Silicone Flexible Heating

Silicone flexible heating can be produced in a variety of custom shapes and sizes, from as small as 1" square to 18" x 24". Even larger components can be produced using wire-bound construction. Silicone flexible heating is an excellent product when weight, durability, precise heating and thermal control are required.

What are silicone rubber heaters used for?

Thanks to their versatility, silicone rubber heaters are in various applications. Among the most interesting are ATMs and vending machines. Both equipment types must maintain a consistent temperature. Both machines can be in areas that expose them to the elements. But, even indoors, they must make it through power outages or HVAC equipment failures.

Silicone rubber heaters are also found in other food display cases. Vendors use these cases to keep food warm. You might find one in a grocery store or convenience mart. Employees keep food warm for hours, letting customers grab items at their leisure.

But ATM and vending machine heaters and those in display cases differ. The latter aims to maintain food warmth to a precise temperature over time. The former protects the sensitive internal components of the equipment against the elements. So, a lower temperature will suffice.

Silicone rubber heaters also protect components from moisture. It acts as an insulator, resisting condensation and moisture to keep components dry. This applies to the above-mentioned equipment but can also benefit technology, such as printers, semiconductors, and photo processors. Thus, manufacturers must specify the heater's use to ensure it meets their needs.

The medical field also uses equipment that demands heaters. Moisture resistance and temperature regulation apply, but the medical industry must also regulate the temperature of certain liquids and chemicals. Flexible heaters maintain consistent temperatures in blood analyzers, hydrotherapy units, and liquid reservoirs.
