This specification covers a weather and ozone-resisting crosslinked compound for use as the outer covering or jacket on insulated wires and cables. The polymer component of this material consists substantially of ethylenepropylene copolymer (EPM) or ethylene-propylene terpolymer (EPDM).

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee D09 on Electrical and Electronic Insulating Materials, this specification was withdrawn without replacement in October 2007 because the committee was unsure of the utility of this document to the industry and did not wish to maintain a document for which there may be little or no expertise on the committee.

1.1 This specification covers a weather and ozone-resisting crosslinked compound for use as the outer covering or jacket on insulated wires and cables. The polymer component of this material consists substantially of ethylenepropylene copolymer (EPM) or ethylene-propylene terpolymer (EPDM).

1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are the standard, except in cases where SI units are more appropriate. The values in parentheses are for information only.
