Polyimide Heaters


Enlarge Image
  • Flexible layer of resistive foil (typically a nickel alloy) bonded to an un-reinforced polyimide dielectric film on at least one side
  • Provides even heating over a broad area with minimum heat loss
  • Direct contact heating and low mass produces rapid heat-up and optimum heat transfer
  • Excellent choice for aerospace and medical device applications that require a compact, low profile, lightweight heating method

OverviewFeaturesOptionsApplications

Vulcan Flexible Polyimide Heaters provide an excellent heating solution for many of today's advanced and complex product configurations. These heaters are offered with complete design customization of the heating patterns to ensure optimum heat placement and maximum operating efficiency for a specific application. In addition to the advantages of uniform heat distribution, these flexible heater constructions are often chosen over other heater types due to their , low profile, light weight, and excellent thermal properties in a wide range of application environments.
