Thin Silicone Rubber Heaters

Watlow has developed an ultra-thin, flexible, light and yet rugged and resistant to the environment range of silicone rubber heaters which offers many advantages for applications in a laboratory and pharmaceutical research environment.

Ultra-thin Silicone Rubber Heaters 

The flexible, lightweight and thin yet rugged silicone rubber heaters engineered by Watlow put heat where it is needed to improve heat transfer, accelerate warm-ups and reduce wattage requirements. Its maximum operating temperature is 260°C.

Rugged and Flexible Silicone Rubber Heaters

Reinforced with fibreglass, silicone rubber gives dimensional stability and security. These materials are resistant to moisture and chemicals. This makes Watlow’s silicone rubber heaters perfect for patient samples, as they can reduce humidity and condensation.

Ruggedness comes without sacrificing flexibility. A minimal amount of material separates the element from the part to enable rapid and efficient heat transfer. The ultra-thin construction of the silicon rubber heaters gives them the ability to be used in applications with limited space and more than 80 designs are available off the shelf.

Durable Rubber Heaters for Pharmaceutical Processes

Watlow’s silicone rubber heaters streamline pharmaceutical processes by delivering precise, energy-efficient thermal control in demanding settings. Their chemical- and moisture-resistant properties ensure safe interaction with sensitive biologics and harsh sterilants, while rapid heat transfer accelerates critical tasks such as autoclaving. Customisable designs adapt seamlessly to confined or irregular spaces in bioreactors, fluid lines, and diagnostic equipment, maintaining consistent temperatures for reliable results. The robust yet lightweight build endures frequent sterilisation cycles, aligning with rigorous industry regulations and reducing long-term operational costs.
