RS PRO Silicone Heater Mat, 176 W, 200 x 200mm, 240 V ac

Silicone heater mat technology delivers improved 3D Printer quality and speed of process. The heater mans are thin and lightweight and have a low thermal mass. Due to this low mass, the mats have rapid heat up characteristics and fast response to temperature control. The 3D heater mats wide operating temperature range, flexibility and superb electrical properties give it a distinct advantage over other forms of heating.
Within the heated build platform (HBP) of a 3D Printer, printing quality is improved by having the platform accurately and uniformly heated. As extruded plastic cools it shrinks slightly, when this shrinking process occurs unevenly the printed component can result in warped parts.

• Designed to suit common 3D Printer flat bed
• Backing adhesive from Nitto, no loss in performance
• Etched Foil heating elements
• Operating temperature +180°C (intermittent maximum due to adhesive) 150°C continuous use
• Consistent and even temperatures eliminate quality concerns
• All units supplied with instruction leaflet
• PTFE braided thermocouple type J incorporated offering universal controllability

Multi-Purpose Process Heaters

In order to obtain optimum performance from these products, it is advised that temperature sensing and control elements be used with them.

These heaters shall only be used where adequate electrical, thermal and mechanical barriers are provided to prevent access to hazardous parts without the use of a tool.
