And this is why PCBs were used instead of oil. No burning, much more chemically inert. Too bad there's inevitable manufacturing contaminants which are carcinogenic in very low quantities, and because they are so persistent, cause problems for a long time.
Oil does spoil, after all. Slowly, for good insulating mineral oil (they put anti-oxidants like BHT, BHA, or alpha-tocopherol in it), but it does degrade. Silicones are essentially inert and don't really spoil, but are a LOT more expensive, and have other disadvantages (real hard to remove with a solvent, for instance) On 12/28/11 8:15 AM, "C.
