12 Aug 2025 CW Team

RR Kabel, a leading wires and cables manufacturer, has launched three next-generation wire solutions designed to meet the demands of modern Indian homes and infrastructure amid rising temperatures and electrical loads. The new range includes Flamex HR+FR, Superex Green HR+FR, and Firex LS0H-EBXL, offering enhanced safety, performance, and sustainability.

“As homes grow smarter and temperatures rise due to global warming, wires must evolve too. Our new range is built to anticipate tomorrow’s challenges—higher temperatures, heavier loads, and the need for greater safety and environmental responsibility,” said Mr Rajesh Kabra, Executive Director, RR Kabel.

Flamex HR+FR offers 20 per cent higher current-carrying capacity, safe operation up to 85°C, and dual heat- and flame-resistant properties, with anti-rodent and termite protection. Superex Green HR+FR combines thermal resilience with eco-conscious design, meeting REACH and RoHS compliance, and features advanced conductors for improved durability and lower energy loss. Firex LS0H-EBXL, with EBXL technology and LS0H insulation, can withstand temperatures up to 900°C, releases only non-toxic smoke during fire, and offers a 60+ year lifespan.

All variants use 100 per cent pure electrolytic copper, meet IS, REACH, RoHS, CE, and CPR standards, and feature anti-pest protection. With these launches, RR Kabel reinforces its focus on innovation, sustainability, and high safety standards in the electrical industry.
