Irradiation cross-linking and vulcanization line for rail and marine cable
Industry solution

Rail Transit & Marine LSZH Cable

High flame-retardant, low-smoke halogen-free and oil-resistant compounds with sheathing and cabling lines for rail and marine cables.

Application background

What this application demands

Rail and marine cables run through enclosed, occupied spaces where a fire must produce minimal smoke and no corrosive gas — and where vibration, oil and moisture are constant. LSZH supplies high flame-retardant, low-smoke halogen-free and oil-resistant compounds, with the sheathing, cabling and cross-linking equipment to build cables for these demanding environments.

Stringent fire safety

Trains, metros and ships require low smoke, low toxicity and no corrosive halogen gas, with bundled-cable flame performance such as IEC 60332-3 Category B.

Oil, fluid and moisture resistance

Cables face lubricants, fuels and humidity; insulation and sheaths must resist swelling and property loss in service.

Mechanical and vibration endurance

Continuous vibration and handling demand robust mechanical strength, elongation and abrasion resistance.

Temperature and reliability

Cross-linked 125–150 °C grades deliver the thermal endurance and long-term stability these long-life assets require.
