The polyester

flexible heating

element,

available also

in roll

form, is produced by an etching

process and is characterized by high quality and low

shrinkage polyester substrate. Thanks to edge w

attage compensation it

is possible to have a uniform

temperature

profile w

ith a

superior heat

transfer. This

design allows a quicker w

arm

The flexible heating element consists of an etched foil resistive elem

ent laminated betw

een two insulation layers.

Flexible heating foils produced by Zoppas Industries Heating Elem

ents Technologies start with a m

inimum

thickness of just 0.15 m

m, they can generate a heat up of 350°C

to allow excellent heat transfer results from

the heater’s thin design and direct bonding to an application. These heaters are of a thin design and construction and m

ade of flexible m

aterials to be shaped to fit almost any type of equipm

ent.The heaters can be applied to the m

ost complex shapes, geom

etries, curves and pipes conceivable without

sacrificing efficiency or dependability. Flexible heaters provide fast heat-up and cool-down rates, ensuring uniform

heat distribution at various w

att densities.
