Innovation-driven, exhibits highlight the ‘science and technology + environmental protection’ dual-core strength
In this year's Western Fair, Southern Flame Retardant focused on three major achievements with the theme of ‘Smart and Safe Future’:
A new generation of ceramicised flame retardant cable: the use of nano-scale composite materials can form a hard ceramic shell in a fire, effectively blocking the spread of fire, and the life expectancy is 40% higher than that of traditional products;
Low-carbon and environmentally friendly material system: low-smoke halogen-free cable products have passed EU RoHS certification, and the amount of smoke emitted during combustion is lower than the national standard by 80%, which is in line with the global green development trend;
Intelligent fire protection solutions: integrated Internet of Things sensing technology, fire warning, energy management integration, has been applied in a number of landmark projects in Chongqing.
At the booth site, the interactive simulation experiment device visually presents the flame retardant performance of the products, attracting a large number of professional audience to experience. The person in charge of the scene, Li Chao, said: ‘We are transforming from a single product supplier to a system solution service provider, this exhibition is not only a display of technical strength, but also an opportunity to seek international cooperation.’
Based in Chongqing, the layout of the global power industry ecosystem
As a local enterprise rooted in Banan for 27 years, Southern Flame Retardant has formed a whole industry chain layout integrating R&D, production, sales and service. With the help of the West Fair platform, the company will deepen its cooperation with countries along the ‘Belt and Road’ and plan to build foreign production bases within three years, and at the same time unite with upstream and downstream enterprises to build a safe electricity alliance, and help Chongqing to build a scientific and technological innovation centre with national influence.
