Welcome to PMC Corporation

PRODUCT CODE: TZ/TZ

Our customers have grown to expect only the highest quality products from PMC A Division of R-SCC.

This construction has been designed to meet the needs of industry and our customers. This construction includes Tefzel® insulation extruded on the single conductors. A jacket of Tefzel is then extruded overall providing a product capable of withstanding unusual amounts of physical abuse.

Tefzel, ETFE, a copolymer of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, was developed by Dupont in 1970. Like FEP,TFE, and PFA, Tefzel is a high temperature resin and is well suited for wire and cable insulation because of its balance of properties. It has very good electrical characteristics, good low temperature and thermal properties, and excellent chemical inertness. Tefzel's tensile strength is better than FEP, TFE, or PFA. It passes vertical and horizontal flame test as a single wire or bundle, and is UL rated as VW-1. It has a nearly unvarying dielectric constant of 2.6 with changing frequency and temperature. Its dissipating factor is 0.0008 at 103Hz, 0.005 at 106Hz which is considerably lower than any other non-teflon extrudable wire insulating material.

The thermocouple grade products are used to form temperature sensors and the extension grade products become the interconnecting link in the temperature sensing system.

You will find our qualified sales and engineering staff eager to assist in selecting a design to meet the requirements of your specific application. Variations of the construction are available upon request including aluminum polyester tape to reduce noise problems found in so many of today's plants.

NOTE:	Percent limits apply directly to temperature in °C units, but for °F equivalents are applied to the numbers of °F above or below the ice point (+32°F). (i.e. Limit (°F) = (Temp. °F-32°F) x Percentage)
	Thermocouple wire cannot be expected to meet the limits of error at temperatures below the ice point unless specified at time of purchase.
