FR PVC
APAR’s Single Core Flexible Wires and Cables with Flame Retardant (FR) PVC insulation are engineered as highly versatile and safe solutions for a broad spectrum of low voltage electrical installations. These energy-efficient flexible wires are widely utilized in critical applications such as electrical motors, diverse electrical appliances, intricate control panels, efficient DC power transformers, comprehensive electrical boards, and robust battery cable connections. The conductors themselves are meticulously crafted from finely drawn annealed bare copper strands of electrolytic grade, ensuring optimal energy conservation and delivering superior flexibility for seamless installation processes. A hallmark of APAR’s manufacturing excellence is the insulation, produced using advanced Twin Screw technology with an in-house specially formulated FR PVC compound, which guarantees exceptional dielectric strength and high insulation resistance for enhanced electrical safety and longevity.
Flame Retardant
High Oxygen and Temperature Index make it fire retardant and self-extinguishing. The cable doesn’t catch fire on its own.
Longer Life
Uncompromised durability, delivering extended lifespan for reliable performance over the long haul.
Energy Savings
Energy-efficient cable, powering sustainability with every connect.
Better Flexibility
Unleashing versatility, providing superior maneuverability for seamless installations in tight spaces.
Features & Advantages
These APAR FR PVC cables offer significant advantages in fire safety for residential and commercial wiring. Their unique formulation provides a high degree of thermal stability and impressive fire performance metrics, including a high critical Oxygen Index (>) and Temperature Index (>). These characteristics ensure that the cables effectively restrict the spread of fire in the unlikely event of an electrical short circuit or external ignition. The insulation material also exhibits improved self-extinguishing properties, meaning the flame will not sustain itself once the ignition source is removed. This combination of features makes APAR’s FR PVC cables a reliable choice for fire protection in electrical systems, contributing significantly to overall building safety standards.
