Highlights of Micathermic Heater

Micathermic heater uses mica as insulated material.
Due to its superior dielectric strength and high thermal conductivity, mica is one of best insulation materials.
According to its different applications, mica heaters can be manufactured into many different types, such as mica strip heater, mica band heater, and mica heating element.
A nickel-chromium wire is often used as the heating core.
Due to the higher thermal conductivity of mica, we can apply thinner insulation layer inside the heater, the heat flows easily from the heating core to the sheath surface.
This results in a lower watt density on the heated surface and less heat dissipates.
Thus micathermic heaters are very economical, compared with the heaters using other insulation materials.
