Custom Kapton® / Polyimide Heat Elements

Custom Polyimide Heaters designed for your exact application from Thermal Circuits, Inc.

An etched foil design element is the circuitry for Kapton® / Polyimide heaters. These heaters are transparent, lightweight, flexible and are electrically strong. Polyimide heaters are compatible with foil element alloys as inconel, nickel, copper, and stainless steel. They have low outgassing properties, are resistant to solvents and can be produced with special internal adhesive systems that permit higher operating temperatures. Heat curing film and pressure sensitive systems are available for mounting. Control and sensing devices can be incorporated.

Basic Custom Polyimide Heater Features:

• UL & CSA Recognized
• 300 Degrees Celsius (572º F) Maximum
• Moisture and Chemical Resistant
• Formable and Flexible
• Bondable to Metalwork
• These basic features and any requirements can be custom designed and produced, just let us know what you are trying to accomplish.

About Thermal Circuits:

Thermal Circuits Inc. is a manufacturer of surface heaters, air heaters, molded heaters, heater assemblies, and infrared panel emitters. We service a wide variety of markets and geographic areas and, through continuous quality improvement, strive to maintain world-class leadership in all aspects of our business.

"Firsts" from Thermal Circuits continued during the 1970's and 1980's. We designed, prototyped and produced heaters and assemblies for the first etched foil-heated cafeteria food service stations, infant incubators, hospital warming cabinets, automobile side-view mirrors, kitchen electrics(mini-skillets, deep-fat fryers), and personal care appliances(mist hair setters, styling wands).

This growth prompted the construction in 1996 of a single-storied, 52,000 square foot building which is Thermal Circuits' new home. Still in Salem, the company is owned by its corporate partners and is the anchor company in a newly-developed industrial park. The new facility is state-of-the-art and second to none.
