Halogen-free cables are applied in sensitive areas such as public buildings, institutions or railway vehicles and in areas where the overall safety requirements for cables are very high. These cables are halogen-free as well as flame retardant, self-extinguishing and flame spread prevention.
Halogen-free cables are widely used in machine tools, assembly lines, production lines, conveying systems, rail technologies and control panels such as these.
Halogens are nonmetals that are prone to reaction. The electronegativity of these elements is high. In nature, they are generally in the form of minerals. In general, some elements known as dangerous and toxic are called halogen. These elements are chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine.
When a halogenated cable burns, the hydrochloride is released and combines with the gases in the air to form hydrochloric acid. This acid damages both health and environment. Therefore, halogen-free cables used in recent years have been effective in increasing security.
Halogen-free cables are known as flame retardant cables during fire. In the meantime, when burned, they do not emit dense fumes and emit toxic gases. In this way, they are extremely effective in increasing the safety of life in buildings.
Halogen-free cables are most commonly used in hospitals, schools, hotels, shopping malls, cinemas and theaters, subway and road tunnels, airplanes, airport terminal buildings, railways and public housing.
There are many tests in accordance with international standards to control the operation of cables in a non-hazardous manner. These tests are performed after the production of fire resistant cables and the behavior of the cables during a possible fire is examined.
The following are a few standards that are based on halogen free tests by competent authorities:
TS EN 60332-1 Electrical and optical fiber cable tests at risk of fire
TS EN 61034 Measurement of smoke density of burning cables under specified conditions
TS EN 60754-1 Cables - Test for gases released during combustion of electrical cables - Part 1: Determination of the amount of halogen acid gas
The application is received, the contract and then the product, vehicle and vehicles for which, what kind of service is determined exactly.
The necessary laboratory environment is prepared and the products, tools and instruments requested by the organization are tested by experts with the reference of the existing standards and measurements are made.
The data obtained as a result of meticulously completed tests, measurements and analyzes are evaluated and accredited approved reports are submitted by expert engineers.
