The Conflux PTC heating foil
We have a desire - heating shall be safe and easy.
• No risk of overheating – automatically switches off point by point
• Fast heating - high power without high temperatures
• Energy optimizing – heats only when and where needed
• Eliminates regulating electronics
• Handles fast changes in heat load
• Thin and flexible
A unique heating technology
The Conflux heating foils strive to automatically
bring your application to a desired temperature
and keep it there, regardless of how the
surrounding conditions change.
Just connect it and you are ready to go. It will never
overheat, anywhere.
It is especially useful for applications requiring:
• Fast heating and deicing - high power when it is
cold.
• Dynamic heat loads – when the surrounding
conditions changes fast
• Limited energy available, e.g. battery powered
applications. It switches off automatically where
and when no additional heat is needed.
• To never exceed your safety temperature –
nowhere.
• No control by thermostat or electronics – self
adjusting point by point.
Optimal energy use
100% of the Conflux foil’s surface is active. Every
point on the foil surface is independently
temperature limiting. Thus, the foil only heats
where it is cold, and only when it is cold which
optimizes the power consumption.
High power
The Conflux foil can be designed to produce heat
over a wide power range. Note that even a high
power heater will never be warmer than the safety
temperature, anywhere. Not even if it separates
from the object it heats or is covered with
insulation.
Simplifies your design process
The Conflux heater can be designed over a wide
parameter space. Hence, you can focus on your
product design and geometrical constraints, still
finding a heater with optimal thermal properties.
The Conflux foil is thin and flexible, and fits in most
applications without requiring additional space.

Stable to voltage variations
A Conflux heater is stable to voltage variations. It
produces a similar amount of power over a wide
voltage range due to the strong PTC effect.
