UL and VDE approved manufacturing facilities

Polyimide (Kapton™) is a semitransparent, organic polymer film,
ideally suited for the manufacture of etch foil heater mats. With
its low thermal mass, superb electrical insulating properties and
excellent resistance to most chemicals, it allows high power
densities with fast and efficient thermal transfer. Being thin and
lightweight with a wide temperature range polyimide heaters
have a distinct advantage over other forms of heating elements.
Where fast response, chemical resistance and a low profile is
required polyimide heaters offer the ideal solution.
The mechanical properties of polyimide provide excellent tensile
strength, tear resistance and dimensional stability. Poyimide
heaters are ideal for applications requiring low outgassing in a
vacuum, or resistance to radiation, fungus and chemicals.
Polyimide is also very resistant to solvents.

Thermal Control:
An extensive range of thermal control devices can be
incorporated onto the heaters, these include thermocouples,
platinum sensors and limit switches. Pockets and housings can
also be applied enabling the client to install their own control
devices such as PT100’s and capillary thermostats.

Health & Safety:
The heaters are intended for use in industrial electric heating
apparatus. They correspond to the BE EN 60335-1:2002. The
heater has to be operated in accordance with these standards
and regulations. The heater should be installed on an electrical
system protected by a residual current circuit breaker.
