Fumes and corrosive agents are the primary reasons of death during a fire:

- Smoke reduces visibility, blocking peoples exit;
- Carbon monoxide dramatically increases heart rate causing panic;
- Fumes given off reduce oxygen causing suffocation and death.

Duraflam* compound is a unique sheathing material developed by BETACAVI to standardize and optimize installation costs and guarantee extremely high safety and security standards.

Duraflam is a Low Smoke Zero Halogen material designed for Universal applications (Indoor and Outdoor use) according the most severe international standards:



KEY FEATURES

- Very low emission of carbon monoxide (CO);
- Halogen Free;
- UV resistance;
- Watertight material;
- Indoor and outdoor applications.

APPLICATION

- Residential: in house wiring, last mile cabling;
- Industrial: small, medium and arge manufacturing complexes;
- Public Buildings: airports, hospitals, cinemas, concert halls, banks, trade centre’s, post offices.

DURAFLAM is available for the cables N35, N35H, N48, N48H, N71 and N71Cu.

A very important scientific study has shown how toxic fumes (CO, CO2) and corrosive agents are the primary cause of death.

    

Carbon dioxide (CO2), in enclosed spaces, increases the heartbeat dramatically causing panic.
Carbon monoxide (CO), reduces oxygen concentration in the blood causing death.

Fumes reduce visibility of exit identification and create difficulties for any rescue services.

   



Halogens reduce the perceptiveness of the people reducing muscles reaction. The fumes are extremely toxic causing irreversible damage to the breathing system.
Halogens are very corrosive to electrical and electronic equipment, furniture etc...

Therefore, BETACAVI , being very concerned for the safety of the people trying to prevent unnecessary death, has been concentrating during the last few years to develop Duraflam.

Duraflam is a compound emitting very low fumes, is halogen free and suitable for universal application (indoor and outdoor use - UV resistant).

Duraflam exceeds the most severe international standards.
