The new halogen-free cables are wanted by many, particularly because they are much easier to work with but also because they reduce damages in case of fire and are free from PVC.
As easy to work with as PVC
For a long time, PVC cables have been easier to work with compared with the halogen-free ones. Not so any more. Nexans' new range of halogen-free cables are just as flexible and smooth to handle.
– One of our most important objectives is to constantly develop new products that contribute to making the installer's everyday life a little easier, says Claes Nordén, Communications Manager at Nexans in Sweden.
The difference in flexibility between the new and the old cables is especially evident with those of larger dimensions. At the same time there are other details that have been developed. They are for instance significantly more reisitant to scratches.
Fire damage reduction
The most positive effect of using halogen-free cables comes from their reduced risk of causing damages in case of fire. They produce a less dangerous smoke which is not thick and black and therefore does not prevent people from finding exits. There are also huge economic benefits in that equipment which gets exposed to the smoke is less easily damaged. This contributes to keeping production breaks smaller.
PVC-free – a good choice
Choosing halogen-free is choosing PVC-free. Additives such as plasticizing
phtalates and antimonium trioxide that are often found in PVC i slöacking completely in halogen-free cables. And no dioxines are produced when burning.
Growing product range
Three out of the 20 most common installation cables are already
of Nexans' new 2nd generation type. The range will grow successively with both "black" and "white" cables until the assortiment is complete.
