Flexible heaters offer superior tensile strength and tear resistance, with precision heat distribution. They are ideal for extreme temperature environments, from -319°F to +392°F (-195°C to +200°C). Heaters are in stock standard at 0.0007” (0.2mm) thick and up to 20”x26” (.508m x .660m) areas. Watt density is 5W/in² (0.8W/cm²) standard, with units available to 50W/in² (7.8W/cm²).

Flexible heaters


Benefits

  • Rugged construction provides high reliability in a wide range of heating applications and reduces need for field repair and replacement
  • Optional custom profiled heat density creates a uniform heat sink temperature which can improve processing yields
  • Factory vulcanization and high temperature capability allows higher wattage levels for faster processing


Features

  • High temperature capability to 235°C (455°F)
  • Can be factory vulcanized to metal parts without adhesive
  • Resistant to many chemicals
  • Not suitable for radiation, vacuum, or prolonged exposure to oil
  • Most economical in large sizes


Typical applications

  • Thermal developing in graphic imaging equipment
  • Prevent condensation in motors or instrument cabinets
  • Heat outdoor electronics
  • Food service equipment
  • Medical respirators
  • Laminators
  • Drums and other vessels
  • Airplane engine heaters
