Low Fire Hazard flexible conduit systems are require to protect personnel and property in the event of a fire and may be demanded by specifiers, occupiers, fire services and insurers.

Flexicon Flexible Conduits For Low Fire Hazard (LFH) properties:

• Highly flame retardant to prevent a fire or limit its development
• Low smoke emission in the event of a fire to enable safe evacuation
• Low toxicity in event of a fire to prevent public exposure to toxic gases
• Halogen free gives an indication of low smoke and low toxicity and rules out halogen acid gas emission - acid gas emission can destroy computer equipment and building structures. Halogens are flourine, chlorine, bromine and iodine.

All four properties: Highly Flame Retardant, Low Smoke, Low Toxicity, Halogen Free, must be present to claim LFH as halogen free does not assure low smoke and low toxicity.

A low smoke and fume product may not be self-extinguishing let alone highly flame retardant.
