Lacquering

A protective coating of com­pounded plastics dissolved in volatile sol­vents that typically are applied to textile tape or braids to give a smooth attractive appearance. The polymer and its plasticizers are retained by the cable after the solvent has evaporated. The lac­quers may also be used as a moisture barrier and to provide identification and flame resistance.
