In Reply to: is it possible that the insulation on this wire ISN'T teflon? posted by jarthel on March 24, 2007 at 00:04:45:
The melt test is one way to determine if the wire is Teflon.If you pull the wire between your fingers Teflon insulation feels waxy/slick. Teflon offers very little grip to your fingers.
Conversely, non-Teflon (PVC) feels rubbery, and fails the melt test. From what you describe your wire is NOT Teflon clad. If you heat the conductor and the insulation shrinks back from the heat; then the insulation is something other than Teflon.
