The zero halogen fire-retardant (ZHFR) wire and cable is available for applications where people are present in confined areas. When combined with other fire prevention and suppression practices, fire-retardant, LSZH cables can help minimize fire-related deaths and property damage. The PVC insulation done in case of ZHFR wires is free from halogen, thus preventing emission of corrosive gases under conditions of fire. Because ZHFR releases little or no halogen gas when burned, it reduces the damage to the human respiratory system if inhaled and contributes to less corrosion damage to equipment near the fire.
