Halogen-free materials enhance safety in hazardous areas

摘要

Calidus Von Roll Isola, specialists in electrical insulation materials and industrial laminates, has introduced a range of halogen-free composite materials that enhance safety in hazardous areas. These Calidus halogen-free laminates are effective in fire prevention and protection, because they have low smoke emission, low toxicity, flame retardancy and high mechanical and electrical strengths. "We have recognised a need in this country for an insulation material that prevents tragic deaths as a result of fires in enclosed areas," says Ronnie Eva of Calidus Von Roll Isola. "Rapid escape from a fire is often hindered because of the halogen content of standard insulation materials which results in toxic smoke; no deterrence to the rapidity of flame propagation and no reduction of smoke density."
