Custom Flexible Heaters

Flexible Heater Key Design Features

Durex Industries’ electric flexible heaters offer a lightweight, high-efficiency alternative to traditional rigid metallic heaters—delivering fast, uniform heat across virtually any surface. Their adaptability makes them ideal for a wide range of demanding environments.

These heaters are engineered to perform in applications that require:

• Conformance to complex shapes and surfaces
• Custom heat profiles with precise temperature control
• Compact, high-power thermal solutions
• Reliable performance in space and vacuum environments
• Lightweight heating components for weight-sensitive designs 

Whether you're working in aerospace, medical, electronics, or other OEM markets, Durex flexible heaters deliver proven performance where precision and reliability matter most.

Advantages of Flexible Heating Elements

Durex Industries’ flexible heaters are engineered with ultra-thin layers of silicone rubber or polyimide that encapsulate low-profile wire-wound or etched foil circuits. This design enables rapid and efficient heat transfer directly to the target surface.

Key advantages of our flexible heating solutions include:

• Easy surface adhesion via vulcanization or pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA)
• Ultra-thin profiles for fast, uniform heat distribution
• Moisture resistance for enhanced durability
• Mold and bacteria resistance with polyimide materials
• Custom wattage distribution and multi-zone heating capabilities
• Mechanical fastening (straps, springs, or custom closures) 

These features make Durex flexible heaters ideal for precision thermal management in demanding environments across medical, aerospace, electronics, and other OEM applications.
