Highlights of Kapton Heater

Kapton heater is also known as polyimide foil heater.
Kapton is a product of DuPont.
The etched foil are used as the heating element and they are encapsulated between two layers of kapton films.
The etched foils are manufactured by chemically etching a resistive circuit in nichel alloy foils.
The Kapton films utilize a Teflon FEP adhesive or acrylic adhesive to bond together.
As an insulation material, the kapton film are semitransparent, ultra-thin and ultra-flexible.
Due to its special construction and properties, kapton heaters are widely used in aerospace, aircraft industry, semiconductor processing, medical, food machinery and etc.
With low outgassing, they are also used in vacuum environments.
They can endure radiation, vibration and fungus.
Panshine’s Kapton heaters offer superb tensile strength, dimensional stability and tear resistance.
Due to their low thermal mass and design features, these heaters respond fast to temperature change and have fast heat-up and cooling-down characteristics.
Panshine’s heaters are suitable for applications where precise heating and temperature control are required.
