Silicone
Rubber Flexible Heater Mats
| |
| Owing to their exceptional
characteristics such as, flexibility, light weight, low thermal mass, even
heat distribution and ease of installation, silicone rubber insulated
flexible heater mats are used extensively in a large variety of
applications where alternative heater designs would be totally
unsatisfactory. RTL manufactured Silicone Rubber Flexible Heater Mats will provide smooth and even heat to the surface to be heated, without hot spots, providing that the heater is maintained in permanent, intimate contact with that surface, in order to ensure constant even heat transfer. Therefore, permanent bonding using one of the methods described in ''Mounting'', below, is to be recommended. Standard Construction Pre-formed heating element made from high quality fine resistance wire sandwiched between two plies of fibre glass reinforced silicone rubber sheet. The laminate is cured under heat and pressure. Terminations By twin core silicone rubber sheathed cable moulded into the heater mat resulting in a waterproof joint with high electrical and mechanical strength. Mounting Plain heater mats can be bonded permanently using RTV silicone adhesive systems, alternatively, they can be clamped, strapped or laced into position, (eyelets can be positioned at specified intervals on opposite edges). Self adhesive heater mats are available for easy assembly and curing into position on many types of surfaces. |
