Choice of flexible heaters

We offer different solutions using the following flexible heater supports and insulation materials: mica, polymide, silicone and polyester. These flexible heater supports differ from their features and they are suitable for different fields of application. Depending on the design, the different combinations of incorporated materials determine the final product characteristics.The following table shows the specific features:
