Rugged, yet thin, lightweight, and flexible...The use of silicone rubber heaters is limited only by your imagination. With these heaters, you can put the heat where it's needed and, in the process, improve heat transfer, speed warm-ups and decrease wattage requirements. Fiberglass-reinforced silicone rubber gives your heater dimensional stability without sacrificing flexibility. Because very little material separates the element from the part, heat transfer is rapid and efficient.
General purpose Silicone Rubber Heaters have wire-wound or etched foil heating elements protected by fiberglass-reinforced silicone rubber designed for metal containers. Units operate at 115 Vac, 60 Hz, 10. Heaters have 12-inch leads for hook-up to a temperature controlling device. Heaters are available with or without non-reusable pressure-sensitive.
