Question about flammability

According to the page: When burned, ETFE releases hydrofluoric acid, which is extremely corrosive. but also: Another key use of ETFE is for the covering of electrical wiring used in high stress, low fume toxicity and high reliability situations. Aircraft wiring is a primary example.

Why would a substance that burns with corrosive toxic fumes be used in a low fume toxicity application? Are there reference sources for these two statements, please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.165.18 (talk) 23:27, 29 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
