RS PRO Silicone Heater Mat, 240V ac, 400 W Rectangle, 300 mm 200mm

Foam Insulated Heater Mats

Foam insulated heater mats are thin and lightweight and have a low thermal mass, hence their rapid heat up characteristics and fast response to temperature control. The mats wide operating temperature range, flexibility and superb electrical properties give them a distinct advantage over other forms of heating.
The high performance foam insulation delivers an increase in efficiency and performance. Reducing the thermal losses of the element in turn reduces heat up times and allows operating temperatures to be more easily maintained.
The addition of the Thermocouple component allows universal controller compatibility and when combined with the insulating foam layer ensures accurate and efficient heating performance.

Features and Benefits

• Designed for use in areas where standard heating methods are difficult to apply
• Backing adhesive from Nitto, no loss in performance
• Flexible silicone with etched foil heating elements
• Vulcanised layer of closed cell thermally insulating foam of 8 mm thickness
• PTFE braided thermocouple type J incorporated offering universal controllability
• Operating temperature +180°C (intermittent maximum due to adhesive) 150°C continuous use

Multi-Purpose Process Heaters

In order to obtain optimum performance from these products, it is advised that temperature sensing and control elements be used with them.

Warning

These heaters shall only be used where adequate electrical, thermal and mechanical barriers are provided to prevent access to hazardous parts without the use of a tool.
