Electric Flexible Heater Applications

Durex Industries electric flexible heaters provide a versatile, lightweight, higher efficiency alternative to rigid metallic heaters in heating any surface quickly and efficiently. They can be attached easily with the use of Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA), vulcanization or can be held in place mechanically with the use of straps, springs or other closures. Flex heaters provide proven performance capabilities for applications that require:

  • Conforming to complex shapes and surfaces
  • Precision Custom heat profiles and temperature distribution
  • Small size, high power solutions
  • Space and vacuum applications
  • Lightweight Heater solutions

Flexible Heating Element Advantages

Thin layers of silicone rubber or polyimide encapsulate low profile wire-wound or etched foil circuits to allow for rapid heat transfer from the heating element to the work load surface.

Benefits to our flexible heating solutions include:

  • Easily adheres to surfaces through vulcanization or pressure sensitive adhesives
  • Ultra-thin profiles for fast, efficient heat transfer
  • Moisture resistant
  • Mold and bacteria resistant (polyimide materials)
  • Distributed wattages/multiple zones
