Savera Group of Industries has introduced FRLS – Flame Retardant Low Smoke electrical cables which are manufactured by using electrolytic (EC) grade copper to ensure superior conductivity. Insulated with extra thick FRLS Insulating compound, Savera Champion FRLS has special flame retardant and low smoke emitting properties. During a fire, ordinary PVC insulated wires give out thick, black smoke and toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid gas. This impairs visibility and hampers rescue operations. Savera Champion FRLS, on the contrary, emits very little smoke and toxic gasses and also retards the spread of gas. It is thus ideal for concealed and conduit wiring in multi-storeyed buildings such as hotels, banks, hospitals, commercial & residential complexes, etc.
