2025-12-18

Environmental protection policies have become a strong driving force for the development of halogen-free wire and cable. Many countries and regions have issued mandatory standards, requiring that wires and cables used in public buildings, transportation and other fields must be halogen-free and low-smoke. For example, the EU's RoHS directive and REACH regulation have clear restrictions on the content of halogen elements in electrical products, and my country has also included halogen-free wire and cable in the promotion catalog of green building materials, providing policy support for its application. These policies have not only expanded the market demand for halogen-free wire and cable, but also promoted the standardization and upgrading of the industry, prompting enterprises to increase investment in R&D and improve product quality.

In the in-depth cultivation of key application scenarios, halogen-free wire and cable has formed targeted product solutions. In the rail transit field, aiming at the characteristics of dense personnel and long fire rescue time in subway and high-speed rail, halogen-free flame-retardant cables with low smoke density and low toxicity are developed, which can ensure the safety of personnel evacuation and the normal operation of emergency equipment when a fire occurs. In the field of new energy storage, combined with the requirements of battery energy storage systems for safety and environmental protection, halogen-free cables with good heat dissipation and chemical stability are launched to avoid safety hazards caused by cable failure. In the field of data centers, halogen-free cables with low signal interference and high temperature resistance are developed to adapt to the high-density and high-heat working environment of data centers.

The industry development trend of halogen-free wire and cable shows a pattern of high-quality and diversified development. On the one hand, enterprises are continuously improving the performance of products, such as developing halogen-free cables with higher flame-retardant levels and better mechanical properties to meet more stringent application requirements. On the other hand, the product category is gradually enriched, including halogen-free power cables, control cables, communication cables and other series, covering the entire chain of power transmission and signal transmission. At the same time, the recycling technology of halogen-free cable waste is constantly making progress, realizing the closed-loop of green production and recycling, and further enhancing the environmental protection value of the product. With the deepening of global environmental protection governance, halogen-free wire and cable will usher in a broader development space.
