DuPont™ Kapton® Polyimide Film & all-Polyimide Etch Foil Heaters
Ultra Thin. Low Mass. DuPont™ Kapton® Polyimide Film and All-Polyimide flexible etched foil heaters are ideal for applications requiring low outgassing, operating in extreme environments or where space and weight allowances are limited. The material has high dielectric strength and excellent dimensional stability for higher watt density and temperature applications, while providing lower operating costs and increased throughput.Very thinSuperior tensile strengthLow outgassingHigh dielectric strengthFlexible circuit designPrecise heat distributionIdeal for extreme temperature environmentsDownload Datasheet
Etched Mica Heaters
Heatron etched mica heaters offer an operating temperature range of -150°C to 500°C. A good choice for larger dimensions, tight traces and high watt density give you a greater level of performance control. Mica heaters are rigid, and have minimal out-gassing after first power up. Mounting holes ensure even application of heat.Highest watt density flex heaterHighest operating temperature flex heaterDistributed wattage allows for higher watt density at edgesIn-house assembly of leads and attachments availableZoned wattage, dual voltage, integrated sensors availableDownload Datasheet
Gas Line and Pump Line Heaters
Custom-fitted heating jackets for gas delivery and pump line systems eliminate cool spots and condensation issues in complex installations. Our heater systems are modular and easy to install, reducing downtime. Available for a range of pipe diameters and operating temperatures. System complexity is no problem. Flame rating up to 94 V-0 available.Uniform heating up to 200°CCustom designed for each installationModular systems reduce inventory on handRange of fastener, sensor, thermostat and fuse optionsFoam or formed silicone rubber options94HB and 94V-0 Flame Rating AvailableManufactured in the USADownload Datasheet
Silicone Etch Foil Heaters
Efficient. Reliable. Flexible. Combine the structural stability and flexibility of silicone rubber with the precise heating controls of etched foil, and you get Heatron's silicone etch foil heaters. The high-strength fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber housing can be vulcanized to conform to the contours of diversely shaped parts. Flexible silicone rubber heaters offer up to twice the wattage of wire wound options.Elimination of edge loss due to compensation using distributed wattageComplex heat distributionVariety of wattage and watt densityGreat heat coverageExcellent circuit repeatabilityFlexible heating elements can fit a number of custom applicationsDownload Datasheet
Silicone Wire Wound Heaters
Rugged. Reliable. Accurate. High-strength fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber gives the wire wound heater dimensional stability without sacrificing flexibility. Moisture and chemical resistant, HEATFLEX can be vulcanized to conform to the contours of irregularly shaped parts, equipping our wire wound heating elements with the exceptional ability to fit over your custom component and follow compound curves.High watt densitiesExcellent repeatabilityBetter choice for high flex applicationsFlexible heaters adapt to contoured surfaces with easeFreeze protection and condensation preventionResistant to many chemicalsEconomically facilitates high resistance applications and heater sizes not lending themselves to the etching processGlobal agency approvals: UL, CSA, TUV on most configurations.Download Datasheet
