Applications

Features

Silicone based heaters are a good match for physical strength and pliability to fit contours. Adhesive backing is available as a option for mounting if desired.

Highly customizable, silicone rubber heating film forms to any shape, even 3D, and integrates cutouts for seamless installation.

Highly adaptable silicone electric heating sheets boast a wide range of thicknesses (as thin as 0.9mm!), ensuring optimal thermal efficiency for fast and accurate heating control.

Silicone's exceptional weather and aging resistance make it the ideal choice for electric heating film's surface insulation. This durable material shields against cracking, strengthens the film mechanically, and significantly extends its lifespan.

By incorporating a precisely designed metal heating circuit, silicone rubber heating elements achieve a significant boost in surface power density. This translates to more uniform heating, extended lifespan, and exceptional control over the heating process.

Built to withstand harsh environments, silicone electric heating film offers excellent chemical corrosion resistance, making it ideal for humid and corrosive gas settings. Thanks to its nickel-chromium alloy heating wire and high-temperature silicone rubber insulation, it delivers rapid, uniform heating with high thermal efficiency. Additionally, its high strength, user-friendliness, and extended lifespan (up to 10 years) make it a reliable and long-lasting heating solution.

Mounted thermal switch options either directly or inline with the leads, custom plugs, aluminum plates, Velcro or spring style fasteners.

Main Product Features for 3M Adhesive Transfer Tape 468MP

  • Up to 400°F short-term heat resistance
  • Excellent solvent resistance
  • Excellent shear strength to resist slippage and edge lifting
  • Environmental Resistance

    Humidity Resistance

    High humidity has a minimal effect on adhesive performance. Bond strength shows no significant reduction after exposure for 7 days at 90°F (32°C) and 90% relative humidity.

    UV Resistance

    When properly applied, parts are not adversely affected by outdoor exposure.

    Water Resistance

    Immersion in water has no appreciable effect on the bond strength. After 100 hours at room temperature, the high bond strength is maintained.

    Chemical Resistance

    When properly applied, nameplate and decorative trim parts will hold securely after exposure to numerous chemicals including oil, mild acids and alkalis.

    Temperature Cycling Resistance

    High bond strength is maintained after cycling four times through:
    4 hours at 158°F (70°C)
    4 hours at -20°F (-29°C)
    4 hours at 73°F (22°C)

    Temperature/Heat Resistance

    3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP is usable for short periods (minutes, hours) at temperatures up to 400°F (204°C) and for intermittent longer periods (days, weeks) up to 300°F (149°C).

    Lower Temperature Service Limit

    The lowest service temperature is -40°F (-40°C).

    Bond Build-up

    The bond strength of 3M™ High Performance Acrylic Adhesive 200MP increases as a function of time and temperature.

    Enhanced thermal conductivity

    Aluminum allows for more even heat distribution across the heater's surface. This can be crucial for applications requiring consistent temperature profiles.

    Increased rigidity

    Aluminum plates provide structural support to the silicone heater, improving its durability and resistance to deformation under pressure.

    Heat sink/Grounding

    The aluminum plate can act as a heat sink, helping to dissipate heat away from the heater.

    Ease of installation and removal

    Velcro fasteners allow for quick and simple attachment and detachment of the heater.

    Reusability

    The heater can be reused multiple times without compromising the mounting system.

    Flexibility

    Velcro can accommodate various shapes and sizes of heaters and surfaces, offering versatility in application and no damage.
