🔥Electrical fires remain a significant risk in homes and workplaces. They often start at plugs and connections due to overheating, damaged components, poor contact, or prolonged use. Because plugs are frequently left unattended and rarely inspected, early signs of failure can go unnoticed, allowing a fire to develop before action can be taken.
How it Works
🛡️PlugShield is a fire-activated intumescent safety sleeve designed to add an additional layer of protection of electrical plugs. The 0.8 mm heat-reactive material expands when exposed to high temperatures, helping to limit fire spread at plugs, sockets, and extension leads or power strips without effecting supply.
🔌 Flexible & Easy to Fit – Simply wrap and strap around plugs. Installs in seconds — no tools or adhesives needed.
👍 Discreet, Always-On Protection – Slim, non-adhesive, and hidden in daily use. Provides 24/7 passive fire safety without interfering with plug operation.

Wrap and protect
Manufactured in the UK by Vanquish Ltd., PlugShield® is made from Flexifire - a graphite-based fully tested and compliant intumescent material, used in fire doors, that offers high levels of expansion and insulation, thus preventing heat transfer.
As the material reaches its activation temperature of 180°, the intercalated graphite particles expand many times their original volume and choke the flames to smoke - this sets off alarms.
Universal fit for plugs worldwide
Designed to accommodate virtually all 2-pin and 3-pin plug types globally, PlugShield provides dependable fire protection for electrical plugs, extension leads, and power boards.
Fitting - Wrap and Strap
Adds protection and allows air circulation - particularly useful for unattended, difficult to access appliances

Important Safety Information
PlugShield® is a fire-resistant protective accessory intended to provide an additional layer of protection at electrical plugs.
It is designed to support safer electrical installations and may help reduce the risk of fire at the point of connection.
PlugShield® is not a substitute for compliant electrical installation, regular inspection, or the use of correctly rated electrical equipment.
Always follow appliance manufacturer instructions and applicable electrical safety regulations.
PlugShield® is designed to be used with compliant plugs as a supplementary fire-protection measure and does not mitigate risks arising from excessive load, poor connections, or degraded sockets.
No product can eliminate fire risk entirely.
PlugShield® should be used as part of a broader fire-safety and electrical-safety approach.
