  FRLS Wires (Fire Retardant Low Smoke):
 

FRLS Wires are recommended for use in Fire Prime Zones and locations where the possibility of Short Circuit, Peep of Flame occur. The hazards of electrical fires are primarily:

  1. Thick Smoke barring vision.
  2. Strong pungent gas release choking eyes and lungs
  3. The burring fire itself.

KENT FRLS Wires are made from specially formulated and compounded PVC Polymer that retends the spread of flame, toxic gases and smoke as they are self extinguishing and do not allow the fire to spread.

FRLS Wires find most use in multistoried buildings, hotels, banquets, heavily equipped shops and commercial offices. Hospitals and Industrial control rooms with cluttered panels, instruments and areas where safety is the primary concern.
