Yes, it’s the same as CHeflon, but that’s trademarked, so I’d better not mention it by name.
Simply put, a PTFE heater is a longer Stainless Steel element than normal, with a protective sheath pulled over it, to assist with chemical ingress resistance. A bit like putting a condom on an elephant, one would guess. Longer element required to allow lower watt density, and therefore surface temperature, so as not to melt the PTFE coating.
The image below shows all of the various shapes and bends which can be achieved, if you are unable to accomodate the drops listed in the table further down the page.
Our heaters feature:
- PTFE sheathed Stainless Steel element

Everybodies application is different, and I much prefer to chat thru the peculiarites in person. Texts & emails lack detail & nuance. And there are a range of options we can employ to get round any issues. If you have a low level of solution, we can come out of the terminal box without the horizontal section, giving 18″ of cold drop. The downside to this is that the heater then needs to be suspended over the solution, potentially in any vapours rising, etc. Swings & Roundabouts, which are best discussed. So please call Jamie on 07897 246779 to discuss your PTFE Over the Side Vat Heater needs.
