Comparison Results Of Fr cables

Posted by FR Cables on - -





FR Cables are highly fire resistant wire and cable which performs exceptionally good in the fire situation. In fire situations, the insulation does not burn, melt or drip to spread the fire. It does not release toxic gas like Chlorine as in the case of PVC. Hence, giving the fire victims, a visible, non toxic, convenient way to escape. 
PROPERTIES:-
Highly fire resistant
90 times more escape time available.
Chlorine free, non toxic release of gases
Anti dripping
Lesser smoke
Char promoter
