A revolutionary film heater that allows flexibility in shape and specifications due to its printing method, and can also be expected to provide cost advantages by using inexpensive AL/PET materials.
Aluminum foil film heaters are surface-type heaters that utilize the heat generated by the electrical resistance of aluminum. The heater circuit is formed by etching the aluminum foil. Since the etching resist is printed, the shape can be customized, and the resistance value of the heater can be designed, allowing us to meet a wide range of customer needs. Furthermore, because we use inexpensive aluminum foil and PET composite film (AL/PET), there is a well-established cost advantage compared to other surface heaters that use polyimide film, stainless foil, or copper foil. This product is also known as aluminum etching heaters, aluminum heaters, aluminum foil heaters, or aluminum etching film.

【Composition of Aluminum Foil Film Heater】 - Base material: PET film - Heater section: Circuit formed by etching aluminum foil (thickness 10μm, 30μm, etc.) - Insulation layer: PET cover layer (laminate), PET pouch film (laminate), overcoat agent (printing), etc. - Terminal section: Installation of lug terminals, etc. *The above is an example. Specifications can be customized based on customer requirements and intended use, so the material composition may vary.
-
The aluminum foil film heater, which is an etching heater, has excellent heat distribution and can generate heat like a surface heater by varying the strength in specific areas or by narrowing the pitch of the lines.
-
Aluminum foil film heaters are thin, with a thickness of about 0.1 to 0.5 mm, and have a smooth surface, making them highly flexible. They can be attached to curved surfaces such as cylindrical shapes.
-
Film heaters are thin and have a small heat capacity, allowing for very rapid startup and quick temperature rise to the desired temperature. (The figure shows reference data for our standard products.)
-
We can create aluminum foil circuits in custom shapes to suit your needs through etching. We can also handle resistance value design in-house.
-
It can be easily attached with double-sided tape or similar materials, and since it allows for localized heating of only the necessary parts, it leads to energy savings compared to heating the entire device. Additionally, the aluminum foil film heater is thin and lightweight, contributing to the reduction of the device's weight.
