Even at 480° F—hotter than some industrial ovens—this wire’s insulation won’t melt.

Wire with a fiberglass outer and mica inner insulation is the common choice for steel mills, iron mills, and glass manufacturing. You may know it as MG wire. Wire with a silicone-coated outer insulation shields your skin from fiberglass particles when handling the wire.

Wire with a fiberglass outer and PTFE inner insulation won’t corrode from moisture, so it’s often used in industrial drying equipment. It also won’t become brittle or crack from chemicals. This wire is commonly known as TGGT wire.

High-Temperature Thin-Insulation Wire

Use for ovens, furnaces, panel and equipment (hook-up),
Flexible
Temperature Range: -235° to 570° F
Insulation: PFA Plastic

With a slim PFA plastic insulation, this wire has the same heat resistance as standard high-temperature wire but its diameter is one-third the size for use in tight spaces. It withstands water, sunlight, and chemicals, making it good for use in oil and gas applications. It’s also known as hook-up wire.

High-Temperature Cable

The insulation on this cable withstands high-heat applications such as ovens and furnaces. The wires are silver or nickel plated for corrosion resistance.

Use unshielded cable in applications where signal interference is not a concern. It has a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape around each wire. The entire cable is wrapped in a layer of fiberglass fabric and mica tape, and then covered in PTFE. The PTFE outer insulation resists chemicals, oil, abrasion, and moisture.
