(i) Halogen Free Appliance Cords and Cables

Concern for the environment has increased in recent years and there has been growing demand for greater attention to environmental protection. As a leader in the power cord industry, Chauˇ¦s Electrical Co., Ltd. is taking the lead by using Green Materials in our products. Initial R&D projects removed heavy metals, and now we have developed a line of Halogen-Free Appliance Cords, Cables and Power Cords to meet new industry demands.


EM cables for Japanese market

The Japanese market is moving toward EM (Ecology Material) cable as a replacement for traditional PVC cable. The new EM cable is more environmentally friendly and specifically it is halogen-free.
The EM cables used for power cords are as follows:


PVC cable type EM cable type EM cable standard PVC cable standard
VSF/HVSF EM-ESF
EM-CSF		 JCS 4501-2002 Flame and Heat
retardant polyethylene cord.
(excluding heat retardant cross
linked polyethylene)		 JIS C3306-2000 Polyvinyl Chloride Insulated Flexible Cords
VFF/HVFF EM-EFF
EM-CFF		 JCS 4501-2002 Flame and
Heat retardant polyethylene cord.
(excluding heat retardant
cross linked polyethylene)		 JIS C3306-2000 Polyvinyl Chloride Insulated Flexible Cords
VCTF/HVCTF EM-ECTF
EM-CCTF		 JCS 4501-2002 Flame and Heat
retardant polyethylene cord.
(excluding heat retardant
cross linked polyethylene)		 JIS C3306-2000 Polyvinyl Chloride Insulated Flexible Cords
VCTFK/HVCTFK EM-ECTFK
EM-CCTFK		 JCS 4501-2002 Flame and
Heat retardant polyethylene cord.
