Non-Halogenated Film Tapes (HF Compliant)
-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --
Next-Generation Tapes for Halogen-Free Environmental Compliance
Non-Halogenated (HF Compliant) Film Tapes are explicitly engineered with formulations that exclude all intentionally added halogens (Chlorine, Bromine, Fluorine, Iodine, Astatine) and their compounds, particularly in the adhesive and film layers. This compliance is essential for the electronics, automotive, and IT industries seeking to meet stringent environmental and fire safety regulations, as the release of halogens during combustion can create highly corrosive and toxic smoke. These tapes, typically based on specialized PET, PE, or non-woven backings with halogen-free acrylic adhesives, maintain full-performance integrity while reducing the environmental impact and improving fire safety profiles for consumer and industrial products.
- HF Compliance: Meets industry standards for the exclusion of harmful halogen elements.
- Reduced Toxicity: Minimizes the release of corrosive and toxic smoke in case of fire.
- Global Regulation Ready: Essential for products entering markets with strict environmental guidelines.
Why Choose Us
Environmental Safety and Verified Performance
- Verifiable Low Halogen Content: We provide testing reports from internal or external laboratories (e.g., SGS) confirming that the concentration of halogens in the final product is below the industry-recognized threshold (often ≤900 ppm Chlorine and Bromine).
- Improved Public Safety: By eliminating halogenated compounds, the tape significantly reduces the production of highly corrosive hydrogen chloride (HCl) and hydrogen bromide (HBr) gases during fire incidents.
- Zero Compromise on Function: The transition to HF compliance is achieved without sacrificing critical performance parameters such as peel adhesion, insulation resistance, or temperature endurance.
- Simplified Global Procurement: Using verified HF-compliant materials simplifies the product declaration and documentation required to sell finished goods in regulated markets worldwide.
Core Features
Key Sectors Mandating Halogen-Free Materials
- Consumer Electronics (IT): Internal wire bundling, component fixing, and insulation in servers, computers, and mobile devices where HF compliance is often a specific customer mandate (e.g., Dell, HP, Apple).
- Telecommunications: Fixing and insulating cables and components in sensitive network equipment and data centers.
- Automotive Interiors: Used for wire harness bundling and dashboard assembly where reduced smoke toxicity is a growing safety requirement.
- Rail/Public Transport: Sealing and insulating materials used in cabin construction to reduce fire-related smoke hazards for passengers.

SXT: Proactive Leadership in Green Material Sourcing
SXT views the move to halogen-free materials as a critical step in modern manufacturing responsibility. Our R&D team has successfully transitioned key product lines to non-halogenated formulations without compromising adhesion, temperature resistance, or mechanical strength. This proactive approach supports our clients, particularly major electronics and appliance OEMs, in meeting their internal environmental goals and external regulatory mandates (e.g., certain UL standards, specific corporate chemical policies). We provide full analytical documentation (XRF, ICP) to verify the low or zero halogen content.
Usage Guide
Halogen-Free Compliance: Material Strategy
| Tape Feature | Non-Compliant Material | SXT HF Compliant Material | Compliance Metric |
| Backing Film | Certain PVC compounds (often contain Chlorine) | Specialized Halogen-Free PET or PE film | Verification of material composition |
| Flame Retardant | Halogenated FR compounds (e.g., PBB, PBDE) | Inorganic FR additives (e.g., Aluminum Hydroxide) | Test against IEC 61249-2-21 standards |
| Adhesive Base | Conventional synthetic rubber | High-purity, Halogen-Free Acrylic or Silicone | Analysis of chemical components |
| Smoke/Fumes | High corrosivity, high toxicity | Reduced corrosivity, lower toxicity | Corrosivity test (e.g., IEC 60754) |

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: What is the main difference between "Halogen-Free" and "Flame Retardant" tape?
- A: Flame Retardant (FR) means the tape resists burning, often achieved using halogenated chemicals. Halogen-Free (HF) means the tape is made without halogens but must use safer, non-halogen FR additives (if FR is needed), focusing on fire safety rather than just fire prevention.
- Q: If a tape is Halogen-Free, does that mean it is automatically RoHS/REACH compliant?
- A: No. Halogen-Free addresses a specific set of chemicals (Halogens). RoHS restricts ten heavy metals/compounds, and REACH restricts thousands of SVHCs. A material must be specifically certified for all three independent standards to meet all requirements.
- Q: Is the cost of HF-compliant tape significantly higher than standard tape?
- A: While the specialized, high-purity raw materials required for HF compliance are generally more expensive than conventional materials, SXT's factory-direct production model mitigates this difference, providing competitive pricing for high-volume orders.
