Minco’s heaters have proven successful in a wide range of industries and critical applications.  From medical imaging to de-icing to LCD screens in sub-zero climates, our flexible heaters have performed with total reliability.

Minco’s flexible heaters offer precise, rapid, and reliable heat transfer to deliver the highest performance and greatest efficiency for your thermal solution.  Our heaters are easily installed wherever space is tight, even where there’s no room for supporting framework.  A flex heater from Minco provides excellent thermal contact in the area where you need it most.

  • Mica heaters offer ultimate temperature and wattage capability for fast warm-up. Benefits of Mica Heaters:
    • Broad temperature range of -150º to 600°C (-238° to 1112°F) provides faster processing and cycle times
    • High watt density capability provides faster processing times than conventional mica strip heaters
    • Custom profiled heat density and mechanical clamping offers uniform heat sink temperature
    • UL certification is available
  • All-Polyimide Heaters are a high performance alternative to Minco’s standard polyimide flexible heaters. They enable higher temperatures and watt densities than any other flexible film heater. Benefits of All-Polyimide Heaters:
    • Maximum operating temperature of 260°C
    • Provide heat where it’s needed to reduce operating costs
    • Fast and efficient thermal transfer
    • Uniform thermal performance by custom profiling
    • Customized options for turnkey thermal solutions
  • Polyimide thermofoil heaters are thin, lightweight, rugged and flexible heaters that provide highly accurate and reliable performance. They are ideal for applications with space and weight limitations or where a heater may be exposed to vacuum, oil or chemicals. Benefits of Polyimide Thermofoil Heaters:
    • Provide heat where it’s needed to reduce operating costs
    • Fast and efficient thermal transfer
    • Uniform thermal performance by custom profiling
    • Customized options for turnkey thermal solutions
  • Silicone rubber heaters are suited for large-size, industrial and ruggedized applications. They are constructed of rugged, flexible elastomer material with excellent temperature properties. Benefits of Silicone Rubber Heaters:
    • High reliability in a wide range of applications.
    • Optional custom profiled heat density for uniform heat sink temperature
    • Factory vulcanization and high temperature capability allows higher wattage levels
  • Minco’s SmartHeat SLT (Self-Limiting Technology) heaters provide an efficient and effective alternative to traditional temperature management in Aerospace, Defense, and Medical applications. These unique devices provide consistent thermal outcomes and self-tuning in dynamic environments. Thin, flexible, and lightweight, SmartHeat SLT heaters deliver optimal performance and controller-free operation. Our SmartHeat SLT heaters utilize a patented polymer inner-lay material to pinpoint precisely when and where heat is needed to maintain uniform heatsink temperature. The resistance of the polymer increases exponentially at a prescribed temperature control point, which eliminates the need for additional regulating electronics. This results in a simplified system design and lowers manufacturing and operational costs. Advanced materials and engineering eliminate the risk of overheating, which can damage electro-optical components, handheld electronic displays and fluid warming devices. Features & Benefits
    • No risk of overheating due to delamination or environmental changes
    • Automated, elevated temperature management and control with consistent thermal outcomes
    • Patented materials ensure peak performance in a thin implicit control simplifies device design and reduces product launch cycle
    • Environment temperature range: -45°C (-49°F) to 100°C (212°F)
    • Operational set point range: 10°C (50°F) to 70°C (158°F)
  • Thermal-clear transparent heaters are accurate, reliable heat for applications requiring a transparent heater material. Benefits of Thermal-Clear Transparent Heaters:
    • Custom heater element routing and profiling optimizes the LCD visual clarity
    • Tight resistance tolerance provides constant and repeatable wattage output for longer battery life
    • Low mass and high watt density offers faster warm up time needed for immediate LCD response
    • Rugged materials prevent damage during installation and handling
