Flame Retardant Low Smoke Cables

Fire is one of the most dangerous element’s which results in adverse loss of money and resources. There have been many fire-accidents in the past due to the corrosive fumes and flickering fire of the cables. Electrical engineers involved in generation, transmission and utilization of electricity, observed the behavior of ordinary cables in highly flammable environment and identified the need to create cables that are immune to fire. Usually, all XLPE cables are layered with a protective covering of Polyvinyl Chloride also known as PVC. Although, PVC is immune to flames due to its flame retarding property. With the contact of fire, it does produce highly toxic fumes which are corrosive in nature.
Flame Retardant Low Smoke PVC compound ensures low smoke emission compared to ordinary wires with PVC coating. They are less toxic in nature and emit considerably low amount of corrosive fumes. In short, they perform tasks as fire retardants.
