electrical properties, physical and mechanical properties, but also ensure that the product does not contain halogen, which solves the "secondary pollution" formed when it is burned and avoids the carcinogenic "dioxin" substances produced when traditional PVC wires are burned.
3, low-toxicity
insulation and sheathing do not contain lead, cadmium and other heavy metals that are harmful to the human body. They will not pollute soil and water sources when the cable is used and discarded, and have undergone rigorous toxicity tests.
4 and do not produce corrosive gases.
adopts new special coating materials that are non-polluting to the environment. They will not produce toxic gases such as HCL during production, use and combustion. They emit very little acid gas, causing little damage to personnel, equipment and instruments, and are more environmentally friendly.
5, high light transmittance
The smoke generated when the cable burns is extremely thin, which is conducive to the evacuation of personnel and the progress of fire-fighting work. The light transmittance of the product is greater than 40%, which is much higher than the standard of less than 20% for traditional flame-retardant cables.
6, waterproof, UV-resistant
adopt green environmentally friendly materials with special molecular structure to ensure ultra-low water absorption. The special UV absorber makes the product have good UV protection function. It ensures the safety of use of this type of product and extends its service life.
At present, the most representative green and environmentally friendly cables mainly include flame-retardant cables, , fire-resistant cables, etc. Among them, some high-end products such as low-smoke halogen-free wires, cables, and irradiated cables are increasing in usage. Low-smoke halogen-free cables are mainly used in rail transit, hospitals, schools and other social places.
With the continuous improvement of national policies and the continuous improvement of national safety and environmental awareness, consumers have higher and higher requirements for the safety and environmental protection performance of home decoration wires. In order to call on everyone to advocate a more scientific and green lifestyle and use more environmentally friendly wires and cables, Huaqiang Cable will definitely bring more green and environmentally friendly products to everyone. I hope everyone can devote themselves to this eternal theme and contribute to environmental protection!
