Polyimide/Kapton Heaters

Characteristics of Polyimide/Kapton Heaters

Polyimide/Kapton heaters are renowned for their excellent thermal stability, being able to endure high temperatures without significant degradation. They possess outstanding electrical insulation, reducing the likelihood of short circuits. These heaters are highly flexible, allowing them to conform to various shapes, and have a thin profile. Their chemical resistance is also notable, enabling them to function in diverse environments.

Advantages in Applications

In the automotive and transportation industry, for heating elements in car seat heating and other accessories, flexible single-sided adhesive PI heating membranes, and custom-shaped PI electrothermal sheets and plates. The flexibility of these heaters permits seamless integration into the contours of car seats and other components. The accurate temperature control of heaters is crucial for passenger comfort and safety. Their durability and reliability under the rigors of automotive use ensure long-term stable operation. The ability to customize in different shapes meets the specific design requirements of automotive parts.

Maintenance

Regularly check the surface of the heater for any signs of damage such as scratches or delamination. Inspect the electrical connections to ensure they are tight and free from corrosion. Monitor the resistance of the heating elements to ensure it is within the normal range. Avoid exposing the heater to harsh chemicals or solvents that could damage the polyimide. Also, ensure the power supply to the heaters is within the rated range to prevent overheating and damage to the Polyimide/Kapton Heaters.
