Flexible heaters meet multiple needs in many industries — from medical electronics to burgeoning global telecommunication segments. Available in flat, molded-to-shape, spiral wrap, composite, and high-temperature configurations. Single, multiple or variable watt densities are designed to customize heat output to unique needs.They are manufactured from a variety of manufacturing materials, including silicone, Kapton®, and other flexible dielectric components.Catalog listings beginning with the letter "A" have a peel and stick adhesive on the back side of the heater. Each solution is designed to be bonded to other system parts or combined with Honeywell thermostats, thermistors, thermocouples, and temperature sensors to form custom-engineered heating systems.
Silicon chemically-etched flexible heaters contain resistive foil traces encased between two layers of fiberglass-supported silicone rubber bonded together using temperature and pressure. This material is easily vulcanized to metal parts. Heater trace patterns are generated similar to processes used in printed circuit board design and manufacture.
PSA simplifies installation. Variety of geometries such as flat, molded-to-shape and spiral wrap. Standard designs UL, CSA, and TUV approved.

They are used where multiple watt densities or varying trace geometries are required such as airborne valves, appliances, and medical electronics.
