This coated sleeving is intended for use as part of the internal wiring of electrical devices and appliances located in dry and damp locations. In addition, acrylic, silicone and vinyl-coated glass sleeving has been subjected to long-term exposure at elevated temperatures (air-oven aging) to investigate retention of critical properties, and has received temperature ratings as shown in the individual Recognitions. The coated sleeving may be suitable for insulating one or more inadequately insulated conductors, busbars, component leads, or assemblies of electrical components.
