The Mica heaters are an etched foil element, sandwiched between layers of mica. Mica material creates a fairly rigid heater, but is also able to handle extreme temperatures. For use at lower temperatures (below 100°C), it works perfect as a stand-alone heater. However, higher temperatures require proper support and even pressure to provide good heat transfer. For example, it can be uniformly clamped between two metal plates.

 Technical data | Custom made

Micanite elements are typically used for contact heating of tools and for indirect heating of liquids in vessels. Micanite is an excellent insulation material based on mica. The micanite sheets can be cut, punched or shaped to fit in tools, etc. Micanite elements enclosed in flat or round metal sheeting are called band heaters.
