LSZH Cable Material: A Modern Choice for Safety and Sustainability
1. What is LSZH Material?
LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) is a high-performance cable material designed to emit minimal smoke and no halogen compounds when burned. Unlike traditional materials (e.g., PVC), which release toxic gases (e.g., hydrogen chloride) and dense smoke, LSZH uses advanced formulations to enhance fire safety.
Key Features:
- Low Smoke Density: Improves visibility during fires for safer evacuation.
- Halogen-Free Flame Retardancy: Eliminates corrosive/toxic gas emissions.
- Eco-Friendly Compliance: Meets IEC 60754, EN 50399, RoHS, and REACH standards.
2. Applications
LSZH cables are critical in high-safety environments:
2. Public Infrastructure: Hospitals, shopping malls, skyscrapers.
3. Industrial & Energy: Oil refineries, nuclear plants, data centers.
4. New Energy: EV charging stations, solar farms.
