Flexible Rubber Heaters

Features:

• Flexible and bendable to right angles
• Moisture resistant
• Direct bonding to part being heated
• Thin and light weight construction
• Can be designed and shaped to your imagination (holes notches etc)
• Fast heat up and guick cool down
• High watt densities possible

Flexible Rubber Heaters provide solutions to many of todays complex heating problems. These lightweight, Ultra thin, water resistant, ozone resistant heaters were designed for the aerospace and aeronautical industry. They are available in a variety of insulating materials and can be cnanufactured with wire wound or etched foil. The heaters are available with built in thermocouples, thermistors, thermostats and very high temperature cutoffs. Flexible Rubber Heaters are also available vulcanized to parts or could be fastened with spring loaded clamps, eyelets for lacing up or by clamping or compression.
