All-polyimide heaters are used in a wide range of industries:
Aerospace: Weight savings and extremely robust systems are crucial here. All-polyimide heaters impress with a minimum bending radius of 0.8 mm and their ultra-thin design with a minimum thickness of just 0.127 mm (up to 1.24 mm at connections). This feature reduces the overall weight and enables flexible integration into tightly dimensioned, aircraft-specific structures. Thanks to the outstanding material properties, these heaters can withstandstrong UV radiation, cryogenic temperatures of -200°C and are fully vacuum-compatible - a must for operation in satellites or spacecraft. The combination of low weight and vacuum compatibility ensures that critical systems function optimally even under extreme conditions. Learn more.
Semiconductor production: The production of semiconductors requires precise temperature control, as even the smallest deviations can lead to high levels of rejects or defects. All-polyimide heaters guarantee excellent thermal stability with an accuracy of up to ±0.1°C. In addition, these heaters areideal for clean rooms as they do not release any particles and therefore meet the strict hygiene requirements in semiconductor production. Their ability to maintain constant temperatures up to +300°C ensures that the highest quality and yields are achieved even in sensitive processes such as lithography or etching. Learn more.
Medical technology: Precise and uniform heat dissipation is essential - whether in diagnostic devices or sample preparation. Thanks to their flexible and extremely thin design, all-polyimide heaters can be easily integrated into compact, often mobile medical devices without losing functionality. The even temperature distribution also improves measurement accuracy and contributes significantly to patient safety. Learn more.
Chemical industry: Many chemical processes require precise temperature control to optimally control reaction rates and yields. All-polyimide heaters are chemically resistant and therefore an ideal solution for use in aggressive environments. Their rapid and homogeneous heat distribution minimizes the risk of side reactions and contributes to optimizing process reliability and product quality.
Research and development: For experimental setups in laboratories, the flexible adaptability of all-polyimide heaters is a decisive advantage. Whether at extremely low temperatures or in high-temperature tests, particularly rapid and precise temperature changes can be achieved. This enables reproducible and valid results in research projects that are often conducted under variable and demanding conditions.
All-polyimide heaters convince with:
Extremely high temperature resistance: The heaters operate over a wide temperature range from -200°C to +300°C. This feature enables use in extreme environments – from cryogenic applications in space to high-temperature processes. The Precise temperature stability of ±0.1°C minimizes deviations and ensures even heat distribution.
Ultra-thin and lightweight design: With a minimum thickness of 0.127 mm and a flexible structure, all-polyimide heaters are ideal for applications where space and weight are critical. Especially in aerospace, the low profile and light weight can achieve significant savings without compromising performance.
Vacuum and cleanroom compatibility: The special material properties enable reliable operation in vacuum environments – a must for space systems. At the same time, the heaters fulfill the high requirements of clean rooms, making them the optimal solution in semiconductor manufacturing, where any contamination must be avoided.
High power density and fast response: With a maximum power density of up to 18.6 W/cm², all-polyimide heaters offer rapid heat transfer and dynamic temperature control. This is particularly advantageous in precise and time-critical processes where rapid temperature adjustments are required to ensure optimal conditions.
Chemical and mechanical robustness: All-polyimide is known for its resistance to UV radiation, chemicals and oil. These properties ensure long-lasting, trouble-free operation, even in industrial environments where other materials would wear out quickly.
Easy integration and tailor-made solutions: Thanks to their flexible design, all-polyimide heaters can be precisely integrated into a wide variety of systems. Whether multi-zone or multi-layer heating circuits, additional sensors, controllers, or complete heater assemblies – the adaptability of these products facilitates integration into existing systems and significantly reduces installation times.
When selecting all-polyimide heaters we recommend that you carefully consider the following factors to ensure that the solution is optimally tailored to your application:
Process and temperature requirements: First, determine the temperature range and desired temperature stability required for your application. Our all-polyimide heaters They operate at temperatures down to -200°C and generate heat up to +300°C, ensuring the most precise temperature stability with a tolerance of only ±0.1°C . Compare whether these parameters match the thermal requirements of your processes. If even higher temperatures are required, our MICA heaters are available, which can reach temperatures of up to 600°C when clamped to your heat sinks.
Power density and electrical requirements: Specify the operating voltage and the required heat dissipation per unit area. With a maximum power density of 18.6 W/cm² and a maximum operating voltage of up to 480 V, our all-polyimide heaters offer versatile options. Check whether these values harmonize with the performance requirements of your system. If the operating voltage in your application is higher, we recommend taking a look at our silicone heaters, which can operate with a maximum voltage of 750 V, or our polyester heaters, which can operate with voltages up to 1000 V. For higher power densities, we recommend our MICA heaters with up to 23.35 W/cm².
Dimensions and geometric adjustments: Determine the required dimensions and shape of the heating surface to be optimally integrated into your system. Thanks to the ultra-thin design (minimum thickness 0.127 mm, over lead area 1.24 mm) and maximum flexibility (bending radius 0.8 mm), our all-polyimide heaters precisely adapt to the tightest installation space requirements and complex geometries. The maximum surface dimensions for our all-polyimide heaters are 584.2 mm x 584.2 mm. If you need larger dimensions for your applications, explore our Kapton® heaters, silicone heaters, butyl heaters, or polyester heaters.
Environmental conditions: Specify whether special conditions such as cleanroom compatibility, vacuum compatibility, or high resistance to oil, chemicals, and radiation are required. Our all-polyimide heaters are suitable for both cleanroom and vacuum applications and offer robust performance even under demanding environmental conditions such as cryogenic temperatures down to -200°C, chemicals, oil, or strong UV radiation. If you need a heating solution that is waterproof or even submersible, we recommend our butyl heaters.
Additional functional requirements: If your application requires multi-zone or multi-layer heating circuits, consider these aspects in your planning. Our all-polyimide heaters support graduated heating power densities and multi-layer construction, allowing even complex thermal profiles to be realized. Sensors, controllers, connectors, and other components can also be integrated according to your requirements. Learn more about this in our heater assemblies.
