Silicone heater Friedr Freek GmbH
Multifunctional use, uniform heating:
Contact heating of flat surfaces. We manufacture flat heating elements in several materials customised to your application.
SILICONE heater mats consist of heating wire or an etched heating foil, which is encapsulated and insulated between two silicone mats strengthened by textile glass fibers. They are suitable especially for applications requiring precise temperature and homogeneous heat distribution. Due to their low thermal mass they distinguish by quick response and an excellent controllability. Their low mass and small construction height make them interesting for many aerospace applications. Their resistance against moisture and humidity (IP 54 and higher) recommends them for laboratory equipment, catering appliances and frost or condensation protection especially of electronic components. The only restriction of this versatile heater: its max. continuous operating temperature of 200° C (up to 230° C for short periods).
Fitting for your application, silicone heater mats can be build in nearly every dimension and geometry with numerous extra-components, e. g. thermocouples, limiters and thermal fuses.
Especially for larger quantities we recommend to use heating mats with etched heating foil. In regard to forms, dimensions and complexity of heat distribution they are as variable as heaters with heating wire. Through shorter distances and larger surface of etched strip conductors they reach an even higher watt density and a more homogeneous heat distribution.
