Poly a fast running, general purpose, Class 155 polyurethane wire enamel. Suitable for monolithic or dual coat applications, it meets the requirements of NEMA MW 75, MW 80 (MW 79 on finer gauges) also meets the requirements of JIS C 3003 for 'Pinhole' resistance.

Poly is available in clear and colored versions.

The primary benefit of the polyurethane is its easy solderability vs. the 180C tri-2-SOd solderable Polyester coating ( 2 seconds at 380°C vs. 5 seconds at 455°C)

Polyurethane can be readily used on Copper, Aluminium and Copper-Clad Aluminium wires as a basecoat for the commonly applied thermoplastic bond coats. It is a cost-effective insulation to be applied to wires that are used in the manufacture of precision coils, as it provides end users manufacturing benefits in handling and solderability.

Typical applications are within motors, R.F. coils, relay, encapsulated coils, ignition coils, solenoids, low voltage transformers, Multi layer and precision wound coils, speaker voice coils.
