ETFE/ETFE Tefzel 750 (Ethylene Tetrafluoroethylene)
DuPont™ Tefzel ® fluoropolymer resin offers mechanical strength and toughness along with resistance to heat and chemicals. In addition, they provide easy processing, high specific dielectric strength, and a low coefficient of friction. For these reasons, Tefzel ® resins are widely used to make compact wire and cable constructions that provide long, reliable service in demanding environments.

FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene)
FEP wire is a single conductor lead wire with resistance to moisture and fluid. The extruded fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) insulation allow the diameter to be 20-30% smaller than conventional wire. FEP offers optimum insulation for smaller applications at half the space of other constructions. FEP meets FDA Code 121.2555 requirements for appliances and machines used in food-contact applications. It is impervious to most chemicals, acids, fuels, solvents and water. Mechanical toughness and low coefficient of fricition allow pull installation of long wire lengths.
