About this wire

Flame-retardant, halogen-free

Home Shield is a single-core, unsheathed flexible copper house wire with flame-retardant, halogen-free insulation. It is rated 1100 V, conforms to IS 694 and carries the IS 17048 mark for halogen-free flame-retardant cables.

Ordinary PVC contains chlorine. When it burns it forms hydrogen chloride, a toxic gas that also corrodes electronics. Halogen-free insulation avoids that entirely, and the flame-retardant compound resists the spread of fire along the run.

Choose it where people sleep or cannot leave quickly, and where expensive equipment would be ruined by corrosive smoke.

Where to use it

  • Bedrooms and children’s rooms
  • Hospitals, clinics and schools
  • Server rooms and control rooms
  • Premium homes and villas
