PTFE (Teflon®) Flexible Heaters

Minco’s PTFE flexible heaters feature etched-foil elements sandwiched between rugged layers of FDA-approved PTFE (Teflon)*. These heaters stand up to environments that would destroy conventional metal-clad heating elements. Use them in acid baths, medical equipment, commercial appliances or anywhere else you need the benefits of clean, non-stick, chemically-inert PTFE.

Application notes

• Chemicals: Heaters are suitable for most acids, bases, etchants, solvents, and cleaning solutions—almost all industrial chemicals except fluorine and strong fluorinating agents.
• Fluid immersion: Install vertically so gases cannot collect beneath the heater or Minco can design the pattern to allow holes for air and fluid passage.
• Mounting to surfaces: Heaters can be clamped in place. Factory bonding is optional.
• Temperature sensors: Minco can furnish PTFE-clad RTDs or thermocouples in probe-style or flat, flexible configurations.
• Contact Minco for details or submit a RFQ.
