PVC FRLS and FR Compounds for Safer Power Solutions

Advanced Fire Safe PVC Formulations for Modern Electrical and Industrial Applications

Fire safety is a critical requirement in every electrical system. As buildings, industries and public infrastructure become more dependent on high performance wiring, the need for reliable flame resistant materials grows stronger. DEV Polymer, a trusted Delhi based polymer manufacturer with more than two decades of excellence and a production capacity of over 10,000 tons annually, delivers high quality PVC FR and PVC FRLS Compounds engineered for safe and efficient electrical performance.

Our formulations safeguard power distribution systems by reducing flame spread, lowering smoke emission and ensuring consistent electrical insulation. Backed by advanced polymer science and rigorous quality control, our compounds support modern wiring needs across residential structures, industrial plants, communication systems and essential public utilities.

Understanding FRLS and FR Compounds

Electrical cables come in close contact with heat sources, enclosed spaces and large connected loads. In the event of electrical faults, the insulation compound determines whether a cable contributes to fire spread or prevents it. PVC FR and PVC FRLS Compounds are engineered to reduce fire risks, enhance system reliability and protect life and property during emergencies.

PVC FR Compound (Inherently flame resistant for secure electrical insulation)

PVC FR Compound uses the inherent fire resistant nature of Polyvinyl Chloride. PVC contains a naturally high chlorine content that limits combustion. It does not support continuous burning under standard conditions unless exposed to elevated levels of flammable additives. This makes FR grade PVC a preferred solution in applications where fire control and safety are mandatory.

DEV Polymer PVC FR Compound offers:

• Superior flame resistance due to controlled chlorine based polymer chemistry

• Strong insulation properties suitable for a wide range of electrical conductors

• Thermal stability under typical power cable operating conditions

• Mechanical durability that resists cuts, stress and daily handling

• Safe performance in both indoor and outdoor electrical installations

Applications: PVC FR Compound is used across:

• House wire and cable

• Industrial wiring systems

• Electrical insulating mats

• General purpose insulation and sheathing

Its performance makes it ideal for spaces where fire risks are moderate but controlled flame spread is essential.

PVC FRLS Compound (Flame Retardant Low Smoke polymer for advanced fire control)

Electrical wiring failures often contribute to smoke generation during fire events. Thick smoke reduces visibility, slows evacuation and increases health hazards. PVC FRLS Compound solves this risk by combining flame retardant properties with significantly reduced smoke emission.

The term FRLS stands for Flame Retardant Low Smoke, referring to a specialised PVC compound designed to:

• Control flame propagation and prevent fire escalation

• Release minimal smoke during combustion for safer evacuation

• Maintain electrical insulation even under emergency conditions

• Operate reliably in high occupancy or enclosed environments

DEV Polymer FRLS Compounds are produced with precision controlled additives and stabilisers that ensure consistent performance across varied electrical conditions.

Applications: PVC FRLS Compound is widely used in areas where people density or equipment value is high:

• Residential homes

• Commercial complexes

• Schools, hospitals and public infrastructure

• Airports, rail terminals and government buildings

• Industrial plants and manufacturing units

Its low smoke and reduced toxicity profile make it essential for modern building codes and fire safety standards.
