Silicone rubber is ideally suited for the production of flexible heater mats with it’s low thermal mass, superb electrical insulation properties and robust construction. It allows high power densities and offers fast response to temperature control. With silicone’s wide temperature tolerance of –60°C to 230°C as well as being thin and lightweight it has distinct advantages over other forms of heating. Where direct, precise and intimate heating is required silicone heaters are the ideal solution.

Foiled Etched Heaters

Foiled Etched Heaters

Advantages Of Etch Foil Heaters

Computer designed, chemically etched foil tracks are laminated between thin sheets of silicone to give precise, even heating. Suitable for both low and high volume production, Etched Foil Heaters have rapid heat up properties with precise temperature control. Suited to applications where high power densities are required, Etched Foil Heaters offer a more precise form of heating than their Wire Wound counterparts owing to wider heated tracks.

Applications

Etched Foil Heaters are suited to both high and low volume applications, applications which require a rapid heat-up times or where even surface heating is required. First Trace’s heaters are used in countless applications but Etched Foil Heaters have been regularly used for the following purposes; telecommunications, satellite dishes, laboratory equipment and commercial building to name just a few. If you’re not sure if a Etch Foil Heater would suit your requirements then please contact one of our technical support team who would be only too happy to advise you.

Wire Wound Heater

Wire Wound Silicone Heaters

Advantages Of Wire Wound Flexible Heaters

Using evenly spaced resistance wires laminated between sheets of silicone, Wire Wound Silicone Flexible Heating Elements are ideal for prototyping or problem solving applications. Manufactured to customer specifications these heaters can be made to suit almost any application. High flexibility can be obtained using tough, robust silicone materials that are finding ever-increasing applications in industries.


Applications

Wire Wound Silicone Flexible Heaters are generally suited to low volume applications or applications which require a flexible yet robust heating element. First Trace heaters are used in countless applications but Wire Wound Flexible Heaters have been regularly used for the following purposes; industrial catering, anti condensation, environmental control, composite repair of aircraft, GRP pipe curing and snow melting to name just a few. If you're not sure if a Wire Wound Flexible Heater would suit your requirements then please contact one of our technical support team who would be only too happy to advise you.
