What is this translucent heat-resistant insulation?
On the picture from this question, what is the translucent insulation on the transformer center-tap made from? It looks like polyethylene, but it obviously isn't because PE would melt at soldering temperatures.

Some kind of silicone rubber? can PTFE be made translucent with additives to lower its density? Interesting question!

That looks very much like PTFE tubing. The thin-walled tubing tends to be translucent, but the degree of translucency also varies by manufacturer and even batch.
