Thick Film Heating for the Automotive & Electric Vehicles Industry

Maximize Battery Life with Datec Thick Film

Datec thick film heating elements are versatile and broadly compatible with most substrates. Our low processing temperature (under 400°C) allows our heating circuits to be deposited on materials like aluminum and other aluminum alloys with low melting temperatures.

Our patented thick film technology enables our engineers to create heating solutions for a wide range of applications within the automotive industry.

Our IntegrAL® Technology is Driving Innovation for EVs.

Trusted for Over 20 Years of Engineering Excellence

With over two decades of industry-leading R&D, the Datec team brings a wealth of hands-on expertise to EV suppliers and OEM partners. Through a collaborative approach, we ensure that our custom thick film heating solutions align seamlessly with each EV product.

Based in North America, we eliminate the risk of overseas shipping delays while supporting every stage of the scaling process from rapid prototyping to large-scale production. All the while, our in-house thermal modelling, simulation, and testing abilities ensure precision without compromise.

With nine heating technology patents and counting, our EV partners gain an immeasurable competitive advantage that only Datec can provide.

Outperforming Traditional EV Heating Solutions

As electric vehicles gain market share from their internal combustion counterparts, innovation for EV heat exchanging, battery heating & cooling, cabin heating, and beyond is on the rise.

Our aluminum-based EV heating system IntegrAL® prints directly onto aluminum substrates. This technology supports the full spectrum of EV heating applications, achieving fast and precise heating with a compact profile. The space efficiency of our EV thick film heaters provides higher performance with an ultra-lightweight composition.

Not Familiar with Thick Film? Here’s What You’re Missing out On:

Rapid Heat-Up & Thermal Cycling

Get the fast, precise, and ultra-efficient heating you need, when you need it.

Direct Bonding to Surface Saves Space

Our heating elements can be printed directly onto most substrates, saving space, materials, and cost.

Temperature Precision

Thick film heating elements reach the exact temperature you need quickly, consistently and evenly with no hot or cold spots.

Low Processing temperature

With a max processing temperature of 400°C, our heating circuits can be deposited on materials with low melting temperatures, such as aluminum.

Watt Density

Our patented sol-gel thick film technology has 2-10x the watt density of other heating elements, like Kapton.

High Voltage Applications

With high-voltage options up to 800 volts, thick film technology is a versatile heating solution.
