Correction. TEFZEL. We looked at Teflon
but not very hard. Excellent temperature ratings
but very expensive. Teflon extruded onto
the strands at such high temperatures that
you had to have silver plated strands.
Further, Teflon was softer and would cold-flow
under the pressure a too tight a cable tie.

Why is some Tefzel wire super stiff (like that purchased from Aircraft Spruce) while other Tefzel wire is much more flexible (like that purchased from Stein Air)?

Are the numbers printed on the wire *exactly* the same? If memory serves, many months ago I was trolling ebay for deals on milspec wire & in the process, found various numbers that all were Tefzel insulation, but some had thicker insulation (larger overall diameter) than others of the same gauge. I wish I could quote the numbers, but I failed to document what I found.

M22759/16 -- some I have bought (white) is very stiff while other (colors) is noticeably more flexible.

22759/18 is like /16 but “thin wall”, if I recall.

Here is a handy chart of wire species. You can google the coating abbreviations or the part numbers for more info

there is a catalog at: https://goo.gl/ZfNq9T
In this document, you will find that 22759 has
about 90+ 'slash' numbers that define variations
on the theme for this class of wire.
There are other mil-spec numbers describing
wire that is entirely suited to our tasks.
I am mystified that products in a particular
/number would demonstrate significant variations . . .
unless the variations are a feature not defined
in the root specification . . . flexibility may
indeed be one. But materials, construction and
dimensions should be consistent to the catalog
description.
