Hi Godfrey,
            I'm sure others have the technical name for the 
insulation - I don't recall. The insulation is characterised by a 
pronounced reddish tint and unlike most other "enamels", can be 
directly soldered through. It is soft, melts with some solvents and 
is just a poor choice for most applications I can think of. It fails 
in transformers (both heating and magnetostriction rubbing turns 
together and would never be used in motors of any significant power.

     My experiences with it have not been happy. I'm not saying 
"don't use it", I'm just saying that I wouldn't.

Regards,
malcolm
