Product descriptionFoil heaters made of polyimide (Kapton™) are very thin, lightweight and flexible heating elements. They operate over a wide temperature range from -40°C to +200°C and can be installed in outdoor environments. These heaters tolerate continuous vibration and show resistance to fungus, chemicals and solvents.
The polyimide material provides excellent electrical insulation and high power density for uniform heat distribution. The low thermal mass permits rapid temperature changes and mounting on both flat and curved surfaces.
This heating technology is commonly used in laboratory and research equipment, medical instruments, sterilizers, military equipment, photo-technical devices, displays and similar applications.
Options / AccessoriesIHP can supply and mount temperature control components such as sensors, thermocouples, thermostats and fuses. Complete control systems and on-site installation at customer facilities can be provided on request.
