Many companies look for a Mica ceramic heater and heating elements because they are a great solution for applications that require higher than normal watt densities and a fast temperature recovery. A Mica heater is built to evenly distribute the heat effectively with uniform watt densities. It is important to work with a manufacturer with experience and an excellent reputation.
Mica Heaters
The Mica ceramic heater is specifically built and manufactured with a Mica sheet, which acts as insulation. The Mica sheet is made of Mica mineral that is infused with a high-temperature heat-resisting polymer. A thin high-temperature insulator can form and there is an etched foil element between the layers. As a result, it can operate at high temperatures with a quick response.
These heaters can be shaped into different geometric builds and they can be used in intricate installations. It is ideal for metal strip heaters, surfaces, and hot plates where direct contact isn’t an issue.
When to Use a Mica Heater
There are many times when a high-quality Mica ceramic heater is a good solution. They are used when a large temperature range from -150 C to 700 C is needed. They are also a great choice for fast temperature transfer, high watt density, curbed heating spaces, or when they need to be clamped or mounted.
They offer even heat distribution. They heat up rapidly, which is one of the reasons why they are so popular. This type of heater is an excellent choice for hot plates, medical, manufacturing, and semiconductor applications, as well as other applications where they need rapid response and quick cooldown.
