Ed, There is a great deal of information about Kapton wire on the internet. Some, of course, extols its properties, but much condemns it, particularly for use in aircraft. If you simply enter 'Kapton wire' in a search engine (I like http://livesearch.alltheweb.com/ for technical searches) you will get enough information to keep you reading for quite some time. Best regards

From: Price, Ed [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 16 October 2007 16:48 To: [email protected] Subject: Kapton Insulation Again venturing way beyond where I should, I have been asked about the use of Kapton (as a wire insulation on Ethernet cables) in human-occupied spaces. Has anyone heard of any kind of prohibition of using Kapton materials due to hazardous outgassing or degradation products? Are there any applicable commercial or military standards related to this? Thanks in advance!
