Polyimide flexible heaters, or Kapton heaters, are ideal for applications with space and weight limitations,
or where the heater will be exposed to vacuum, oil, or chemicals. These thin, flexible heaters are rugged,
accurate and reliable.

Benefits of Polyimide Flexible Heaters:
• Thin, lightweight heaters allow you to apply heat where it’ s needed, reducing operating
costs
• Etched-foil heating technology provides fast and efficient thermal transfer for increased
throughput
• Customized options ( i.e. SMT components, flex leads and connectors) offer turnkey
solutions to drastically reduce assembly time and increase productivity
• Custom profiling gives uniform thermal performance of the heating output to improve
processing yields and productivity

Features of Polyimide Flexible Heaters:
• FEP internal adhesive for use to 200° C ( 392° F)
• UL component recognition available
• Suitable for vacuum environments ( NASA-RP-1061)
• NASA approved materials for space applications ( S-311-P-079)
• Resistant to most chemicals: acids and solvents
• Radiation resistant to 10^ 6 rads ( custom option)
• Very small sizes available
• Fluid immersible designs available ( not standard)
