LR-FR has special flame retardant, low smoke emitting and toxic fumes suppressing properties, in addition to the properties required by IS-694:2010. In the case of fire, conventional PVC insulated wires give out thick black smoke and toxic fumes of hydrochloric acid gas. This impairs visibility and hampers rescue operation. LR-FS on the contrary, not only emits very little smoke and toxic gases, but also retards the spreading of fire. It is thus ideal of concealed and conduit wiring in multi-storied high rise buildings such as hotels, banks, hospitals, factories, commercial complexes and residential apartments etc.
