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.
TGGT wire is rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 250°C (482°F). This high thermal ceiling is achieved through its specialized multi-layer construction, which includes PTFE (Teflon) tape insulation and fiberglass braiding. This makes it an ideal choice for high-heat environments like commercial ovens, industrial kilns, and heater bands where standard silicone-based wires would fail.
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. While TGGT has a slightly higher friction coefficient than THHN, it can be pulled through conduit. We recommend using a high-temp pulling lubricant and checking NEC tables for conduit fill, as the OD is slightly larger than standard 6 AWG wire.
TGGT is rated for 250°C and uses Teflon/Glass, whereas SRML is rated for 200°C and uses silicone rubber. TGGT offers better chemical resistance and higher heat limits, while SRML is generally more "rubbery."
Yes. Our TGGT features a fiberglass jacket impregnated with a high-temperature finish that resists moisture, oils, and chemical vapors commonly found in industrial plants.
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.
Yes. We carry a comprehensive range of high-temperature wire, including SIS, SRML, TGGT, & MG designed for everything from industrial motor leads to commercial oven circuitry. Each product page includes detailed engineering specs, such as strand counts, insulation materials, and UL listings.
