I think every wire maker has its own name for this material.
In the case of Amidon, Inc., I definitely know that
it is not "Formvar".

Formvar is a very, very tough coating that is not easy to
remove.

As mentioned previously, I always seem to have a bunch of
the kind of magnet wire with the easy, heat-disintregrating
coating, mostly from old inductors and transformers.
