Standard Silicone Rubber Heater Technical Information Silicone rubber is a rugged, flexible elastomer material with excellent temperature properties. It is most suited to larger heaters and industrial applications. * High temperature capability to 235°C (455°F) * UL component recognition available * Can be factory vulcanized to metal parts without adhesive * Resistant to many chemicals * Not suitable for radiation, vacuum, or prolonged exposure to oil * Most economical in large sizes Upper limit with UL component recognition is 220°C (428°F) Fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber, 0.008" (0.20 mm) ±10% or ±0.5 ohms, whichever is greater Add 0.005" (0.1 mm) to above dimensions for foil backing. http://listserve.minco.com/pdfdocs/dwg.php?baseprefix=HR&basenumber=5242 Click here to configure a Silicone Rubber heater * Section C - Silicone Rubber Heaters (Foil) * Section D - Standard Kapton™ and Rubber Heaters * White Paper: Estimating Power Requirements of Etched-foil Heaters * White paper: Prototyping Techniques for Etched-foil Heaters (Minco silicone rubber thermofoil heater HR5242 R10.3 is the responsibility of Cathy Kinney) |
