- True genuine PTFE wires (UL1180 - Datasheets and specifications attached). All UL1332 wires or Heluflon wires are FEP, way cheaper than genuine PTFE.
What is Teflon™/PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)?
PTFE is a fluoropolymer with a number of properties that make it extremely useful. These include:
- Extremely low friction - The coefficient of friction of PTFE is one of the lowest of any solid in existence, meaning nothing will stick to it
- High melting point – There are very few situations where PTFE would be damaged by heat
- Good temperature resistance – PTFE can perform at higher and lower temperatures
- Chemically Inert – It doesn't react with a large number of corrosive and hazardous substances meaning that it can be used in a wide variety of industrial applications
- High flexural strength - It’s ability to bend and flex, even at low temperatures, means it can be easily applied to a variety of surfaces without losing its integrity
PTFE is the grandfather of all fluoroplastics. It is the most unusual and exhibits the best performance in terms of temperature, chemical resistance and non-stick properties.
Its major disadvantage is that it does not actually melt when heated and therefore is difficult to process, and very unconventional techniques are needed to mould, extrude and weld this fluoroplastic (that's why is more expensive than FEP).
