What is a RoHS-Compliant Electrical Wire? LION Environmentally Friendly Power Cables – RoHS-Compliant Products Connecting a Green Future
In today’s industrial and residential electrical sectors, the RoHS standard is gaining significant attention due to its ability to protect user health and mitigate environmental impacts. With the goal of sustainable development and a vision focused on “Connecting a Green Future,” LION has upgraded its popular building wire lines—including CV, VCm, and VCmd—with RoHS-compliant plastic insulation materials. This offers a safe, durable, and modern solution for any construction project.
1. What is RoHS?
RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) is a standard restricting the use of specific hazardous materials in electrical and electronic equipment. Governed by Directives 2011/65/EU and 2015/863, it restricts dangerous substances such as:
- Lead (Pb)
- Mercury (Hg)
- Cadmium (Cd)
- Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)
- Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers (PBDE)
- Bis(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP), Butyl benzyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP)
Products that achieve RoHS compliance minimize health risks to humans and are significantly more environmentally friendly throughout their operational lifespan and recycling process.
2. What Makes RoHS-Compliant Plastic in Electrical Wires Special?
The plastic insulation layer plays a critically important role in the overall quality of an electrical wire. For the LION RoHS electrical cable product line, the company utilizes a specialized PVC material that does not contain hazardous substances exceeding the legally permitted thresholds.
Outstanding Characteristics of RoHS PVC:
- Excellent and Stable Insulation
- Thermal & Flame Resistance
- High Mechanical Durability, Crack and Tear Resistance
- Eco-Friendly & Safe for Human Health
3. Recommended RoHS-Compliant LION Product Lines for Residential Applications
