TYPE - ZHLA Non - Halogen, Low Smoke and Low Flame Spread make Type ZHLA a proven choice for applications where limiting toxic materials of combustion are an important issue. Since ZHLA is also UL listed, it is ideal for field installation in confined, public areas such as subways, tunnels, etc.
CONSTRUCTION: ZHLA has a flexible inner core made from a spiral wound strip of heavy gauge, hot-dipped galvanized steel. The 3/8 through 1-1/4 inch trade sizes contain an integral bonding strip of copper. The 1-1/2 inch and larger are designed with a fully interlocked strip. The specially formulated thermoplastic black polyurethane jacket has excellent flame resistance and low smoke & toxicity generation characteristics. It is also resistant to Ozone, Hydrocarbons, Moderate Chemicals, Oils and Fuels.
APPLICATION: There are many situations and areas where PVC is not allowed for electrical construction. The jacketing material used for ZHLA virtually eliminates the release of acidic gases found in PVC products.
-Meets the requirements of Bombardier SMP 800-C for Toxic Gas Generation. -Meets the requirements of both ASTM E162 for Flame Spread and ASTM E662 for Smoke Generation.
