  • Polyurethane Bond 105°C
  • Formvar 105°C
  • Formvar Bond 105°C
  • Poly-Nylon 105°C
  • Polyurethane-Nylon 130°C
  • Poly H.T. 130°C
  • Polyester 130°C
  • Polyester Epoxy 130°C
  • Polyester Isomid 180°C
  • Polyester Nylon 180°C
  • Armored Polyester Teflon 200°C

Hookup wire:Typical hookup wire is Teflon, PVC and cloth braid. Using Teflon wire is the best for higher temperatures and soldering close to the ends without having it shrink or pull back. PVC wire works well but again is not good for higher temperatures and shrinking or pull back is common with this type of wire. Cloth braid is a great hookup wire and works great under heat and looks great when used properly.
