LifeGuard is a low-smoke, zero-halogen cable with low-smoke, zero-halogen compounds that provide significant flame resistance, minimal smoke production and substantially reduced toxicity and corrosiveness when burned, as compared to traditional wire and cable. When traditional cable burns, the acid gases produced are particularly destructive to electronic equipment, which represents a significant investment for many businesses. The product can be used in harsh environments in the utility industry in power generation and co-generation plants.
