   > Modern wire uses teflon or plastic for insulation.   
      
   ** It is very rare to see teflon coated wire in anything  -  the stuff is   
   expensive, hard to work with and only worth while in devices that operate at   
   unusually high temperatures.   
      
   One occasionally sees silicone coated wire used but the overwhelming   
   majority of plastic costed wire uses good old PVC =  polyvinyl chloride.
