Cable Compound, Electrical Cable Insulation Material

LSZH FR Polyolefin Insulation Compound

With competitive price and timely delivery, SUNUA sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

LSZH is an acronym that stands for "low smoke zero halogen." It describes materials that emit minimal smoke and no halogen gases during combustion or high temperatures. These materials are essential in construction, manufacturing, transportation, and electronics to mitigate fire risks and safeguard human health and the environment. Examples include low smoke PVC, LSZH cable jacketing, and LSZH insulation. Contact us.

What is LSZH Insulation Material and Why is It Important?

LSZH Compound Application

LSZH insulation comprises various materials, including plastics, rubbers, and fibers.

This type of insulation is frequently employed in buildings to minimize fire risks and toxic gas emissions during a fire event.
 

LSZH Compound is typically utilized in high-risk fire environments, such as electrical and communication cables, as well as in transportation and industrial applications. Additionally, it is widely used in buildings, particularly in areas with high occupancy like offices, schools, and hospitals.

Top 4 Applications of Fire-Retardant Low-smoke Zero-Halogen Cable

The implementation of LSZH insulation enhances safety and reduces the adverse effects of fires on people and the environment. Its significance spans various projects and applications, often referenced in building codes and regulations.

5 Things to Look for When Choosing Low Smoke Zero Halogen Cable

Low smoke zero halogen cables are often termed environmentally friendly cables, utilized primarily in sensitive environments. These cables typically employ red copper wire as their core. In case of a fire, the wire sheath can continue to transmit data, mitigating the risks of data loss even while burning, and it does not drip or emit black smoke, potentially increasing escape chances by approximately 30%.

Low smoke zero halogen cables have the following five characteristics:

1. Halogen-free:

Utilizing environmentally friendly insulating layers and a special oxygen barrier, these cables not only exhibit excellent electrical, physical, and mechanical properties but also ensure halogen-free content, addressing "second pollution" issues caused by combustion and avoiding carcinogenic "dioxins" from traditional PVC cables.

2. High flame retardancy:

Low smoke zero halogen cables fulfill stringent building fire protection demands, being difficult to ignite and capable of inhibiting flame spread and disaster escalation after burning.

3. Low toxicity:

The insulation and sheath are devoid of harmful heavy metals like lead and cadmium, preventing soil and water contamination upon disposal. Furthermore, toxicity tests reveal that the white rats remain safe under specified experimental conditions.

4. No corrosive gas is generated:

These cables use innovative non-polluting coating materials that do not release HCl and other harmful gases during production, usage, and combustion, emitting minimal acidic gases to reduce risks to personnel, equipment, and instruments, ultimately being more environmentally friendly.

5. Water-proof and ultraviolet-proof:

Made with green environmental protection materials that feature unique molecular structures, these cables ensure ultra-low water absorption. Special ultraviolet absorbers grant low smoke zero halogen cables excellent UV resistance, promoting safety and extending their product lifespan.
