No smoke and no fire F
lexicon’s new liquid tight flexible conduit LTPLFH has an IP rating of up to IP69k and a low fire hazard rating. It has ‘Authorised for use’ status on the London Underground Approved Products Register and offers compliance with LU standard 1-085 for limited and dispersed applications.
As a low fire hazard product LTPLFH is highly flame retardant, has low smoke emissions, low toxicity, is halogen, sulphur and phosphorous free and is self- extinguishing.
It has a galvanized steel core, which provides a high mechanical strength and a low fire hazard (LFH) polyolefin outer sheath that is oil resistant. The conduit has also been vibration and shock tested to EN61373 and can withstand temperatures from -25oC to 90oC. Tim Creedon, sales and marketing director said: ‘As a company we have more LUL approved flexible conduit systems than any other manufacturer and this launch further enhances this choice. As a UK based manufacturer we can respond more quickly to projects with product and technical help and can accommodate specials more quickly, whether to supply bespoke lengths or ready-made assemblies.’ LTPLFH is available in diameters ranging from 16mm to 32mm, with
Let there be light with Fhoss S
upplier of PPE equipment, Fhoss Technology, has launched a range of high visibility garments for the rail industry. The Weston-super-Mare based company has designed, manufactured and patented what it says is the next generation in
PPE, which lights up even in areas of total darkness. Unlike standard PPE, which only works by reflecting off an additional light source, Fhoss works through the presence of a battery operated electroluminescent core, which actively emits light. This means that the tape illuminates even when no ambient light is available. Fhoss, which takes its name from the Greek saying, ‘Where there is light, there is life’, was invented by CEO Andy Kimitri who saw the need to progress standard PPE which has remained unchanged for the past 50 years. Said Kimitri: ‘By introducing Fhoss to the PPE arena, we pledge to help bring about a change in culture for the way in which railway companies protect their workers. We believe strongly that our technology has the capability to save lives. With nights closing in and the time between dawn and dusk extending, there is a greater need for railway workers to be protected.’
Fhoss equipment, which is made in the UK and the Far East, is compliant with all PPE industry regulations (including EN471 and GO/RT3279) and is fully recyclable. The garments are certified for more than 25 washes, will operate for up to 20,000 hours and can be charged over 500 times. Visit
