Mica Heaters
Mica Heating Solutions
Birk Manufacturing’s mica heaters are expertly designed for applications requiring the highest watt densities and rapid heat-up time. Utilizing specialized phlogopite mica sheets as the insulation material, these heaters ensure even heat distribution and high-temperature performance.
The mica sheets, infused with a heat-resistant polymer, create a thin, high-temperature insulator perfect for clamped applications. Mica heating elements from Birk are highly versatile, capable of being formed to fit curved surfaces and complex geometries. They can be shaped into intricate 2D designs for precise clamped assemblies, making them ideal for applications like hot plates and metal-strip heaters, where direct and consistent surface contact is crucial.
As the leading manufacturer of mica heating elements, Birk Manufacturing collaborates closely with customers to provide customized solutions that meet the highest temperature and watt density requirements. We can provide turn-key mica heater assemblies for custom specifications.
