SILFLEX
Silicone rubber heaters

SILFLEX silicone rubber heaters consist of many layers of silicone rubber sheets that are bonded together through heat and high pressure. A fiberglass grid (which is visible on the surface) reinforces the silicone rubber sheets. It is possible to make the surface of the silicone rubber heaters smooth (i.e. Make the grid invisible) by covering the fiberglass with a thin layer of silicone.

A uniformly spiraled resistance wire web that covers the entire surface of the heater is embedded within the layers of silicone rubber. This web could be designed such that holes and cutouts are incorporated on the silicone rubber heater.

When SILFLEX silicone rubber heaters are made with a pressure sensitive adhesive backing, a thin layer of aluminum is added prior to the adhesive layer, in order to improve heat transfer and maintain its uniformity. This construction makes SILFLEX silicone rubber heaters an ideal solution to the requirements of may low and medium temperature applications, which do not conform to the standard shapes, sizes and dimensions of band, strip, cartridge, tubular and coil heaters.

SILFLEX silicone rubber heaters are CSA certified.
