Some types of neoprene insulation used in jackets contain additives that can migrate to the surface and discolor the polyolefin RPS sleeves. Any discoloration is dependent on the composition of the neoprene, combined with application conditions. Users should independently evaluate the suitability of RPS sleeves for applications involving neoprene-jacketed cables. 2014 Tyco Electronics Corporation, a TE Connectivity Ltd.
