Silicone Rubber Heaters
Silicone rubber heaters are a rugged solution for industrial and general use applications. All Flex’s flexible silicone rubber heaters provide high thermal ratings at a lower cost, making them ideal for general heater applications that may benefit from their overall mechanical properties.
When to Use Silicone Rubber Heaters
-
- For general heater applications requiring its overall mechanical properties
- In outdoor or wet environments or when the overall thickness provides more mechanical protection from damage
Silicone Rubber Heater Features
- Silicone rubber heaters have a higher thermal rating up to 450°F/ 232C
- Lower cost when compared to polyimide heaters
- Overall thickness of the finished heater is .015″ – .060″
- Less flexible than polyimide with a bend radius of 1.5”, so silicone rubber heaters are not ideal for component assembly
- Heavier than polyimide
