Finolex is the first company to introduce Flame Retardant Low Smoke Halogen (FR-LSH) electrical wires in India. Flamegard is manufactured by using electrolytic grade copper for conductor to ensure superior activity. Insulated with FR-LSH Grade PVC compound formulated and manufactured in-house. In case of fire, Flamegard wires has special flame retardant, low smoke emitting and toxic fumes suppressing properties, with improved fire performance for FR-LSH as per IS 694: 2010 with latest amendments. During fire, ordinary PVC insulated wires give out thick black smoke and toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid gas. This impairs visibility and hampers rescue operations. Flamegard wires, on the contrary, not only emit very little smoke and toxic gases, but also retards the spread of fire. It is thus ideal for concealed and conduit wiring in multistoried high rise buildings such as hotels, banks, hospitals, factories, commercial and residential complexes, etc. where the density of people is high.
