Your benefits


Thick-film heating elements have a lot of advantages, which can be useful in different applications. Discover the potential of your new heating solution!

Heat up speed

Due to the printed thick-film layers and the low thermal mass the heating elements heat up very quickly. Thus, the desired temperature can be reached in a short time with a heating rate of up to 50 K/s.

Moisture resistance

The result of the screen printing process is a gas-tight layer with a surface similar to glass. Accordingly, the heaters are moisture-resistant and ready for use at any time!

Choice of substrate

The thick-film heating element can be applied to certain sorts of steel or ceramic. Depending on the application one of both materials is chosen.

Adjustability

A thick-film heating element is designed according to your specifications. Each heating element is as unique as the intended application.

High temperature

Do you need a thick-film heating element in a hot environment? No problem for them. They work flawlessly at a temperature up to 600 °C.

High dielectric strength

It is possible to use the heating elements with every voltage. They exhibit a dielectric strength of up to 1.5 kV.

Technology - process and production conditions


The thick-film components are carefully produced by using the screen printing process in our ISO-class 7 cleanroom.

Screen printing

Layers with a thickness of 20 µm

Screen printing

A big advantage of the screen printing process is the flexibility regarding the layout design.

Cleanroom

according to ISO-class 7

Cleanroom

It is necessary to produce the components in a cleanroom, because the applied layers exhibit only a thickness of a few µm.

Composition

of the thick-film components

Composition

Due to a certain composition of the layers a heating element is created, which is resistent to 600 °C.
