Halogen-free cable ducts
for safe cable routing in demanding environments
Halogen-free cable ducts are used in installations where requirements are placed on low smoke generation, limited toxicity in the event of fire and high operational reliability.
They are a natural choice in environments where personal safety, regulations and long service life weigh more heavily than standard PVC solutions.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about halogen-free cable ducts
When are halogen-free cable ducts the right choice?
Halogen-free cable ducts are used when the consequences of fire or smoke development are critical, or where the installation environment places special demands on material properties.
Typical applications include:
Public buildings and escape routes
- Infrastructure, such as railways, tunnels and energy facilities
- Industrial environments with high safety requirements
- Applications where standards and customer requirements govern material selection
When might other solutions be more appropriate?
Halogen-free cable ducts are not always necessary in all installations.
Alternatives may be more suitable:
- In standard enclosures without specific fire requirements, PVC cable ducts may be a better choice
- In machine construction where flexibility and cost are prioritized
What does halogen-free material mean?
Halogen-free materials emit less smoke and toxic gases in the event of a fire compared to PVC-based materials.
When are halogen-free cable ducts required?
It is often governed by regulations, customer requirements or applications where personal safety is critical.
Are halogen-free cable ducts more robust than PVC?
They are developed for different requirements than PVC and are chosen primarily for safety and regulatory requirements, not for cost reasons.
What characterizes halogen-free cable ducts from Unex?
Halogen-free cable ducts from Unex are developed for installations where high demands are placed on durability, safety and long service life. They are manufactured from halogen-free materials that reduce smoke and corrosive gases in the event of a fire.
The ducts are manufactured in halogen-free U43X material with high mechanical strength and stable function over a wide temperature range.
Cable ducts from Unex are often used in:
- industrial installations
- infrastructure project
- public buildings and technical facilities
They provide a stable and reliable solution for organized cabling in control cabinets, installations and technical spaces.
When are halogen-free cable ducts from Licatec used?
Halogen-free cable ducts from Licatec are used in installations where special requirements are placed on material properties, safety and technical performance. They are developed for environments where standard ducts do not meet the requirements for, for example, mechanical strength or temperature resistance.
Characteristics:
- Various mechanical and thermal specifications
- Adapted for installations with special assembly and load requirements
- Used where standard solutions are not sufficient
Halogen-free materials are also used in installations where one wants to minimize smoke generation and corrosive gases in the event of a fire, for example in transportation, infrastructure and technical facilities.
