Halogen-free cable routing systems
Halogen-free cable routing systems
Low smoke gas production, low corrosion, safe.Halogen-free installation materials belong in any fireprotection plan.
This is what it's all about:• If there is a fire, halogen-free materials reduce the
amount of toxic smoke gases.They do not create any corrosive substances.
• In many public buildings, insurance companiesrequire halogen-free materials to protect people andproperty.
•Particularly in public areas, halogen-free OBO cablerouting systems are a safe choice.
Dangerous smoke gases from plasticsPlastics have good insulating properties and can beprocessed easily. However, during a fire, they cancreate aggressive gases. A danger to people andproperty.
Heavy smoke creationFlame-protection agents, based on halogencompounds such as fluorine, iodine, chlorine andbromine, are used to keep the flammability of PVClow. If there is a fire, this safety aspect becomes adangerous disadvantage: Toxic smoke gases, suchas carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, are created.These usually endanger people far faster than flamesand heat. For example, in the fire catastrophe atDüsseldorf Airport in 1996 or in the Tauern Tunnel in1999, considerable quantities of burned plasticscontributed to the formation of smoke and hazardoussubstances. A highly toxic mixture, which can belethal after just a few breaths.
Corrosive fire gasesPVC releases corrosive hydrogen chloride gas, which,in conjunction with water, forms hydrochloric acid.Hydrochloric acid has a highly caustic effect on therespiratory channels. As an electrically conductivesubstance, it can cause short circuits and destroydevices. Further corrosive combustion gas productsare cyanide and ammonia. In addition, extremely toxicdioxins can damage the building to such an extentthat the reconstruction of parts of the building is veryexpensive or even impossible.
Therefore, from a fire protection perspective, halogen-free installation materials are a safe alternative. TheAssociation of Property Insurers also prescribeshalogen-free materials for building areas in whichmany people meet. The term "halogen-free" excludesany organic chlorine or bromine compounds.

The new standard for cable routingwith plastic trunking
OBO halogen-free cable routing systems protectpeople, the environment and property. All theproducts are made from high-quality PC/ABS(polycarbonate/acrylonitrile butadiene styrene). Thismaterial is one of the self-extinguishing plastics.
For safe cable routing, OBO can offer halogen-freeWDKH wall and ceiling trunking, as well as halogen-free VKH wiring trunking for switching cabinetconstruction. A new feature of the product range isthe Rapid 80 device installation system GKH, which iscompletely halogen-free, along with all of its fittings.OBO makes the three cable routing systems availablein all the standard dimensions. They are easy tomount and are stable, are produced to a high level ofquality and are dimensionally stable.
Rapid 80 GKH halogen-freeRapid 80 device installation trunking allows flexibleand quick access to energy and data on the wall. Itis primarily used in public facilities and offices.
WDKH halogen-freeOBO wall and ceiling trunking ensures safe cablerouting. It can be used as wall or ceiling trunking.
VKH halogen-freeOBO wiring trunking from our Dahl system ensurestidy, clear wiring in a switching cabinet.
The safety aspects
•Low smoke creation•Low toxicity of the smoke gases•Scarcely any release of corrosive gases•Perfectly suited for public areas
