Comments<br />

*Resistance density varies with the size of the heater (higher density possible with smaller heaters).<br />

Similar to Polyimide/FEP except lower cost,<br />

higher resistance densities, and lower temperature<br />

range. WA is preferred over FEP for most<br />

custom designs under 150°C.<br />

Similar to Polyimide/WA except UL recognized<br />

(UL94V-0).<br />

Higher temperatures and watt densities<br />

than industry standard flexible Polyimide<br />

construction.<br />

Fully sealed construction suitable for immersion<br />

in acids, bases, and other corrosive chemicals.<br />

Low cost material for economic fabrication of<br />

large heaters.<br />
