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.

With Datec’s heating elements printed directly on to mica, the mica-TF® provides:

UNIFORM INTEGRATED HEAT

The resistor circuit covers a complete area resulting in even heating.

COST SAVINGS

With reduced parts count and ease of installation, mica-TF® is a cost-effective heating solution.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

Testing along with thousands of heaters installed proves mica-TF® has excellent thermal performance and reliability.

TEMPERATURE CONTROL

The ability to maintain precise and constant temperatures.

  • Food Warming Devices

  • Enclosure Heaters

  • LCD Warmers

  • Radiant Comfort Heaters

  • Industrial Applications

The key technology in the mica-TF® heater is thick-film layers, which incorporate Datec’s patented sol-gel technology.
