Frequent Electrical Fires Stimulate the Expansion of Flame Retardant Wire and Cable Market

Building electrical fire is a problem that cannot be ignored at present. In recent years, with the increasingly serious building electrical fire, the public's awareness of electrical safety has been continuously improved. Flame retardant wire and cable may face severe challenges while ushering in development opportunities.
I saw a report two days ago that a fire broke out in a warehouse near Changming Road in the eastern suburbs of Xi'an. The fire caused the wires and circuits around the warehouse to be burned, and the electricity consumption of nearby residents was affected. After the fire, due to the large fire, the surrounding wires were burned, causing the electricity to be cut off near the warehouse. And because the nearby power supply line happened to pass through the warehouse, the fire caused the power line to be burned, resulting in a large-scale power outage in the nearby Yuedengge village. Fortunately, the accident caused no casualties.
The severe situation of electrical fires may stimulate the growth of demand for flame retardant wires and cables. When promoting these products in the past few years, many people did not understand them and even said they were "unnecessary". But now, with the continuous improvement of people's awareness of fire safety, the government has paid more and more attention to it. Over the years, the proportion of major fire accidents caused by electrical reasons has been high. The flame-retardant and fire-resistant characteristics of electrical circuits are important factors in the electrical causes of fires. Therefore, frequent fire accidents and consumer requirements for product durability are factors that affect the growth of demand for flame-retardant cables.
The severe situation of electrical fire will also enhance the performance requirements of flame retardant wire and cable, which will also be a major challenge for domestic wire and cable manufacturers. Nowadays, there are more and more high-rise buildings, and the requirements for fire safety level are much higher than the original. In the past, the cables used can be flame retardant, but now they are required to be electrified for 3 hours after fire, so only super refractory materials can show their talents. The choice of fire-resistant cables in civil buildings should not only meet the fire protection requirements, but also consider the cost factor. When selecting the grade of fire-resistant cable, in addition to considering the nature and scale of the building, it is more reasonable to continue to run the fire fighting equipment in the event of a fire.
