Topic: Grease on conductors? |

Just replaced a power point at my house and the live and neutral conductors have like a green grease on them? I cut them back but it was still going up the insulation.
Can anyone tell me what this is from? Is it something that people used to do a few years back?
Here's a couple of photos that may help

Perfectly normal "green slime'; being a product of aging in older PVC-insulated Cu cables. Generally harmless, though messy. But if it dribbles into a modern micro-gap switch module you may have to replace the module. forming a drip-loop prevents that.
Relevant info used to be on General Cables website; may be something on Nexans'
