TOMOEGAWA's flexible planar heater is utilizing stainless fiber sheet, which is our unique technologies.
The excellent flexibility of stainless-steel fiber conforms closely to the heated surface and heats efficiently, thereby contributing to energy savings.
It is also UL499 certified. (Registration number: E541733)

Feature 1Efficient Heat Transfer to Targeted Areas

TOMOEGAWA's flexible flat heater can follow the surface of the object to be heated due to its excellent flexibility of stainless steel fiber sheets.
With this characteristic, heat can be efficiently applied, so depending on the conditions, an energy saving effect of about 50% * can be expected compared to the nichrome wire heater.
* Confirmed by in-house measurement.

Feature 2Uniform Heating across the Surface

Utilizing thin and flat stainless steel fiber sheets, these heaters provide even heating across all surfaces in uniform manner, as shown in our thermographic images. And also the interconnected fibers minimize the risk of breakage and ensure consistent heat distribution.

Uneven heating which often occurs in Nichrome wire heaters due to their surface irregularities, even when a heat diffusion layer (such as aluminum foil) is used as shown in our thermographic images.

Feature 3Reduced Heating and Cooling Times

The stainless fiber sheet, which is a heating element, is features by its low heat capacity compared to stainless steel foil.
Therefore, compared to planar heater made of stainless steel foil, it is possible to raise and lower temperatures in a short time*.
*Confirmed by in-house measurement.

Feature 4Functional Benefits of Porosity

With paper-making techniques, TOMOEGAWA’s stainless steel fiber sheets exhibit a paper-like porosity. This characteristic allows for innovative uses such as allowing airflow through the heater, as shown in the usage image below.
