Advantage And Disadvantages Of LSZH Cable

Advantages of low smoke zero halogen cable

1, halogen-free: the use of green insulation, sheathing, and individual oxygen barrier materials, not only has good electrical properties, physical and mechanical properties, and to ensure that the product does not contain halogen, to solve the burning of the formation of its “secondary pollution,” to avoid the traditional PVC wire burning toxic substances.

2, low smoke and low toxicity: the use of new unique covering materials that do not pollute the environment, the production and combustion processes do not produce toxic gases, the emission of acid gas is minimal, reducing the harm to personnel and equipment. It is necessary to use low smoke halogen-free cable.

3, high flame retardancy: environmentally friendly cable to ensure that its high fire requirements of the building requirements, the cable is not easy to burn in case of fire, and can stop the spread of flame and disaster after burning. In particular, the modern construction of super high-rise buildings and current material products, when the fire increased the rescue’s difficulty. Using a low smoke halogen-free cable can increase the rescue time and reduce the harm of harmful gases to humans.

The disadvantage of low smoke zero halogen cable

Although LSZH wires are friendly to the environment, their raw materials and technology costs are more expensive than  PVC cables. PVC cables have excellent electrical conductivity, mechanical properties, and some other excellent properties. Low-smoke halogen-free cables can not yet wholly replace PVC cables, and therefore are not too widely used in terms of popularity
