PEXIDAN HF Low Smoke Zero Halogen Compounds 

Providing the Ultimate Solution for Human Safety

Why PEXIDAN Low Smoke Zero Halogen Compounds?

During a fire in a restricted, high human occupancy area, it is estimated that people have under 4 minutes to escape from an area to safety.

It is a proven fact that people do not die from the flame in a fire but more often because they are overcome by smoke, the inability to see their way to an exit, and breathing toxic fumes and gases. 

Unfortunate Natural Disasters

Smoke

• In many fires, inhalation and limited visibility can be fatal.
• PEXIDAN HF X/T and HF V/T produce very reduced amounts of smoke.
• At 4 minutes, the smoke density is about less 200x less than halogenated systems. 

Halogenated Acid Gas

• Smoke from halogenates systems contain acid gas and is very toxic.
• It can also lead to corrosion of premises and electrical equipment.
• A typical halogenated XLPE contains about 3.5% acid gas. PEXIDAN HF X/T and HF V/T are virtually acid gas-free.

Fire Performance 

• Halogen-free compounds must match the fire performance of halogenated systems. 
• PEXIDAN HF X/T and HF V/T have been used successfully in many high safety projects.
• PEXIDAN HF X/T and HF V/T is a unique solution for situations where fire performance is critical.
