Silicone Rubber - Industries & Applications

Silicone rubber heaters can be used anywhere that a flexible heater with excellent contact for heat transfer is desired. They can be made to almost any size and shape, which makes them particularly useful for applications like medical, food, and electronics warming. Applications already using silicone rubber heaters include:

  • Medical Devices
  • Stirrers and Hot Plates
  • Freeze Protection
  • Food Processing and Warming Devices
  • Semiconductor Processing Equipment
  • De-Icing Equipment
  • Vending and ATM Machines
  • Racing Industry
  • Photo Processing Equipment

Silicone rubber heaters can be customized for specific applications. Lead placement, cuouts, and pressure sensitive adhesive are just a few of the ways silicane rubber heaters can be tailored to a customer's needs.
