Printed foil elements

Economical and precisely manufactured

DESCRIPTION

Printed foil elements, offer many advantages, besides the material being flexible. For instance, the option of multiple circuits or multiple voltages in the same element, or the ease of positioning sensors. They have superior heat transfer and exceptionally uniform heat output, which results in a faster warm-up cycle and longer life.
We can offer foil elements within a high range of technical specifications, and insulation materials such as: Polyimide, Polyester, PEN, PET, PVC, Fibre reinforced therm plastic, etc. One side of the foil element can be furnished with an adhesive substance.
Foil elements are suitable for different applications in a wide range of areas, including communications, vehicles, monitoring, medicine, individual comfort heat, domestic heating, etc.
