Application fit

Is UL AWM 1429 / 1430 right for your machine?

Electron-beam irradiation converts thermoplastic PVC into an infusible three-dimensional polymer network (XLPVC). Unlike UL 1061 or UL 1007, UL 1429 and UL 1430 withstand accidental soldering-iron contact, wave soldering, hot potting compounds and flux solvents without insulation shrinkback.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first

Not covered here? Send your drawing — an engineer replies within 2 business hours.

How do UL 1429 and UL 1430 compare in wall thickness and voltage rating?
UL Style 1429 has a 0.25 mm (10 mil) cross-linked PVC wall rated 150 V RMS at 80 °C (matching the dimensions of UL 1061). UL Style 1430 has a 0.41 mm (16 mil) cross-linked PVC wall rated 300 V RMS at 105 °C (matching the dimensions of UL 1007 / 1569).
Why does electron-beam cross-linked PVC resist soldering irons?
High-energy electron-beam irradiation links the PVC polymer chains into a permanent three-dimensional thermoset network. Above the crystalline melting point where ordinary PVC melts and pulls back from the strip point, XLPVC becomes rubbery and retains its shape.
Can UL 1429 / 1430 be stripped on standard automatic wire-processing machines?
Yes. Unlike slippery fluoropolymers (PTFE/FEP) that require special thermal or precision V-blades, XLPVC strips cleanly with standard carbide blades and accepts standard UV/hot-stamp ink marking.
When should I choose UL 3265 / 3266 instead of UL 1429 / 1430?
Choose UL 3265 (150 V, 10 mil) or UL 3266 (300 V, 16 mil) when the application requires a +125 °C continuous rating or cross-linked polyolefin (XLPE/XLPO) insulation.
