HFFR Insulation and Sheathing Materials for Cables

Today, with the increase in environmental and safety standards, it has become important that the materials used in cabling systems comply with these standards. Halogen-free flame retardant (HFFR) materials have been developed to meet these requirements. In this article, you can find information about the properties, advantages and application areas of HFFR insulation and sheathing materials.

What is HFFR Cable?

HFFR (Halogen-Free Flame Retardant) materials are materials that do not contain halogen elements such as chlorine, fluorine, bromine, iodine and have flame retardant properties. HFFR Cables produced with these materials emit less smoke and toxic gas during fire, causing less damage to human health and the environment.

Properties of HFFR Cable Insulation and Sheathing Materials

1. Halogen Free Cable Construction:
   HFFR materials do not contain halogens and thus prevent the formation of corrosive and toxic gases from cables during fire.
2. Flame Retardant Cable Construction :
   These materials slow down the spread of flame on the cable during a fire, making it easier to control the fire.
3. Low Smoke Density Cables:
   HFFR materials produce minimal smoke during a fire, which facilitates evacuation and rescue operations in emergency situations.
4. High Mechanical Strength Cables:
   These materials offer high resistance to mechanical abrasion and impact, resulting in a long cable life.
5. Environmentally Friendly Cables:
   HFFR materials are produced from environmentally safe components and are recyclable.

Advantages of HFFR Cable Insulation and Sheathing Materials

• Safety The absence of toxic and corrosive gases during a fire provides a safer environment for human health.
• Environmental Compatibility: Thanks to its halogen-free structure, it causes less damage to the environment and can be recycled.
• High Performance: It offers a long-lasting and reliable performance with its mechanical strength and flame retardant properties.

Usage Areas of HFFR Insulation and Sheathing Materials in Cables

HFFR materials are widely used in a variety of industries and applications:

• Building and Construction: In electrical cables in buildings where fire safety is critical.
• Transportation: In areas with high human traffic such as trains, subways and airports.
• Telecommunications: Data centers and communication infrastructures.
• Industrial Applications: In high-risk areas such as chemical plants, oil refineries and power plants.

HFFR cable insulation and sheathing materials stand out as high performance and durable materials that comply with safety and environmental standards. These materials are especially preferred in areas where fire safety is critical.
