FR-LSH · IS 694

Fire Free

A self-extinguishing compound with a higher oxygen index. If a fire does start, it gives off far less smoke and acid gas, which keeps escape routes visible.

About this wire

Flame-retardant, low smoke & halogen

Fire Free is a single-core, unsheathed flexible copper house wire insulated with flame-retardant, low smoke and halogen (FR-LSH) PVC. It is rated 1100 V and conforms to IS 694.

The compound has a higher oxygen index, which means it needs more oxygen than ordinary PVC to keep burning, and it self-extinguishes once the flame source is gone. If it does burn, it releases far less smoke and acid gas.

That matters most in buildings where many people share corridors and stairs, because in most fires smoke harms people before flames reach them.

Where to use it

  • Apartments and housing societies
  • Offices, shops and showrooms
  • Hotels, hostels and restaurants
  • Conduits that run along escape routes
