Silicone Rubber Heater – Flexible, Durable, and Energy-Efficient Heating Solution
A silicone rubber heater is a lightweight, flexible heating element designed for precise temperature control and uniform heat distribution across flat or irregular surfaces.
Constructed from high-quality silicone rubber laminated with nickel-chromium resistance wire, it offers excellent thermal transfer, water resistance, and mechanical durability—making it ideal for a wide range of industrial, medical, and laboratory applications.
Drum and Tank Heating Applications
Silicone rubber heaters are widely used for drum and tank heating to maintain fluid viscosity and prevent freezing of liquids such as oil, grease, glue, or chemicals.
Their flexible construction allows easy installation around curved metal surfaces, ensuring uniform temperature distribution without overheating.
This makes them an ideal solution for industrial storage, chemical processing, and food production facilities that require consistent temperature control.
Medical and Laboratory Equipment
In the medical and laboratory fields, silicone rubber heaters provide precise thermal stability for instruments such as incubators, analyzers, sterilizers, and sample heaters.
Their thin and lightweight structure enables seamless integration into devices where space is limited, while their clean, moisture-resistant surface ensures reliability in sensitive environments.
Custom designs can include built-in temperature sensors (PT100, thermocouples) for accurate feedback and control.
Electronics, Battery, and 3D Printing Systems
Flexible silicone rubber heaters are ideal for battery warming, 3D printer build plates, and electronic component enclosures.
They help maintain consistent operating temperatures, prevent condensation, and improve energy efficiency in low-temperature environments.
Their customizable size, shape, and watt density make them suitable for EV battery systems, additive manufacturing, and semiconductor applications.
