PTFE-Insulated Copper Wire

PTFE-Insulated Copper Wire pairs copper’s high electrical conductivity with PTFE’s superior dielectric strength, thermal resistance, and chemical inertness. The insulation ensures reliable signal transmission in harsh environments, preventing degradation from moisture, heat, or aggressive chemicals. Industries employ this wire in aerospace avionics, chemical plant instrumentation, and medical equipment. Specific uses include high-frequency coaxial cables, corrosion-resistant sensor wiring, and sterilizable surgical instrument connections. In research, PTFE copper wires are used to evaluate high-voltage insulation performance, study conductor-polymer interaction under cyclic loading, and prototype lightweight electrical systems for extreme environments. This combination of conductivity and protective insulation ensures dependable electrical performance in both industrial and research applications.
