In the realm of flexible heating, Kapton® heaters stand out as ultra-flexible, ultra-thin, and semitransparent marvels, deriving their name from Du Pont’s polyimide film. The custom Kapton® heater incorporates resistive circuitry with superior dielectric properties, ideal for applications that have weight and size constraints.
Unmatched Performance
Operating between -320°F and 392°F, Kapton® flexible heaters exhibit swift heating and cooling capabilities, serving a wide array of industries, from military equipment to medical diagnostic instruments. Careful and detailed chemical-etching ensures controlled heating circuits that provide uniform, precise heat distribution.
Crafting Excellence with Kapton®
Made from clear, amber-colored polyimide film, the Kapton® heating element undergoes a precise manufacturing process. The circuit pattern of these heaters is etched onto the bottom layer, finishing its construction, and including exceptional dielectric properties that are highly suitable for applications that involve high temperature.
Customizable for Varied Applications
Customizable and versatile, Kapton® heaters may be used in components such as thermal fuses, thermocouples, and thermostats. Widely used in analytic test equipment, medical instrumentation, LCDs, and 3D printers, their resilience and adaptability make them indispensable in demanding environments.
