To add to the existing range of electrical wires, Finolex introduces Finolex - Flame retardant (FR) PVC insulated industrial cables, which offer added safety. Each wire is manufactured using 99.97% pure, electrolytic grade, bright annealed bare copper with more than 100% conductivity for conductor. This copper is manufactured at the company's state-of-the-art plant in Goa. Highest purity and conductivity of copper ensures greater saving of electrical energy and thus helps to reduce electricity bills. The conductor is made of multiple strands of finely drawn copper wires thereby offering greater flexibility which makes these wires ideal for conduit wiring. The wires are insulated with FR (Flame Retardent) PVC compound, specially formulated and manufactured in-house. A special grade PVC resin manufactured by the group company, Finolex Industries Limited, is used to manufacture this compound. This PVC compound has FR properties of high oxygen and temperature index. These properties help in restricting the spread of fire even at very high temperatures. This special compound also offers high insulation resistance and dielectric strength. Insulation is applied over the conductor by the process of dual extrusion using state-of-the-art extrusion lines. The outer skin determines the colour identification while the inner layer is pure insulation which provides extra protection. All wires are subjected to high voltage spark testing to make sure that there are no weak spots in the insulation.
