Silicone Rubber Heater Manufacturers

Why Choose Silicone Rubber Heaters?

When it comes to heaters, many of us will find ourselves choosing between the popular options of flexible aluminum foil heaters, polyimide heaters, and silicone rubber heaters. But silicone rubber heaters do come with their unique advantages. Here are a few to consider:

• Silicone rubber is more durable and rugged, offering great wear protection from both abrasion and mechanical damage.
• Silicone rubber also provides an effective moisture barrier, which makes heaters usable in outdoor or damp environments.
• A Flexible Silicone Heater can be vulcanized or bonded to metal surfaces. This ensures good adhesion and better heat transfer.
• We can make a Custom Silicone Heater to directly match your needs.

Are Silicone Rubber Heaters Right For You?

Of course, whether silicone rubber heaters are the right option for you will fall entirely down to your individual needs and preferences. If you need extremely high thermal ramp-up, you may find that the thickness of silicone rubber can delay thermal transfer and polyimide or aluminum foil heaters could be a preferable option.

Whichever type of heater you opt for, it’s good to know that we have a solid reputation of meeting the needs of both commercial and industrial customers and have been providing top quality customer service for decades.

FAQs

WHAT IS A SILICONE RUBBER HEATER?

A silicone rubber heater is a very practical heating element choice for a wide variety of applications. It is made by sealing the heater wire in silicone rubber, which provides high resistance to moisture as well as good resistance to any type of mechanical damage or wear and tear on the surface. While silicone rubber heaters can be used without being bonded to a metal surface, the bonding ability makes them a cost-effective option in many types of applications.

IS A CONTROL NEEDED FOR A SILICONE RUBBER HEATER?

Deciding to use a control for a silicone rubber heater is based on the specific type of application. A control or thermostat can be used to provide a greater heat range for the heating element. When all that is required is for the element to reach maximum temperature and remain at that temperature, a control may not be required.

WHAT ARE THE STANDARD SIZES OF SILICONE RUBBER HEATERS?

As a flexible element, a silicone rubber heater can be built to meet the needs of our customers. We can work with smaller-sized heating element requirements to larger heaters needed in industrial or manufacturing systems and processes.

HOW DOES A SILICONE RUBBER HEATER WORK?

A silicone rubber heater is built to include a resistance wire that is sandwiched between two sheets of silicon rubber. The two silicone rubber sheets are bonded to each other, holding the wire in the desired pattern. The size, heat range, and optional features of the heater are customized to the specifications of our customers.
