Global Low Smoke Halogen-Free Cable Materials Market Definition

Low smoke halogen-free, also known as low smoke zero halogens (LSZH) is a type of plastic material classification used in the wire and cable industry for cable jacketing. When exposed to fire, LSZH cable jacketing is made of thermoplastic or thermoset compounds that emit minimal smoke and no halogen. These cables produce less thick smoke and nearly no highly toxic gases called halogens than standard materials like polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP).

Low-smoke, halogen-free cable cables are utilized in a variety of indoor applications, including public areas, poorly ventilated areas, and other potentially hazardous environments. Cars, railway carriages, aircraft, and ships all use LSZH sheathed cables. Sheathed cables with an LSZH sheath are also used in tunnels and underground rail networks. The Low Smoke Halogen-Free Cable Materials Market is growing owing to enhanced usage in industries such as automotive, industrial, construction, and electrical & electronics.

Low smoke without halogen link is used in applications where low-smoke age, low harmfulness, and low destructiveness are required, such as mechanical, shipboard, quick travel, and business fields, where hardware and human security are of utmost importance. LSZH is commonly used in areas with poor ventilation, such as plenums, airplanes, rail cars, and tunnels, where smoke is likely to accumulate and come into contact with people. Low-smoke zero-halogen material is becoming increasingly popular, and it may be required when people and equipment’s safety is at risk.

Global Low Smoke Halogen-Free Cable Materials Market Overview

Rising safety concerns regarding fire, the growing need for flame retardant plastics in the construction electrical & electronics, automotive industries are fueling the market expansion. Low smoke zero halogen cable considerably decreases the amount of toxic and corrosive gas emitted during combustion. When burned, a low-smoke zero-halogen cable produces a less optically dense smoke that releases at a lower rate. During a fire, a low-smoke cable is desirable because it minimizes the amount and density of the smoke, which makes exiting a space easier for occupants as well as increases the safety of firefighting operations.

Aircraft, rail carriages, tanks, subsea and offshore equipment, submarines, and ships are all examples of places where this type of material is commonly used. It is also used in the rail industry, wherever high voltage or track signal wires must be run into and through tunnel systems. Rising government regulations regarding fire safety concerns have been driving the Global Low Smoke Halogen-Free Cable Materials Market. For instance, The European government witnessed a massive growth in the construction industry. To continue with this, the European Union (EU) has created the Construction Product Regulation (CPR). The regulation proposed by the EU is laid to control the limits of dangerous substances in materials that are used during construction.

This regulation is applied to all products which are to be fixed permanently in the construction. In respect to cables, the regulation applies to telecommunication, power, and control cables. Moreover, now, it has become a mandate for all the installed cables to comply with the CPR regulation. However, high initial investment costs and raw material costs might restrain the overall growth of the Low Smoke Halogen-Free Cable Materials Market at a global level. Furthermore, the rapid pace of industrialization and urbanization in developing economies of the Asia Pacific region has lucrative growth opportunities for the market of low smoke halogen-free cable materials.
