They are extremely flexible, yet durable, and can withstand temperatures up to 121☌ (250☏). Read more about mica heaters.īutyl Heaters: Birk Manufacturing produces butyl flexible heaters for use in hazardous locations. Our mica heating elements possess a high watt density of over 150 W/in² and a maximum temperature capability of 600☌. Mica Heaters: Birk Manufacturing’s mica heaters are designed for applications that demand fast temperature recovery and higher than normal watt densities.

Our polyimide insulated heaters are suited for complex and compact applications and possess a temperature capability of 260☌ (500☏). They assure uniform heat distribution and fast heat-up and cool-down times. Kapton® Heaters: Birk’s Kapton® heaters can be designed as ultra-thin flexible heaters. These flexible heaters are suited for temperatures up to 200☌ (400☏).


They assure the best dimensional stability. Silicone Rubber Heaters: Silicone rubber heaters are chemical-resistant, flexible, and rugged. These integrations will allow you to save time, effort, and money and focus entirely on the results. We have developed proprietary vulcanization processes, which help ensure superior bonding between the heater and the application surfaces.īirk Manufacturing can integrate temperature control devices such as controllers, sensors, SMT components, and others to offer you a turnkey solution. You can choose specific materials depending on your application requirements, such as resistance to UV radiation, chemicals, moisture, and so on. In addition to this, these materials make them lightweight and ideal for a wide range of temperatures from 392☏/200☌ to 1112☏/600☌. These materials are proven to contribute to the thermal efficiencies of flexible heating elements. Our flexible heaters are made using materials such as silicone rubber, Kapton®, mica, and butyl. Our high temperature heating element can be customized with various specifications in terms of custom shapes, thicknesses, build-ups, multiple circuits, and shaded watt densities. Our in-depth understanding of industrial thermal requirements, combined with the best practices of engineering and adherence to quality, enables us to produce performance-driven commercial grade flexible heating elements. Today, we are considered one of the leading flexible heater manufacturers in the US.

Wire-wound heaters can be easily placed in long patterns for applications that require large heaters. Their thinness and flexibility allow them to be wrapped around complex shapes and fit into tight corners. Of these, the etched foil flexible heating elements can be made extremely thin, which makes them suited for tight spaces. We can provide etched foil flexible heaters as well as wire-wound flexible heating elements. Increases power output by 10-30 for PTC heaters. Lowers operating temperature by 2045C in e-motors as a NKN slot liner. Owing to their flexible properties, these heaters can be used to heat applications with complex geometries and applications that require heaters with lightweight construction, low thermal mass, and minimal thickness. Kapton MT+ Higher Thermally Conductive Film These films with superior thermal conductivity of 0.8 W/mK are available as thin as 38 m up to 127 m. Polyimide Thermofoil™ heaters are ideal for applications with space and weight limitations, or where the heater will be exposed to vacuum, oil, or chemicals.Birk Manufacturing produces flexible heating elements which are thin, reliable, and easily conformable to any shape. Polyimide (Kapton™) is a thin, semitransparent material with excellent dielectric strength.
