Flexible heating element 183 series

kaptonpolyimidefor laboratory applications

Product description
Polyimide foil heaters are ultra-thin, lightweight and flexible heating elements suitable for direct surface application on flat or curved parts. The material (polyimide, e.g. Kapton™) provides high dielectric strength and high power density, delivering uniform heating with low thermal mass.

Applications

• Laboratory and research equipment
• Medical instruments and sterilization devices
• Military and defense equipment
• Photo-technical equipment, displays and optical systems

Options and integrations

• Integration of temperature sensors (RTD, thermocouples) and thermostats
• Fuses and overtemperature protection on request
• Complete control system supply and on-site installation
• Custom shapes, sizes and connection options according to customer specifications
