Description
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a high-performance, synthetic fluoropolymer that offers exceptional characteristics including a very high working temperature, low friction surface, high electrical resistance, and non-stick properties. This range of PTFE tubing is specifically designed in American Wire Gauge (AWG) sizes for the insulation of standard wire and cable diameters.
Our PTFE tubing is available in various sizes including Imperial and metric options, as well as ultra-thin wall tubing with an inside diameter ranging from 0.2mm to 1.5mm and a very thin wall of only 0.1mm.
Please note: Coils may not be continuous lengths. If you require a continuous length, please specify this when you order.
