Silicone Heaters
General information
Silicone heating mats are used to keep components of various shapes at a constant temperature or to heat them. Thanks to their even heat distribution, silicone heating mats are particularly suitable for complex structures and surfaces. They can be manufactured in virtually any shape and size. Their special construction protects them against moisture, chemical influences and environmental stresses.
Silicone heating mats are used in the following applications, amongst others:
Telecommunications, electronics & 3D printers
Barrel and container heating
Laboratory equipment
Anti-condensation
Catering
Hospitals

Installation and commissioning
Care must be taken during installation to avoid deforming the silicon heating element. Difficult installation conditions should be taken into account at the design stage. The heating elements must only be operated with a suitable temperature control system.
The following points must be observed:
Do not drill, cut or damage the heating mat
Clean and degrease the surface of the component to be heated before fixing the heating mats.
The use of a temperature controller (thermostats, sensors, limiters, etc.) is strongly recommended. In certain applications, this is essential to ensure the heating mats function correctly. The maximum surface temperature must not be exceeded.
The entire surface of the mat must be in perfect contact with the heated surface at every point. Contact heat transfer.
Avoid any contact with materials to which the silicone elastomer is not resistant.
