Product Description

Silicone Heat Tape

Silicone rubber heaters can apply finely controlled heat directly where it is needed with run after run consistency. Even on complex shapes and irregular sizes. Silicone heaters are quick to ramp up and cool down. Variable watt densities and multi-zoned options give us a high degree of design flexibility. Whether flat, curved or completely custom, flexible silicone heaters are in direct contact with a surface. That direct heat transfer coupled with low mass properties allows for powerful temperature control. We can customize heat distribution wherever it matters most to your application such as the regionalizing of watt density to prevent edgeloss.

From 12VDC to 600VAC we can design your heater to work with your power specs and deliver heat precisely where it is needed. Powerful watt densities up to 30 Watts per sq/inch offer a wide range of possibilities. Dual Voltages (3 and 4 lead wire versions) can be designed for multiple fixed heat settings or even a 120/240 dual use product. We have designed custom heaters for industry specific voltages such as those found in aerospace and ground transportation. If your supply voltage is 3-phase we can design for that too.

Silicone Rubber Heaters are available in two types

Wire wound
Etched foil

Wire wound elements consist of the resistance wire wound on a fiberglass cord for support and stability. Wire wound is recommended and preferred for all large and small sized heaters.

Etched foil heaters are made with a thin metal foil (.001") as the resistance element. The etched foil heater provide exceptional heat transfer compared to wire wound elements, due to its large flat surface area. It can deliver more uniform heat profiles with higher watt densities, providing longer operating heater life.

Silicone rubber flexible heaters for composite repair and manufacturing

Consider how durable silicone heaters are. Our silicone rubber flexible heaters strengthen everything from windmills to planes. The water resistance and strength make it a great addition to even heavy-duty parts.

But silicone rubber heaters can also be fit for composite manufacturing. We can customize a heater if you work with open, closed, or cast polymer molding. We even tackle complicated curvatures, creating solutions for your manufacturing processes.

Our composite heaters maintain a continuous temperature of up to 400° Fahrenheit. We can incorporate thermocouples into the design and set up a shipment schedule.
