[electrical panels] had various amounts of green substance ranging from single drops to small puddles. ….. affected wires were 20 to 30 years old with black PVC insulation …..
..analyses concluded that the green substance developed from reactions between polymeric plasticizers in the insulation and the copper in the wire….. reaction produces a green substance that is chemically incompatible with the insulation and is exuded from the wire.
