Kanthal Super
High power and long life electric heating
elements for use up to very high tempera-
tures. Manufactured as ready-made ele-
ments, straight or bent in a broad range of
standard dimensions. Used mainly in labora-
tory furnaces and production furnaces in the
glass-, electronics-, steel-, ceramics and heat
treatment industry.

SUPERTHAL
®
Heating modules with Kanthal Super ele-
ments and ceramic fibre in the form of half-
cylinders, cylinders, panels or completely
tailor made for use up to 1550 °C 2820
° F.
Superthal is used wherever concentrated heat
is needed, for example in the electronics-
and the glass industry as well as in dental
furnaces.
Thermostatic Bimetal
Bimetal consists of two or more metallic
strips with different thermal expansion
bonded together. When heated up it bends
in a pre-determined manner and can be used
to monitor, measure or regulate heat. Its
main applications are in thermostats for
room heaters or water mixing but they are
also used to control toasters and indicators
in automobiles.
Kanthal offers a wide range of some 30
standard types of thermostatic Bimetal with
different specific deflection, manufactured in
widths ranging between 170 and 1.0 mm
6.63 - 0.039 in and in thickness between
2.5 and 0.10 mm 0.097 - 0.0039 in.
Bimetal is also manufactured to specifica-
tions suitable for the snap action disc appli-
cations.
