Teflon Wire Update
Teflon wire (PTFE, FEP, PFA, ETFE) has become a very popular wire choice due to its high durability. It has high resistance to various chemicals, temperature, moisture, UV radiation, and more. This wire, originally used in military applications, has become a popular choice in many other industries due to its versatility. Unfortunately, the high popularity has created a shortage and price increase.
RHSeals is committed to its customers, and we maintain a close relationship with our suppliers. We will continue a partnership with both our customers and suppliers to ensure open communication and planning. If your project requires Teflon, we recommend ordering as early as possible, so we can best manage the shortage. We are creating and implementing strategies to minimize the effects of the scarcity.
