House wires

What is the difference between Shock Free, Fire Free and Home Shield?

All three are single-core flexible copper wires to IS 694. Shock Free is heat-resistant and flame-retardant (HRFR). Fire Free adds low smoke and reduced halogen (FR-LSH). Home Shield is halogen-free, so it gives off no corrosive gas if it burns.

What sizes and lengths are available?

From 0.5 to 6 sq mm in 90 m, 180 m and 200 m coils, depending on the grade. Larger single-core sizes from 10 to 400 sq mm are made to order.

What colours do you make?

Red, yellow, blue, black and green as standard, plus white in 90 m coils. Other colours can be made on request.

Are your wires ISI marked?

Yes. Our house wires and flexible cables conform to IS 694 and carry the ISI mark. Conductors follow IS 8130, class 5 flexible.

Do you make solar cable?

Yes. Our solar DC cable has a tinned copper conductor and zero-halogen XLPO insulation, is UV resistant, TÜV certified and conforms to EN 50618. Sizes are 2.5, 4, 6 and 10 sq mm.
