Not long ago, we learned about a heartbreaking incident where a house in Varkala caught fire. Since the fire broke out late at night, there was no one around to help the family escape. Sadly, the only survivor had to be hospitalized and was placed in the ICU for treatment. After thorough investigation, it was determined that the fire was caused by an electrical short circuit, and the family couldn't evacuate because the smoke spread rapidly throughout the house.
If they had used Zero Halogen/BANFIRE/ZHFR wires, it might have reduced the amount of smoke and non-toxic halogens released, limiting their spread within the home and potentially saving the property from complete destruction.

Taking this into account, let’s delve deeper into what Zero Halogen Flame Retardant (ZHFR) wires are all about.
### Why Should You Consider Zero Halogen/BANFIRE/ZHFR Wires for Your Home?
When compared to traditional wires, Zero Halogen wires offer a safer option. Known for their superior quality and performance, these wires are entirely free of heavy metals and are 100% flame retardant. In the event of exposure to high temperatures, they emit minimal smoke and non-toxic halogens, which contrasts sharply with PVC-insulated wires. When PVC wires burn, they release fumes that can spread throughout the house, making it difficult for families to breathe and worsening the situation. This can lead to panic and make it nearly impossible for people to escape.
### What Makes ZHFR/BANFIRE Wires Unique?
Zero Halogen wires are typically insulated with a ZHFR compound containing hydrated fillers. These fillers release water when fire begins to spread, helping to extinguish the flames and protect your property. Beyond reducing smoke and toxic gas emissions, these wires possess excellent flame-retardant properties. They’re also easy to install and maintain long-term circuit integrity during a fire.
BanFire – ZHFR represents our dedication to protecting both the environment and human life. Smoke inhalation is often the leading cause of death in indoor fires. In such situations, KEI’s BanFire – ZHFR ensures that trapped individuals can breathe more easily, aiding in their rescue.
KEI’s BanFire – ZHFR cables are crafted using specially developed in-house PVC polymers, minimizing smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. This provides enhanced safety for occupants in homes, residential complexes, and commercial buildings.
BanFire – ZHFR can handle operating temperatures up to 105℃ and features exceptional fire and heat retardant properties, along with being non-toxic. The wires are made with at least 99.97% electrolytic grade, annealed bare copper, ensuring over 100% conductivity. Insulated with a specially formulated PVC polymer containing ZHFR compounds, these wires are manufactured and formulated in-house, guaranteeing reliability, energy efficiency, and maximum safety during emergencies.
At KEI, we produce halogen-free flame-retardant cables uniquely. These cables may consist of single-core or multi-core configurations. EVA/EPR/XLPE/LSZH materials primarily act as insulators, while PVC serves as the sheathing or bedding material. The cables also feature stranded or flexible annealed copper conductors. After testing, the team categorizes the cables based on their fire-resistance characteristics. At KEI, the wires are branded as 'BanFire'. With a hazard level below 0.5%, these wires surpass FR-LSH cables in quality. Our team also customizes the wires according to specific customer requirements.
In terms of categories, fire-resistant cables are marked with the letter 'A'. Depending on their properties, they may also carry additional symbols. For example, if the wires can withstand temperatures up to 650°C for three hours, they're labeled 'A'. If they endure up to 950°C for 20 minutes, they're marked as 'S'. If they resist fire with mechanical shocks, they're classified as X, Y, or Z.
Ultimately, before choosing a zero-halogen wire, it's important to understand the distinction between fire-resistant and flame-retardant cables. Flame-retardant cables usually stop the fire from spreading locally, whereas fire-resistant cables continue functioning even amidst flames. The main goal of fire-resistant cables is to preserve circuit integrity under specified conditions.
In conclusion, investing in high-quality, zero-halogen cables can make a significant difference in ensuring safety and minimizing damage in emergency situations. Always prioritize safety and consider upgrading your wiring to these advanced options for peace of mind.
