Advantages
IHP silicone heaters are suitable for applications where precise heating is required.
Being thin and lightweight, silicone heater mats have a low thermal mass and hence
have rapid heat up characteristics with fast response to temperature control.
Silicone’s wide temperature range tolerance of –60 °C to +230 °C and superb
electrical properties give it a distinct advantage over other forms of heating.
Applications
We supply silicone heaters for a multitude of applications including industrial
catering, battery warming, environmental control or electronics particularly telecommunications, composite repair of aircraft, laboratory equipment, satellite dish
snow melting, anti-condensation and GRP pipe curing systems. The uses for silicone
heater mats are infinite as they can suit any application requiring surface heating up
to +230 °C. Their suitability for arduous conditions has been proven in applications
from polar expedition to space exploration.
Installation and Fixing
Our self-adhesive option is a quick and simple fixing
method which provides superb bonding results to
many surfaces including low energy materials. Where
removal of the heater is necessary alternative fixings
are available such as hooks and straps as well as
Velcro and magnetic backed options. Most mechanical
fixing methods can be accommodated.

Wire Wound
Using evenly spaced resistance wires laminated
between sheets of silicone, wire wound mats are ideal
for prototyping or problem solving applications. Manufactured to customer specifications they can be made
in a limitless range of shapes and sizes. High flexibility
can be obtained using tough, robust materials which
are finding ever increasing applications in industries.

Thermal Control
An extensive range of thermal control devices can be
incorporated onto the heaters; these include thermocouples, platinum sensors and limit switches. Pockets and
housings can also be applied enabling the client to install
their own control devices such as PT100’s and capillary
thermostats.
Analogue Control
The electronic analogue thermostat is a boxed unit that
connects to the supply cable of the heater mat. The heater
mat is supplied with a PT100 sensor and a 4 pole plug
which connects to a corresponding socket in the thermostat
completing the connections of the sensor and electrical
supply. We can adapt the standard unit to allow a sensor to
be inserted into the process being heated.

Digital Control
The electronic digital thermostat is a fully programmable unit
housed in an enclosure along with a residual current device.
Complete with a stainless steel mounting bracket,
connection to the heater is via a 4 pole plug and socket
arrangement. The thermostat input is a PTC1000 sensor
embedded on the heater mat.

Capillary
The capillary thermostat is supplied as a separate item to be built in to the final
assembly along with the heater mat. The sensing bulb can be placed in the process
or in a sensor pocket on the heater mat surface. With single pole switching, the body
of the thermostat can be mounted up to 1 meter away from the sensor location.
