A range of high grade polymer electrical and safety conduits is now available from EC&M Electrical Pty Ltd. The EVCCO HFT Conduit Range combines low smoke, halogen-free flame-retardant properties into a rigid conduit that’s lighter and easier to install than metal conduits.
Environmentally-friendly, these Australian-made conduits contain no safety hazards that can leach into the soil or be released into the atmosphere by fire. The conduits contain no known toxins.
EVCCO HFT conduits have been tested to AS2053:2001. They are used to carry electrical cabling in both surface and sub-surface applications. The conduits can be used within safety equipment such as aspiration systems and air sampling systems, for protection against smoke and toxicity.
Being halogen-free means there are no waste disposal issues. The material can be re-used and recycled safely, as well as used in landfill, or incinerated, without any danger to the environment.
EVCCO HFT conduits come in three forms: Enviro HFT, a low smoke, halogen-free (LSOH) conduit which confirms to UL94HB; STD HFT flame-retardant, halogen-free conduits which are low smoke and conform to UL94VO; and HiPo HFT (high performance) flame-retardant, halogen-free, low smoke conduits that conform to UL94VO. HiPo conduits have been formulated for long-term UV-resistance for applications that require this feature.
The conduits exhibit high temperature resistance, low toxicity and are non-corrosive. In the event of a fire, the conduits give off minimal flue gases. The range is complement by both standard glued-type fittings and high performance fittings to IP67.
The conduits can be wherever the visibility of the exit signs, in the event of a fire, is an important consideration, including industrial plants, lifts, refineries and other industrial installations.
Applications where there is a high concentration of people, assets or where the risk of high cost production interruption is critical are also ideal for these conduits.
