Why Halogen Free?

 
     
  In the past decades, the increasing demand on cable quality is not only for its mechanical properties and flame retardancy, but also due to its influence on environment. PVC, as a commonly used material for wire and cable insulation, result in disposal and recycling problems, as well as the corrosive gases, hazardous fumes and toxicity. In addition, the legislations throughout EU nations and Japan have made an increasing prerequisite of halogen free application.
