Litz Wire: modes of operation and applications
A Litz wire is an electrical conductor consisting of thin individual wires, which is used in electrical engineering for the transmission of high-frequency alternating current. The individual wires are often fine wires made of a copper alloy or electrolytic copper. In the manufacture of a Litz wire, the individual strands are first drawn and then[…]

FEP tubing and UV spirals in the context of application
Fluorinated ethylene-propylene (FEP), also known as a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene copolymer or perfluoro(ethylene-propylene), is a polymer made from the monomers tetrafluoroethylene and hexafluoropropylene. The material is fundamentally characterized by chemical inertness, high-temperature resistance, high flexibility, and good melt processing. GREMCO takes advantage of these exceptional material properties to manufacture special FEP tubing for a wide range of[…]

PTFE tubing: properties and application context
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is a long-molecular fluorine- and carbon-based polymer. The colloquial designation of the plastic as Teflon® is a protected brand name. PTFE tubing is characterized by its many properties, such as flame retardancy, chemical inertness, and very good dielectric strength. Furthermore, PTFE tubes can be easily assembled and are ideal for transporting a wide[…]
