TG 6 High Temperature Wire
TG 6 high temperature wire is a TGGT wire. TGGT is an acronym which stands for Teflon®-Glass-Glass-Teflon®. Teflon® is a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) originally developed by DuPont. TGGT wire has PTFE tape insulation covered by a high temperature sealant impregnated fiberglass jacket. You can use this wire continuously at 250ºC. In some instances, manufacturers place a ceramic tape on top of the PTFE wire insulation (TCGT).
TG 6 is TGGT wire is a stranded 6 AWG high temperature wire with 113 strands of nickel-plated copper measuring .0142 each. This wire conforms to UL 5214 and UL52556 requirements. It has a nominal inslulation thickness of 0.015 inches and a nominal outer diameter of 0.274. The insulation material is comprised of PTFE tape/fiberglass serving and a fiberglass braid treated with a high-temperature saturant which permits the use of this material in environments where sustained temperatures of 250 degress Celsius may be experienced.
