The new Rapid 80 GKH device installation trunking made of halogen-free plastic

Considerably fewer hazardous substances in the event of fire

Menden. OBO now offers the tried-and-trusted Rapid 80 device installation trunking as the Rapid 80 GKH made of halogen-free plastic. If there is a fire, the material produces considerably less corrosive fire gases than normal plastics. In addition, OBO can offer two further halogen-free cable routing systems: The WDKH wall and ceiling trunking and VKH wiring trunking for switchgear cabinets.

Rapid 80 GKH: More safety in public areas

The new Rapid 80 GKH halogen-free device installation trunking allows rapid access to power and data on the wall and provides more safety, if there is a fire in the building. The device installation trunking is available in the widths 130 and 170 mm. All the fittings are also halogen-free. Typical areas of application for the Rapid 80 GKH device installation trunking are public facilities and offices. Increasingly, halogen-free installation materials are required for areas in which many people meet.

Halogen-free plastic as a lifesaver

The halogen-free cable routing systems from OBO Bettermann are manufactured from the high-quality plastic polycarbonate/acryl nitrile-butadiene-styrene (PC/ABS). PC/ABS is free from organic chlorine and bromine compounds and is one of the self-extinguishing plastics. If there is a fire, this material produces considerably less corrosive fire gases than normal plastics, such as PVC, and there is much less smoke development. Fire gases, such as carbon monoxide or hydrochloric acid, are lethal to people – halogen-free installation material can therefore save lives during a fire. Corrosive fire gases such as hydrochloric acid or ammonia can also cause immense damage to the building structure.

Halogen-free OBO cable routing systems

The new Rapid 80 GKH device installation system supplements the existing halogen-free cable routing systems from OBO Bettermann. The WDKH wall and ceiling trunking and the VKH wiring trunking for switchgear cabinets are also made of halogen-free PC/ABS and provide increased safety in the event of fire.
