New Delhi – Paramount Cables, the flagship brand of Paramount Communications Ltd., the Rs. 700 crore cabling major, has launched India’s first Lead-Free Wires. These wires have been manufactured in technological collaboration with AEI Cables England, a European market leader since 100 years.
Mr. Sanjay Aggarwal, Chairman & CEO, Paramount Communications Ltd., said, “Just like leaded fuel, leaded wires emit toxic invisible fumes that penetrate the human body and cause several health problems, including cancer. Paramount Cables’ lead-free wires are 100% non-toxic, ensuring the well-being as well as the safety of the residents. These wires are fire-retardant, i.e., in the event of a fire, the wires do not propagate fire.”
With the on-order heat-resistant option, the consumer can be sure that the wires will not heat up; thus, emitting virtually zero fumes. The Lead-Free, Heat Resistant, Zero-Halogen, Low-Smoke (LFHR ZHLS) option is environmentally friendly and is the most superior fire-performance wire in India. Paramount Cables also offers LFHR Fire-Retardant, Low-Smoke (LFHR FRLS) wires.
