Detailed Product Description
DuPont™ Kapton® is a polyimide polymer and a product of DuPont™.
This material, in film form, offers many design features such as excellent dielectric
strength in very thin cross sections (3,000 volts per mil). BEEHE offers
etched foil heaters insulated in DuPont™ Kapton® with two different bonding
systems, FEP and acrylic bonds. The FEP has a temperature capability of up
to 500°F and the acrylic is capable of temperatures of 250°F. DuPont™
Kapton® heaters offer many design opportunities and can be combined
in assemblies along with sensors, wiring harnesses and connectors to provide our
customers with assemblies ready to install in their equipment.
DuPont™ Kapton® heaters can be installed with pressure sensitive adhesive
(PSA). They can also be FEP or acrylic bonded directly to heat sinks at the
factory. This proprietary process installation offers excellent bonding and good
heat transfer capability.
