Thick Film Technology

Flexibility in Design - BCE Thick Film Technology

Need a high performance electric heater in a low mass, low profile package? Need to put high watt density in a small space? Or maybe you need to distribute wattage disproportionately to an irregularly shaped part? Chances are BCE can develop the perfect heater for your needs.

BCE ceramic thick film heaters are easily customized into a variety of shapes and sizes, and provide excellent heat transfer. Long life is assured by precise thermal matching between ceramics and resistor traces.

Excellent Choice for Many Industries

The ceramic substrates provide excellent hardness, wear resistance, and compression strength. The physical properties of the ceramic also provide optimal thermal conductivity and excellent uniformity. Thick film ceramic heaters are perfect for application in analytical equipment, life science equipment, mass spectroscopy, medical devices, semiconductor processing, packaging machines, and in applications ultra pure and chemically aggressive media.

Key Benefits
