What is Silicone Rubber? Guide & Tips.

Silicone rubber (and applications requiring flexible silicone rubber circuits) has many uses in commercial and industrial applications. A rubber like material with many formulations silicone rubber is an inorganic synthetic elastomer offering a wide range of service temperatures (-60 to +230 Â°C) along with other unique characteristics and advantages. Some of which include special electrical properties with excellent dielectric and insulation characteristics. Further, silicone rubber heaters have excellent water/moisture, oil, solvent and chemical resistance along with great flexibility conforming to almost any shape with very good thermal resistance. Besides the above, silicone rubbers' flexibility, thin profile and low mass make it an excellent choice for etched foil or wire wound silicone rubber circuits.

Guide: Silicone Rubber Band, Strip And Mat Heaters-Product Description:

Typically, silicone rubber heaters consist of several layers of silicone rubber sheets that are bonded together through heat and high pressure. Often the silicone rubber mat heater has a fiberglass grid which is visible on the surface and provides reinforcement of the sheets. Alternatively, it is possible to make the surface of the silicone electric heater smooth ( ie. hide the surface of the fiberglass grid) by adding a thin layer of silicone. A uniformly wire wound resistance web (known as wire wound silicone mat heater construction) that covers the entire surface of the heater is then embedded within the layers of silicone rubber. Wire wound silicone rubber heaters are ideal where R & D prototyping for difficult and challenging applications is required. Additionally, silicone rubber heaters can be manufactured using etched foil track technology. With custom etched foil silicone rubber circuits, chemically etched resistive foils are used. The advanced computer designed etched foil circuit pattern is then laminated or bonded between thin layers of silicone rubber. One of the benefits of custom etched foil silicone heater track technology allows for the heater to transfer its energy with fast, precise and uniform heat distribution patterns.

Flexible heaters are extremely versatile and operate efficiently in many environments.

Some distinct advantages and tips of silicone rubber mat heaters are:

Moisture, chemical, Oil and solvent resistance provides longer heater life
Wire wound or etched foil construction allows for: A thin light profile heater providing low thermal mass and therefore rapid heat transfer with even heat distribution
Ease of installation - Can be vulcanized or bonded to your part or fastened with velcro, hooks and other available closure technologies
Outdoor exposure (-60 to +230 Ã‚Â°C)
Fabricated to conforms to almost any size or shape your components and or your equipment may require
Multizone or multicircuit designs allow for complete, precise temperature control

All custom/bespoke silicone rubber designs are built to order, but rush delivery is available. In most cases, NPH can deliver custom silicone rubber mat heaters within 48-96 hours.
