Yes, it is teflon but the biggest problem I had, and why I am not going to replace them, is because I could not find replacement copper ferrules anywhere. I'm not a fan of reusing copper crush ferrules but I guess I will have to. You can buy the metal sleeves for the end (1st-Line carries them), for $4/ea but I believe the only way to get those ferrules is to buy the nut kit for $11/ea.
