Type 55®
Type 55® wire is insulated with modified radiation cross-linked ETFE polymer. The dual wall Airframe construction of type 55® wire is used on numerous aircraft programmes. Also for industrial applications where high temperature rating is required. Dual wall has a 0.25mm total wall thickness & a contrasting core colour (blue) to act as a damage indicator.
