Thick Film Heater
Datec Thick Film Heating Technology
Our clients trust our thick film heating elements printed directly onto mica, aluminum, or stainless steel for more uniform heated surfaces with better heat transfer and reliability.Â
The ideal alternative to Polyimide, silicone, foil, or traditional thick film heaters.
Benefits of Thick Film Heaters
Rapid Heat-Up and Thermal Cycling
Fast, precise, efficient heat where & when you need it.
Reliable
Dependable heating for the long-term.
Precise, Uniform Temperature
Consistent, even heat on aluminum, mica, stainless steel & other substrates.
Low Profile Saves Space
Heating elements printed on substrates saving space, materials and cost.
Energy Consumption
Low thermal mass saves energy but does not compromise performance.
High Watt
Density
Up to 2 to 10 times the watt density of heating elements, like silicone rubber.
Low & High Voltage
Compact and portable, with low-voltage options as low as 3.7 volts and high-voltage capability up to 800 volts.
Dual Voltage Applications
Dual voltage capable with 120v/220v in one heater.
Datec Thick Film Elements Can Be Printed Directly on Substrates
Datec thick film heating elements are versatile and compatible with most substrates (surfaces). With low processing temperatures of under 400°C the heater circuits can be deposited on materials like aluminum and other alloys with low melting temperatures.
The microstructure of our heating elements is flexible and can be deposited on substrates with high Coefficients of Thermal Expansion.
How It Works: our manufacturing process
We manufacture our heating elements and custom pastes in-house. Our ability to customize our pastes enables us to provide our customers with a competitive advantage over their competition.
Our North American facility has two thick film production lines, industry-leading research, testing, and development capabilities. We can manufacture a small number of prototypes and large batches of 100,000 parts all in-house in North America eliminating the need for overseas production and shipping.

Our clients in the USA and Canada benefit from our thick film heating elements printed directly onto mica, aluminum, or glass resulting in a more uniform heated surface with better heat transfer and reliability.
