What is Solid HeatFlex™?

Solid HeatFlex is a unique material technology that distinguishes it from the existing technologies.

Solid HeatFlex™ is pressure-free, energy-efficient, and flexible. Moreover, the heating temperature can be controlled in real-time at the material level since the temperature sensor is directly embeddable in the material, which is one of the unique differences among other material technologies.

Overview of Solid HeatFlex

Below is the summary of the Solid HeatFlex characteristics.

Composition	Stainless Fiber
Pressure from external forces	Highly durable from continuous external forces or pressure
Temperature control	Temperature control by a sensor; directly embeddable at the material level on real-time bases.
Durability	Continuous operation with a broken circuit; With a broken wire, it can still supply electrical current through other wires; Due to anti-oxidation properties, the life expectancy is longer than any other materials.
Energy efficiency and uniform heat distribution	Allowing uniform heat disbursement offers high conductivity and high energy efficiency.
Applications	Heat tracing conduit for chemical, electrical plants, Seals, and covers for mission-critical devices in aerospace, weapons, and washable clothing.
