Flexible Heating Elements

Etched foil heaters technology

The flexible heating elements is the result of printed circuit technology (etched foil) and was developed in order to solve specific problems in advanced market sectors such as the space and aviation fields. In a relatively short time, the etched foil heaters technology has found applications in many other fields, allowing users to solve problems of particular importance thanks to the following characteristics:

• Can be set to vary heat concentrations to optimize distribution
• Minimum heat dispersion in case of external application on the object to be heated
• Can be molded
• Easy to assemble
• Overall economical in many applications
• Flexibility

Minimum weight and thickness

• Mica 0,9 mm
• Polyimide 0,15 mm
• Silicone 0,8 mm
• Poliestere 0,15-0,25
