Product overview
Polyester foil heaters, also called PET heaters, are very thin and flexible heating elements. They provide high heat transfer capacity and uniform temperature distribution across the active area. A PET heater is suitable for contact heating of flat and cylindrical surfaces and can also be integrated into reflector applications. These extremely flexible foil heaters are manufactured by a proven screen-printing process that allows the resistive traces to be made thin, wide and homogeneous. The foil heaters can be supplied with various self-adhesive backing options to suit different installation environments. Surface-mounted sensors, thermocouples, thermostats and fuses are commonly used for temperature control and protection.
