Silicone insulation, perhaps? After all, teflon releases hydrofluoric acid at high temperatures - definitely toxic. Silicone resists heat well too, and burns to sand, which can even maintain the insulation if contained and immobile. Silicone is soft and rubbery, while teflon is harder and stiffer, and a genuine PITA to strip, I found. When we needed some silicone insulated wire for automotive¹ use here in Australia 38 years ago, we had to have it made to order. ISTR the teflon was a good deal more expensive, as well as a pain.
