TGGT stands for Teflon-Glass-Glass-Teflon. The name describes its multi-layer construction: PTFE (Teflon) tape insulation, followed by a glass yarn braid, and a final fiberglass jacket impregnated with a high-temp Teflon finish.
The primary difference is the temperature rating and insulation material. TGGT is rated for 250°C (482°F) and uses PTFE (Teflon) tape. MG (Mica Glass) wire is rated for 450°C (842°F). MG wire replaces the Teflon tape with Mica tapes, a mineral-based insulator that can withstand nearly double the heat of TGGT. While TGGT is the standard for commercial ovens and appliances, MG wire is required for "extreme zones" like industrial heaters, commercial kilns, and equipment operating near open flames or molten metal.
Yes. 12 AWG TGGT is rated for 600 Volts, making it ideal for standard 120V, 208V, or 240V industrial heating circuits. It is commonly used as the main lead wire for high-wattage heating elements.
Yes. While fiberglass by itself can absorb moisture, the jacket on our TGGT wire is impregnated with a high-temperature finish that provides excellent resistance to moisture, oils, and flames.
12 AWG TGGT is designed with flexible stranding (typically 65 strands), making it much easier to route than standard building wire. However, because of its multiple layers of glass and Teflon tape, it is slightly stiffer than silicone-based SRML.

At 250°C, standard copper or tinned copper will oxidize rapidly, leading to brittle wires and failed connections. The2% Nickel coating (ASTM B355 )acts as a protective shield, allowing the copper core to remain flexible and conductive even after years of exposure to extreme heat.
Because TGGT is rated for 250°C, it has a much higher ampacity (current carrying capacity) than standard 90°C wire. However, always consult the NEC (National Electrical Code) for your specific equipment and ambient temperature to ensure the circuit is safely fused.
