Spectra-Strip's high temperature (+150°
C) Low Smoke / Halogen Free Zip cable is extruded with a very flame retardant, non-halogenated copolymer, ideal for
use in closed environments where ventilation is poor, such as subways, elevators,
and ships. It is designed to reduce the generation of toxic and corrosive gases that are emitted from typical PVC
insulated cables during combustion. These gases can injure personnel enclosed within these confined spaces and can
also corrode delicate components within electronic equipment. Many well-documented cases exist of extensive injury
and death occurring as a result of fires involving these PVC generated toxic gasses, e.g., the London Subway fire,
the Beverly Hills Supperclub fire, the Dusseldorf Airport fire, and the HMS Sheffield sinking.
