INDUSTRY :Â Pipe Curing / Heating
SILICONE HEATER TYPE
Silicone mat – custom made preformed heating solution based on pipe diameters.
SILICONE HEATERs APPLICATION
Surface heating mats applied to the face of pipework and joints of pipe systems to provide even surface heating. Application requires a preformed silicone heater mat to guarantee good surface contact, there are multiple application requirements including anti-frost protection on valves and taps. Heating for the curing of joins in implementing pipe systems and simply keeping solutions at temperature to allow smooth movement or transportation.
BENEFITS OF SILICONE
Custom design and manufacture capabilities enabled these silicone heating solutions to deliver constant heat control to an industry that can be significantly affected by fluctuating cold temperatures below 10°C. The fitting of a preformed heater is both simpler on installation and guarantees a more efficient and constant heat source when sized to individual pipe sizes. Although not available with an adhesive backing, the permanent preformed design delivers a high quality performance.

A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity without combustion. The optimal energy carrier for fuel cells is hydrogen (which can be extracted from methanol, natural gas, water or petroleum products). When hydrogen is combined with oxygen it produces electrical energy. Hydrogen gas is delivered to a negatively charged anode on one side of the cell while oxygen is channeled to a positively charged cathode on the other side.
INDUSTRY : Fuel Cell Manufacturing
SILICONE HEATER TYPE
Silicone pad – custom made circular/round silicone pad heaters.
SILICONE HEATERs APPLICATION
Surface heating pads to stainless steel bubblers and top plates for fuel cell application. Client required a control temperature of 130 degrees Celsius with a maximum temperature of 200 degrees Celsius. Due to the small surface area this required a heating solution with a high watts density.
BENEFITS OF SILICONE
Silicone material is resistant to moisture and does not suffer ingress associated with mineral insulated heating elements – their thin lightweight construction enabled smooth integration into the fuel cell manufacturing process.
Self adhesive silicone heater pads provide a smooth profile and compact surface heating with minimum space displacement. Heating mats can be made to almost any size including small intricate shapes making it an ideal solution for this particular application – this silicone heating technology also gives the client the option of 12V, 24V, 48V, 110V or 240V power supply.

What is a Fuel Cell?
A fuel cell is an electrochemical device that produces electricity and heat from a fuel (often hydrogen) and oxygen (usually from the air). Unlike a conventional engine, it does this without burning the fuel and is both cleaner and more efficient.
