Silicone Rubber & Kapton Sheath
Silicone Rubber Heaters

Kapton Heaters
Kapton Heaters are especially thin and light weight, yet resistant to tearing and cuts. Kapton is an organic polymer that has high dielectric capabilities and tensile strength. Temperatures from -328 to 390°F (-200 to 200°C) are possible while providing a high resistance to many solvents, oils, radiation and fungus. Because of very low outgassing properties, Kapton heaters are suitable for use in high vacuum applications. Standard bonding methods can be applied. Being transparent adds to Kapton’s versatility.
Other sheath materials such as Neoprene, Mica and Mylar are available. Consult Ogden.
