Advantages of Flexible Silicone Rubber Heaters

Silicone rubber is ideally suited for the production of flexible heater mats with it’s low thermal mass, superb electrical insulation properties and robust construction. It allows high power densities and offers fast response to temperature control. With silicone’s wide temperature tolerance of –60°C to 230°C as well as being thin and lightweight it has distinct advantages over other forms of heating. Where direct, precise and intimate heating is required silicone heaters are the ideal solution.
