Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials

The development of test methods, practices, definitions, and specifications and the promotion of knowledge and research relating to solid and solidifying fluid electrical insulating materials. The principal materials included are grades designed primarily for electrical insulating or dielectric purposes of the following: varnishes and resins; reinforced, laminated, filled and unfilled thermoplastic and thermosetting plastics; metal-clad dielectrics; ceramics, glass, and mica; embedment resins, compounds, and waxes; coated, extruded, cast, and calendared sheet, tape, and tubing; organic and inorganic papers, coated and uncoated; plastic, resin, paper, fiber, thermoset, rubber and ceramic insulation for wire; thermoplastic and thermosetting insulation, jacket, and semi- conducting materials for insulated wire and cable.
