Fire Survival Cables, Ölflex

Lapp India, a 100% subsidiary of the Lapp Group Germany and a leading supplier of integrated solutions and branded products in the field of cable and connection technology in India, has launched Ölflex® Fire Survival Cables for circuit integrity application in the event of fire. These cables are passed through C/W/Z fire resistant test and can provide optimum cabling solutions in fire mishaps by maintaining circuit integrity for temperatures up to 950°C, 650°C and 950°C as per application requirements. The inner and outer sheaths of the cables are specially made of halogen free compound, which reduces emission of fumes and acid gases in the event of fire. Ölflex Fire Survival Cables are designed for major infrastructure installations such as – airports, metro rail, rail terminal, bus terminal etc along with building and construction management. Rapid urbanization has escalated the need for high rise buildings, malls, modern houses and offices, all of which depend on wires and cables. As a result, the need for installing quality wire and cables is growing. Approximately 80% cables around are not visible once they are installed. During a fire accident, these cables can propagate fire in the building through electrical circuits. So the need of the hour is to minimise loss during fire mishap, which can be achieved by providing intelligent cabling solutions in terms of fire safety and fire survivability.
