Neltec® provides flexible electrical heating elements and a complete thermal management solution for surface heating substrates. By combining etched foil heaters and thermal protection systems with heatsink design, Neltec® produces fully assembled and functionally tested heater units. Alternatively, a simple flexible heater mat can be supplied in any shape and almost any size, voltage and wattage with lead assemblies and connectors.

These innovative and flexible Neltec® etched foil heaters incorporate:

High-precision etched metal foil technology which allows electrical resistance control beyond the industry standards
Thermostat, thermal fuse or thermistor control and protection
Polyimide heaters, available in low moisture retention polyimide dielectric
Kapton heaters, use Kapton® dielectric supplied by DuPont
Polyester heaters, available in optical grade polyester dielectric
Silicone rubber heaters, available in a variety of silicone rubber dielectric constructions including wearpad applications
Environmentally secure multi-layer construction with operating temperature range from -195 to +230 °C
Simple or complex shapes in a wide range of sizes engineered to bond direct to any surface or to custom heatsink assemblies
Prototype and production quantities with rapid prototyping service available within 48 hours
Special applications available in other dielectric materials (e.g. nomex) and wire wound heaters
