Hi Ed: Check out the Du Pont Kapton MSDS web site: http://www.dupont.com/kapton/msds.html The MSDS refers to a bulletin on safe handling and use. I did not take the time to track this down. Best regards, Richard Nute Product Safety Consultant San Diego
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Price, Ed Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 8:48 AM 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!
