Thick Film Aluminum (Al)

High thermal conductivity makes Aluminum an excellent substrate where fast, uniform heat transfer is required. Aluminum’s anodization acts as a natural insulator that offers outstanding reliability and efficiency. Recommended for low-heat and 3-dimensional installations.

  • Steady, low heat up to 150°C
  • Excellent thermal conductivity
  • Low thermal resistance
  • Fast ramp-up and cool-down
  • High temperature uniformity
  • Flexible and bendable to 90°
  • Precise, repeatable heating pattern
  • Distributed wattage
