Polyimide Film insulated (also known as Kapton ) flexible heaters are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and wattages. Wattage ratings are 2.5, 5, or 10W/in2 at 115 or 28 V. Polyimide Film offers a high degree of resistance to chemicals. Flexible nature can fit into Intrinsic voids & can be applied very Easily

Operating temperature without PSA is -57°C to 150°C, and with PSA, these heaters operate at temperatures between -40°C and 149°C.

Typical construction consists of an etched foil element of 0.0005" or 0.0001" thickness which is encapsulated between two layers of 0.002" Polyimide Film and 0.001" FEP adhesive.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great adhesive and quick heatup! I bought this for a project at our company, and it does exactly what it was intended for. The adhesive sticks to what is desired very easily, and it does not want to peel off, even with lots of heat cycling. The heaters also seem to get up to temp fairly quickly. So these heaters are excellent if you want good heating times!

could you please suggest a driver which needs to drive this heater, Requesting you to helps us on this.

Asked by: pooja
Thank you for your inquiry. You can use either AC/DC 115V for KHA or 28V for the KHLV to drive these heaters.

Can I hook this product to 2--- 12V car batteries for 24V? Is there a thermostat that I could use to control the temperature with this setup?

Asked by: JKitt
You can hook batteries in series to get the Voltages to add up to 24 VDC and use the KHLVA series Heaters. The explanation of power reduction is in Jane's answer above from a year ago. There are Thermal switches that can be used to switch power on and off so visit our website to review the TSW and CCD101 products.

Can the KHLVA heaters be used with 24 Vdc?

Asked by: Off Site Eric
Yes this Heater can be used @ 24 Vdc but power will be proportionate from 28 V. Getting Power value to calculate resistance R=V^2/P (V=28 V, P specified in spec sheet) not calculating Power at 24 V. New power at 24 volt P’= V’^2/R ( where V’=24 volt, R is resistance value derived from the previous calculation). Please contact our Tech Support if you need any further assistance. Thank you.

Can this heater be safely immersed in water while operating?

Asked by: rtmcg
Thank you for your inquiry. This heater is designed for dry environments only and cannot be submersed or exposed to water.

Your label for these strips is that they are Polyimide Insulated Flexible Heaters. In what way are they insulated? Is the heater on one side, the adhesive on the other and an insulating layer between them? If so, what is the R value of the insulation?

Asked by: JimP
Hi JimP Thank you for the inquiry. Please email this request to TEMP@OMEGA.COM. Best regards OMEGA

I see that you calculate the proportional power from 28 to 24 VDC but the datasheet specifies 28 VAC. Can these be used with DC?

Asked by: prisd
Thank you for your question. Yes, this can be used with DC voltage as well. Please contact us anytime if you have any further questions.

Can these heaters be used in a vacuum chamber? And what kind of controller is compatible with it? Looking for an appropriate heating element for a diy freeze dryer. 

Asked by: HeatHunter
The Silicon patch at the wire exit is not considered Vacuum compatible as it may outgas. The Controller selection should be reviewed by contacting the Temperature Engineering group at temp@omega.com.
Answered by: Applications Engineer AB
Date published: 2022-04-08

What is the shelf life of the adhesive backed heaters? I assume this would be driven by the performance of the release liners, not the adhesive itself.

Asked by: Bill T
Please send your question directly to heaters@omega.com so it can be researched.

Can you provide any info on the silicone used for the strain relief? I am trying to determine if these are vacuum (ASTM E595) compliant.

Asked by: JNewman
Thank you for connecting with Omega, Our Polyimide flexible heaters are not rated for vacuum applications. Unfortunately they are not compliant with ASTM E595.

I’m new at this but would connected does this use and besides for a board what would I need to control it

Asked by: Alexb
It would be suggested to speak to a Heater Engineer to size up your Heater for your application and get advice on the additional sensor and Controller as well. Call the main number and select Temperature from the prompts or send an email to heaters@omega.com

Can these strips be reused? - looking at transferring the strip our applications has finished the heating cycle

Asked by: PPatel
The Pressure Sensitive adhesive is meant to be a permanent attachment and if you wish to remove and use these heaters again you should look at the non PSA version and attaching by mechanical means.
