Silicone Rubber Heaters are thin, flexible, electric heaters that can be used up to 500°F/260°C intermittently and 392°F/200°C continuously. They are physically resistant to many adverse operating conditions.They are manufactured with either a rough or smooth material and with either a wire wound or etched foil heating element. They are ideal for a large variety of applications and industries.Flexible silicone rubber heaters can be a simple solution to a complex heating problem. They can be produced using different material thicknesses and textures. Multiple layers can be applied for a thicker heater application. Additional layers can be used to create an outer seal around the internal heater. For example, a two-layer 10"× 10" heater can be sandwiched between two 11" × 11" outer layers. The internal heat distribution patterns allows for the heater element wire to be placed as close as 5/32" from the edge of the flexible heater. The heat pattern can be distributed to accommodate holes or cutouts, or to concentrate the heat in specific sections of the flexible heater as the application dictates.
