Kapton Heaters-UL Listed, Kapton Film Heaters, Flexible Heaters

UL Listed Kapton (Polyimide) Film Heaters & Custom Kapton Heater Circuits For-3D Printers, Electronic Components, ATM's & Printers

 

Kapton Film has been around since the late 1960's. Besides its great abrasion resistant properties polyimide film is an organic polymer that is suitable for extreme/harsh temperature environments. Typically from -319°F to +392°F (-195°C to +200°C). Polyimide film also has very high dielectric strength capabilities along with low outgassing properties making it suitable in vacuum environments. Along with the above, its flexibility, thin profile, low mass and precision/even heat distribution make it an excellent choice for etched foil kapton heater circuits.

 

                          

 

Review, Product Description and Benefits of Bespoke Kapton (Polyimide) Film Heaters:
Kapton polyimide heater circuits are custom manufactured using etched foil track technology. With etched foil kapton (polyimide) heaters, chemically etched resistive foils are used. The advanced computer designed etched foil circuit pattern is then laminated or bonded between two sheets of polyimide insulating film.

 

Benefits of custom/bespoke and UL listed kapton (polyimide) etched foil film heaters are as follows:

        The transparent polyimide film allows easy visual inspection of the internal etched foil track or circuit           

        Polyimide film is known for superior tensile strength and resistance

        Kapton (Polyimide) Heaters are resistant to radiation and fungus and hence can be used in commercial and

           industrial applications

 

        Kapton polyimide films ultra thin structure, light weight and small thermal mass transfers heat quickly

           and evenly. It further allows installation in environments where space and weight contraints must be met

               

        Custom (bespoke) kapton polyimide heaters allow for higher power densities from 1W/sq. in to as high as 50W/sq. in.

        Due to polyimide films excellent physical and electrical properties a thermal stability can be achieved

           over wide temperature ranges

        Kapton heater circuits use advanced circuit imaging and printing combined with chemical

           etching of the foil track which allows engineers and designers the flexibility to distribute

           wattage, allow for precise heat distribution and create multiple heat patterns within

           a single heater.

        Kapton heaters conform to almost any shape and are formable, flexible/bendable and bondable

           to metalwork
