Polycab FR Building wires are insulated with a Fire Retardant (FR) PVC Compound, specially formulated by one of our Group Companies to provide added safety. This FR PVC Compound has a high oxygen and temperature index. These properties help in restricting the spread of fire even at very high temperatures. This special compound also offers high insulation resistance and dielectric strength. These ISI marked wires meet the requirements of IS 694:1990. In addition, they also offer Fire Retardant properties which means extra protection against electric shocks, short circuits and fires.

Halogen Free Flame Retardant non-toxic smoke house wires for building wiring.
POLYCAB ZHFR Wires are recommended especially in a situation where high degree of safety of personnel and equipment are obligatory – like Hotels, Theatres, Hospitals, High-rise buildings, Commercial complexes, Centrally A.C. offices, Residential properties etc. Owing to its special insulation characteristics the wires continue to provide uninterrupted power supply even during fire – keeping alive fire alarm circuits, exit lights, Lifts & other emergency Circuits. POLYCAB ZHFR Wires are made to International standards and carry a guarantee that far exceeds the minimum requirements.
