Halogen-free Cable Routing Systems

Product catalog summary

Introduction
Halogen-free cable routing systems are essential for fire protection plans due to their low smoke gas production and non-corrosive properties. These materials are particularly important in public buildings where safety and insurance requirements demand their use.

Hazards of Traditional Plastics
Traditional plastics, while good insulators, release toxic and corrosive gases during fires. Flame-protection agents in PVC can produce dangerous smoke gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, posing significant risks to human health and property. Historical incidents, such as the Düsseldorf Airport fire, highlight these dangers.

Benefits of Halogen-Free Materials
Halogen-free materials do not release corrosive substances like hydrogen chloride, which can form hydrochloric acid and cause severe damage. These materials are recommended by the Association of Property Insurers for areas with high human traffic.

OBO Halogen-Free Cable Routing Systems
OBO offers halogen-free cable routing systems made from high-quality PC/ABS, a self-extinguishing plastic. The product range includes:

Rapid 80 GKH: A flexible installation system for public facilities and offices.
WDKH: Wall and ceiling trunking for safe cable routing.
VKH: Wiring trunking for organized switching cabinet installations.

These systems are easy to install, stable, and available in standard dimensions.

Safety Aspects
The key safety features of these systems include low smoke creation, low toxicity of smoke gases, and minimal release of corrosive gases, making them ideal for public areas.
