Mica THERMOFOILTM Heaters
In applications where fast warmup and high operating temperatures are necessary, mica heaters deliver flexible wattage capacity capable of providing uniform heating across a variety of shapes and sizes.
WHAT ARE MICA THERMOFOILTM HEATERS
Mica Thermofoil heaters consist of an etched foil element sandwiched between layers of mica. Installed by clamping to heat sinks, mica heaters provide the ultimate temperature and wattage capability for fast warmup.
