What is PTFE wire?
The Polytetrafluoroethylene wire, also known as PTFE wire, is a relatively high-end high-temperature wire, Its production process is different from other Teflon wires, The production process can be extrusion and wrapping sintering. The long-term use temperature range of polytetrafluoroethylene wire is -60-+260 ℃, PTFE-coated wire is almost insoluble in any solvent, So it has good corrosion resistance. It has a long service life and does not require frequent replacement.
When we search for temperature compensation wires, low-temperature resistant wires, heating wires, and high-temperature resistant connecting wires, we often find a wire called PTFE-coated wire.
In our daily lives, we can find PTFE wires also present in air conditioners, microwaves, electronic disinfection cabinets, hair dryers, electric blankets, rice cookers, electronic water bottles, electric heaters, electric ovens, induction cookers, gas boilers, electric fryers, etc.
PTFE VS ETFE wire
The characteristics of ETFE cable and PTFE cable are very similar. They are all widely used in aerospace, medical and nuclear industry because of their unique characteristics, such as corrosion resistance, high-pressure resistance, high-temperature resistance, UV resistance, etc.
However, ETFE insulation wire is much different from PTFE insulation wire.
- ETFE-insulated wires have a much higher tensile strength, So on some devices that require latching, especially medical devices, ETFE wires are widely used.
- PTFE cables are more headstrong and less prone to breakage when repeatedly bent, So in environments where bending is often required, PTFE wires are more recommended; PTFE wire is more wear-resistant.
- Regarding heat resistance: The melting point of PTFE wire is higher than ETFE wire, so their process requirements are also different. That's why their temperature tolerance is also different.
- ETFE has strong corrosion resistance, high mechanical strength, and low price, and is highly popular. However, its temperature resistance is not high, so when you require a temperature resistance of 250 degrees, you must choose PTFE-insulated wires
