• Processes with heat range requirements from 300-800°F
• Barrels of plastic injection molding and extrusion machines
• Maintain or add additional heat to cylindrical pipes, dies or molds
• Packaging machinery
• Chemical or food processing
• Diameters from ¾"

Applications:

• Processes with heat ranges requirements up to 1200°F at 50 watts/in²
• High dielectric strength, superior to other insulation at over 300 volts
• Unaffected by expansion of cylinder being heated
• Easy to install – open up and wrap around cylinder
• Wire processing – both radiant heat and conduction
• Plastic injection molding and extrusion barrels and dies
• Metal injection molding

Applications:

• Processes with heat range requirements up to 1400°F and watt densities of 100 watts/in²
• Higher heat transfer rates than mica or ceramic heaters
• Can be completely sealed to prevent contamination in severe environments
• Ideal for injection molding and extrusion of engineering grade resins
• Offer rapid heat-up, reduced failures and may allow for reducing the physical size or number of heaters needed for the application

• Small diameter cylinders with high heat requirements
• Narrow areas where holes are required in the band
• Areas exposed to contamination
• Hot runner mold systems
• Blown film dies and front end heat in extrusion processes
• May be placed in extruded aluminum shoe to provide uniform temperature throughout the band and maximize even heat distribution
