M81044/12 is a lightweight lead wire with a light wall made up of an extruded, cross-linked polyalkene insulation and an extruded, cross-linked polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) jacket. This wire is used in high-density cable and harnessing applications because of its size and weight advantages. It also has excellent resistance to cut-through, abrasion, cold flow, shrink back, notch propagation, and common chemicals. These wires also strip and stripe easily, may be potted, and have low smoke characteristics.
