Mica-TF® Product
mica-TF® Thick Film Mica-Based Heater
Our unique thick-film heater element is printed directly onto mica resulting in a thin, lightweight, low-profile, precise and uniform heating solution. The mica-TF® heaters can be attached to a surface to act as an efficient conductive heater or mounted as an effective radiant heater.
Mica solutions are featured in food warming & cooking, and holding devices, enclosure heaters, radiant comfort heaters, LCD warmers and specialty industrial applications.
Our mica-TF® technology is comprised of resistive and conductive thick film paste that we screen-print directly on mica to create an advanced thermal component.
The thick film heating element is printed directly onto mica, producing reliable, uniform, cost-effective heating solutions.
