 Thick Film on Quartz Offers High Thermal Density and Corrosion Resistance
Thick Film FAQs
Watlow's new thick film heaters on quartz glass are ideal for use in many applications where visibility and corrosion resistance are required. This high performance heater uses thick film technology to provide maximum temperature response, and temperature uniformity in a compact package. Thick film on quartz substrates provide a low-profile heater that can be cut or blow molded to fit a variety of shapes and sizes. Since quartz is an efficient radiator of heat, thick film on quartz can be utilized as effective radiant heaters.
Thick film heaters can be applied in areas where space is at a premium or where conventional heaters cannot be used because the voltage and wattage combination precludes using other types of resistive heaters. Due to the unique nature of a thick film circuit, these heaters can be designed to vary heat output across the entire surface. This feature will correct virtually any temperature uniformity problem that a current design is generating while still allowing the ability to view the process.
Watlow's thick film heaters are manufactured to meet the requirements of NEC codes with UL® and CSA. Certifications are pending.
