Question 1

What is a silicone rubber flexible heater?

Accepted Answer

Our flexible heater elements are made by vulcanizing an alloy resistive wire between thin layers of fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber sheets. The end result is a thin (approx 0.060") heating element that can operate at up to 450F. With this basic building block we make all of our heaters, Drum heaters, semi-conductor (TECH1), motor heaters, enclosure heaters and more. We have the engineering and manufacturing ability to make almost any custom heater to fit your needs.
