Wire Wound Advantages

Using evenly spaced resistance wires laminated between sheets of silicone, Wire Wound Silicone Flexible Heating Elements are ideal for prototyping or problem solving applications. Manufactured to customer specifications these silicone heaters can be made to suit almost any application. High flexibility can be obtained using tough, robust silicone materials that are solving an ever-increasing number of diverse heating applications in numerous industries.

Having supplied Wire Wound Flexible Silicone Heaters since 1985, Thorne & Derrick possess the necessary experience required to design heating elements which are suitable for even the most harsh environments, including both safe non-hazardous and potentially explosive atmospheres in hazardous locations.

SILICONE

Silicone provides precise and consistent surface heating.

Silicone characteristics include : 

• Low thermal conductivity
• Low chemical reactivity – good chemical resistance
• Low smoke and toxicity
• Heat resistant
• Repel water and form watertight seals
• Excellent adhesion to most substrates
• Surface resists microbiological growth – fungus and bacteria resistance
• Resistant to oxygen, ozone, and ultraviolet (UV) light
• Low electrical conductivity and low dielectric constant
• Steam resistance up to 130°C or 2.5 bar

Silicon or Silicone? Silicon is a naturally occurring chemical element, whereas silicone is a synthetic substance.

SILICONE UNLIMITED

T&D have produced standard and customised silicone heaters for most industries including : oil and gas, petrochemical, food processing, tank heating, battery warming, electronics, aerospace and manufacturing. Heat can be applied using versatile silicone heaters to complex shapes, geometries, curves and surfaces without compromising efficiency or reliability.

Silicone based heaters are used to heat, warm and frost protect drums, cylinders, IBCs, hoppers, machinery and general surfaces.
