Everything you must know about silicone heater?

What is silicone heater?

Silicone rubber heaters are flexible, high-performance heating elements made from silicone rubber and conductor (3M backing tape is optional for assembly). The following stack-up picture shows clearly the structure of silicone heaters.

The features of silicone heaters:

Silicone heating elements offer flexibility, lightweight design and excellent thermal efficiency. They can withstand high temperatures (-40℃~280℃, and 250℃ for long term working) and provide uniform heat distribution.

The applications of silicone heaters:

Silicone heaters can also be customized in a wide variety of shapes, sizes and thicknesses. These unique properties and advantages of such heaters allow them to perform well in many fields, including medical devices, industrial machines, housing devices, and even aerospace. Silicone heaters are known for their durability and resistance to moisture and chemicals, making them ideal for environments where traditional heating methods may fail. Here are some application examples of silicone heaters.

Battery Protection

Nowadays, battery plays a more and more important role, especially in applications where temperature management is critical. These heaters are designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures for batteries, ensuring their performance and longevity in bad weather.

Medical Products

Silicone heaters are widely applied in medical devices in nowadays, including breathing machine, infusion and blood warmer, transfusion, diagnostic equipment and surgical tools. The unlimited shape and thickness as well as durability and resistance allow them to satisfy the special requirements. These features make silicone heaters a reliable choice in the medical field, improving patient care and the functionality of medical devices.

Machine Tool

Silicone heater can be also applied for machine tool. Such heaters can easily be bonded to equipment at your facility by the use of adhesives. In order to obtain the required temperature, we can also add temperature sensor, thermal switch or thermostats on the heater, and the location is adjustable.

In conclusion, silicone rubber heaters offer reliable and efficient heating solutions, making them indispensable in a wide range of applications. And the application is beyond our imagination.
