At present, flexible wire connections on one region are mainly protected against corrosion by a mixture of petroleum jelly and mineral oil. This is unsatisfactory however as the mineral oil causes degradation of the inner insulation on the connections (natural rubber). The outer insulation is usually unaffected (polychloroprene).
