Product Description
Thermal Class:   240° (copper)

Extraordinary thermal and chemical stability.

Highest overload resistance, cut thru resistance and operating temperature classification of any Rea film insulation.

Exhibits high resistance to radiation.

Minimum outgassing makes ML ideal for use in hermetically sealed coils and relays.

Chemically compatible with the widest range of solvents, varnishes and encapsulating materials
