provides tough, semirigid, very-thin-wall insulation and strain relief of multipin
connectors, solder joints and other delicate electrical connections and
terminations. It is well-suited for applications that require dense packing
of components or visual inspection of covered components. It is especially
suitable for applications requiring outstanding abrasion and cut-through
resistance and superior chemical and solvent resistance. Its high temperature
performance meets or exceeds military and industrial standards. RW-175 meets
NASA outgassing requirements making it suitable for use in space applications
such as satellites.
