What Are Halogen-Free Materials?

Halogen-free materials (Halogen-Free, HF) are materials that contain little to no halogen elements such as chlorine (Cl) and bromine (Br).

These materials are widely used in electronics and electrical products to reduce the release of toxic or corrosive gases during combustion, improving safety and environmental performance.

Key Characteristics of Halogen-Free Materials

Halogen-Free Material Standards

Common industry limits include:

Different customers or industries may have slightly different requirements, but the core concept remains the same: reducing halogen content.

Common Types of Halogen-Free Materials

Halogen-Free vs Conventional Materials
