Rapid Heat-Up and Thermal Cycling
Get 2-3 times faster heat-up and 20% faster thermal cycling with thick film.
The fast, precise, and ultra-efficient heating you need, when you need it.
Datec has thick film technology and patented pastes that enable our engineers to create high-performance, cost-effective heating solutions for a wide range of applications.
Get 2-3 times faster heat-up and 20% faster thermal cycling with thick film.
The fast, precise, and ultra-efficient heating you need, when you need it.
Datec thick film heats consistently and evenly on aluminum, glass, and steel.
Dependable heating with no hot or cold spots.
Thick film heating elements reach the exact temperature you need faster than Kapton® Polyimide heaters.
No adhesives required.
Our heating elements can be printed directly onto most substrates, including aluminum, mica, steel, and glass.
Save space, materials, and cost with thick film.
With high-voltage options up to 5000V of dielectric strength, thick film technology is a versatile heating solution.
Our patented sol-gel thick film technology has 2-10x the watt density of other heating elements, like Kapton® Polyimide.
Datec thick film has a high max temperature of 240°C, surpassing the capabilities of other thick films.
At Datec, we provide OEMs with the high performance, thick-film heating components they need to manufacture and advance their products.
Datec’s new low voltage DC aluminum-base heater, IntegrAL® LV, is a high-performing, thick-film heating element that is ideal for portable or battery-operated devices.
Datec thick film prints directly onto surfaces, resulting in better heat transfer and excellent surface bonding. Kapton® Polyimide requires adhesive to bond, limiting power density.
The Datec team develops application-specific, high-performance heating solutions using a methodical and collaborative approach. It starts with gaining a full understanding of specifications and requirements.
We work quickly and thoroughly to provide assessments, project plans and product samples that allow you to seamlessly integrate our solutions into your products.
Product testing, qualification, and manufacturing are done in our state-of-the-art in-house lab facilities.

Customized Heating Solutions to Maximize Your Product Performance
All Products Manufactured in North America
Responsive, Agile Supply Partner
Datec materials are broadly compatible because of our low processing temperature (under 400°C) that allows our heater circuits to be deposited on materials like aluminum and aluminum alloys with low melting temperatures.
The inherent flexibility of the heater microstructure also allows heaters to be deposited on substrates with high CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion).
Working with Datec and their unique ability to print robust heating circuits and apply proprietary coating technologies provided us with a game-changing solution for two of our clients so far. They are a great, collaborative team to work with
We chose Datec because they had the best technology and were the most responsive partner for our new product development.
Datec is a custom heating element manufacturer, specializing in patented thick film heating solutions for clients in the USA and Canada.
Our team of dedicated research scientists and engineers have led the industry for over 20 years creating heating solutions for industries that include food service, medical, commercial, industrial, and consumer goods.
