PTFE Wires And Cables

Due to their unique chemical structure, PTFE wires and cables exhibit exceptional thermal stability. With a continuous operating temperature range from -65°C to +260°C, these cables retain their mechanical and dielectric properties over a wide temperature spectrum. PTFE’s low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) ensures minimal dimensional changes under temperature fluctuations, allowing your electrical systems to operate within tolerances even in severe thermal cycling environments, such as in aerospace or military-grade applications.

Product Description

Outgassing can be a major concern in high-vacuum or low-pressure environments, such as satellite systems, semiconductor manufacturing, and scientific instrumentation. PTFE’s low outgassing rate (as per ASTM E595 standards) makes it the ideal choice for space or clean room environments where releasing gases can contaminate delicate instruments. This ensures that PTFE cables maintain their integrity and prevent contamination in critical applications.

≥ 10^9 ohms per meter at 20°C

Flame Resistance

UL VW-1, MIL-STD-810 (self-extinguishing, no toxic smoke)

Chemical Resistance

Resistant to acids, alkalis, solvents, oils, and most industrial chemicals

Abrasion Resistance

Excellent resistance to wear and tear in high-vibration environments

Flexibility

Highly flexible and resistant to cracking under mechanical stress

Low Smoke and Toxic Fumes

Emits minimal smoke and no toxic gases during fire (non-halogenated)

Dielectric Constant

2.1 at 1 MHz

Dissipation Factor

< 0.0002 at 1 MHz

Conductor Resistance

≤ 0.028 ohms/meter (for tinned copper at 20°C)

Shielding Options

Available with optional shielding (braided, foil, or combination)

Technical Advantages

PTFE wires and cables exhibit exceptional dielectric strength, with a dielectric constant of approximately 2.1 at 1 MHz and a dissipation factor as low as 0.0002 at 1 MHz, making them perfect for high-frequency signal transmission. These properties help reduce signal loss and crosstalk in communication, avionics, and medical equipment where precise and clean signal transmission is necessary. PTFE’s ability to maintain low capacitance also makes it ideal for RF (radio frequency) and microwave systems. 

PTFE cables are resistant to environmental stress cracking (ESC) in environments subject to mechanical stress and exposure to aggressive chemicals. ESC is a common failure mode in polymers subjected to both tensile stress and aggressive chemicals, often causing cables to fracture or degrade. PTFE’s molecular structure prevents such failures, ensuring high reliability in chemical plants, industrial machinery, and offshore applications.

Industry Applications

RF & Microwave Systems

PTFE cables maintain consistent impedance and minimize signal loss, which is essential for high-frequency RF and microwave applications. 

Nuclear Industry

PTFE provides unparalleled resistance to radiation, making it ideal for wiring in nuclear reactors and other radiation-exposed equipment. 

Oil & Gas

Offers high resistance to chemicals, hydrocarbons, and extreme temperatures, making it suitable for harsh offshore and underground applications. 

Renewable Energy

Used in solar and wind energy systems for cable insulation due to its durability in harsh weather conditions and UV resistance. 

Electromagnetic Shielding

PTFE cables provide exceptional shielding against EMI and RFI, which is crucial for sensitive electronic equipment in complex environments. 

Heat Exchangers

PTFE’s thermal stability and resistance to corrosive fluids make it ideal for heat exchangers and fluid systems. 

Outstanding UV and Radiation Resistance

PTFE wires are highly resistant to corona discharge, which occurs when high-voltage electrical systems ionize surrounding air, leading to potential insulation breakdown. The excellent dielectric breakdown voltage (often over 30 kV) makes PTFE cables suitable for use in high-voltage environments, including industrial power supplies, medical equipment, and aerospace systems, where maintaining electrical insulation is critical for safety and operational efficiency. 

PTFE is highly resistant to UV and gamma radiation, making it suitable for applications exposed to harsh outdoor conditions or nuclear environments. It does not degrade under prolonged exposure to UV or ionizing radiation, making it perfect for underground cables, nuclear power plants, and telecommunications satellites, where cable integrity is crucial for long-term performance.
