Fits surface heating where you need a Watlow wire-wound silicone rubber flexible heater—custom shapes with wire-wound elements for strong flexibility and temperatures into the ~260 °C class.

Key advantages

  • Construction — Silicone rubber insulated wire-wound flexible heater
  • Temperature class — Up to ~260 °C (500 °F) application dependent
  • Watt density — Up to ~12.5 W/cm² (80 W/in²) class depending on design/T
  • Thickness — Wire-wound ~0.055 in (1.4 mm) typical
  • Customization — Shapes, voltages, leads, PSA / vulcanized mount

Typical applications

  • Drum / tank wall heating.
  • Enclosure freeze protection.
  • Process surface warm-up pads.

Selection guide

  • Size / shape
  • Voltage / wattage
  • Max surface temperature
  • Mounting — PSA vs vulcanize vs clamp

Common mistakes

  • Exceeding watt density for the surface temperature.
  • Poor thermal contact creating hot spots.
  • Ordering etched-foil when wire-wound flexibility is required.
