"POLYCAB FIREBRAKE" Flame Retardant Low Smoke (FRLS) PVC Insulated Wires for Building wiring .
Copper conductor PVC Insulated PVC Insulated wires are extensively used in residential and commercial buildings for power distribution. They are used on metal/plastic conduits either embedded in plaster (concealed wiring) or fixed on the walls.
In fifties, the use of electricity in household was limited to lighting during night hours and hence concessions were offered to houlsehold to use electricity during day hours in domestic tariffs.
Today the scene has changed, a modern household has Air Conditioner, Geyser, Refrigerator, Vacuum Cleaner, Oven, Washing Machine, Kitchen Machine, Hair Drier etc. The combined connected load of the above appliances works out to be about 10 KW (14 H.P). A modern office has connected load of 5 kW per 100 Sq.Ft. of area. This concentraton of load has increased the risk of fire due to short circuit. Today 90% of the fires are attributed to electric short circuit and hence due care should be taken in selection and installation of electric cables.
PVC is a widely accepted insulating material for building wires due to its better abrasive and chemical resistance, weatherproof, electrical and fire retardant properties.
We have enhanced the fire retardant properties of PVC by adding special additives in its formulation to meet the demand of mo
Flame retardant properties of insulating materials is measured by its Oxygen Index. Oxygen Index indicates the concentration of Oxygen required in Air so that the material will burn like a candle. The Oxygen Index of normal PVC is about 25% while that of out FIRE BRAKE PVC is 30% . Apart from this, our PVC emits less smoke and HCL contents in the smoke is also less and hence fire fighting becomes easier.
