PENTAIR INTRODUCES ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED Solon, OH. – March 28, 2017 – Pentair announces the introduction of ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED, a new flexible busbar conductor that improves the safety of electrical installations. The ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED features new insulation on its flexible busbar that reduces the quantity of toxic smoke, the emission of corrosive fumes and the opacity of smoke in the case of a fire.
The ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED’s unique, industry-leading insulation material is the result of years of dedicated research to discover a material that is low smoke, halogen-free and flame retardant all while maintaining the level of flexibility that customers expect from ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR. These key features mean increased safety for individuals, less damage on electrical equipment and less environmental impact through: - Producing a relatively low smoke opacity in accordance with ISO 5659-2
- Improving visibility conditions in a fire, allowing for easier identification of emergency exits and clearer conditions for rescue works when assessing and handling an emergency situation
- Minimizing toxicity by not containing any halogens in accordance to IEC 60754-1
- Limiting quantity of smoke that is less damaging to your electrical power conduction
- Meeting safety standards according to UL 94-VO, which includes flame retardant benefits such as being self-extinguishing and reducing the risk of the spread of fire
With these benefits, the ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED is ideal for enclosed spaces, such as data centers, rail and high-traffic locations such as schools and hospitals. By being halogen-free, the ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED is also available in specific application installations, such as submarines, switchboards, oil and gas, petrochemical and other enclosed environments that require low emissions solutions.
“The ERIFLEX FLEXIBAR ADVANCED offers industries such as energy, transportation and marine, a unique solution that is compliant with main fire regulations standard in terms of low smoke, halogen-free and flame retardant materials,” said Océane Faure-Barnier, ERIFLEX marketing manager. “By improving the safety of enclosed electrical installations, our customers can be confident that in the case of an emergency, toxic smoke and the opacity of smoke are reduced.”
