A thin and lightweight component that can have a widespread impact on various applications throughout your car is our thin foil heater, which can be customised with various designs and contours and delivered with adhesive for easy assembly.
Our thin foil heaters consist of sheets of PET and conductive inks. They are versatile and can quickly heat EV battery packs and vehicle interiors or evaporate moisture in car logos and onboard cameras.
With a reaction time of seconds, cold-weather malfunctioning of EV batteries can be prevented. Our foils instantly heat the cold battery when the vehicle turns on. In car interiors, it can replace conventional heating systems, saving both space and weight. With sensors and cameras, heater foils can be applied to prevent freezing and fogging, enhancing the vehicle’s overall safety.
Through co-engineering, we design the most efficient conductive pattern. Multiple inks, each with its properties, can be used to reach the perfect temperature and heating behaviour. A positive temperature coefficient ink, or PTC ink, even has the benefit of self-regulating the maximum temperature, steadying it based on the design, reducing the likelihood of overheating. We can also isolate or laminate the foils to avoid short-circuiting.
ALT Technologies co-engineers with its customers to provide unmatched flexibility and precision in design. Through advanced die-cutting capabilities, we excel in tailoring foils with intricate details, such as precise hole placements and customised shapes.
Our team’s experience ensures we provide the best combination of inks, substrates, and laminate coatings for your solution.
An adhesive can be added to the heater if the application requires it, ensuring steadfast performance throughout the vehicle’s lifespan.
As with all of our automotive solutions, our adhesives are engineered to withstand high temperatures and moisture.
