Flame retardant cables are cables that are designed to resist the spread of fire into a new area. They do not propagate flame & fire. Halogen-free cables are cables whose insulation materials do not contain the elements of the halogen group like chloride. These are Non-Toxic & Non-Corrosive. For example, one of the most common insulating materials is polyvinyl chloride (PVC). This is because as non-conductors, halogens such as chlorine are excellent insulators and are therefore often used as the insulator material for cables. When PVC gets burned, it produces carbon monoxide, dioxins, and chlorinated furans. Dioxins and furans are two of the most toxic man-made products because the lowest amount of either product can cause diseases such as cancer and birth defects.
