Evcco HFT (Halogen Free) Environmental & Safety Conduit
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) conduits used in construction today have a significant problem. They contain halogens, in the form of chlorine and heavy metals, which emit toxic fumes when exposed to fire, including dioxins and hydrochloric acid gas. These are a hazard for nearby people and also damages electronic equipment.
Evcco has developed a halogen-free, flame retardant replacement material that eliminates the hazards of PVC when exposed to flame and produces less smoke. This makes its conduits ideal for use in areas of high human traffic such as cinemas and airports, and especially in underground situations.
Eliminating the use of halogens also makes the products more environmentally-friendly and suitable for use in the rapidly growing green building industry.
Competing environmentally-friendly flame resistant products are based on polycarbonate and polyphenylene oxide, and deliver reduced performance at a higher cost. Evcco is based on recycled polypropylene, making it more affordable, but delivering improved performance thanks to 12 years of research and development. Evcco conduits are lighter and have a higher impact resistance than alternative products, as well as a higher resistance to ultra-violet light and general weathering, giving them a longer lifecycle.
Conduits are manufactured under ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards and are in accordance with Australian and European building standards. Conduits are available in a range of diameters from 20mm to 150mm with a comprehensive range of fittings.
Evcco conduits were first deployed in the Epping to Chatswood rail link tunnel in Sydney, and have been used in the ANZ Banking Group’s new 6 star Greenstar-rated headquarters in Melbourne’s Docklands. Additional projects are underway in Brisbane and Canberra, and the company has received strong interest from green building projects in Australia and overseas.
