Home Isolation Ward

From ebony pucks to magic foil, mystical and controversial tweaks.

White insulation

has more to do with the dye lots. The color of natural plastics is a milky translucent color. Every other color including clear involves chemical additives. It is these additives which affect the electrical properties of the insulation. In general the lighter colors are more benign, Black very often involves the addition of carbon, which is slightly conductive, and thus transforms the insulator into a terrible conductor.

This was pointed out to me by designer Stan warren in the very early 90s.
