Heating is a vital process in various types of applications that fall under the static and dynamic categories. Many applications that demand strict temperature ranges depend on uniform or controlled heating. This is where flexible heaters are essential. Many of these heaters are polyimide film heaters and are referred to in the industry as Kapton®® heaters. At JenTer Technologies, we offer high quality thermal solutions that include custom Kapton®® heater options that are useful in an array of industry applications.
Accurate Heating
A flexible Kapton®® film heater provides accurate heating and can be attached directly to thermal wells, heat sinks, metal plates, and many other items. The permanent bonding produced ensures an accurate and fast transfer of heat. These heaters can be embedded with various assemblies such as probes, sensors, fuses, and other devices for a complete turnkey solution.
