Cheri Heater Technology Co., Ltd is a top silicone rubber heater manufacturer offering rugged construction and flexibility products. Our silicone heaters are chemical-resistant and can be used in various industrial environments. We offer wire-wound and etched foil flexible silicone heaters. The wire-wound silicone rubber heaters have resistance wire laminated to the silicone rubber. This ensures uniform heat distribution and physical strength. To ensure quick heat transfer, the etched foil silicone heaters have chemically etched circuits laminated between thin silicone sheets.
A silicone rubber heater is made by sealing the heater wire in silicone rubber. This ensures high resistance to moisture, mechanical damage, or wear and tear on the surface. Because of their bonding ability, silicone rubber heaters are a cost-effective option.
