  UHI Advantages

   Uniform Heat - Each UHI element generates evenly distributed heat output over its entire surface. Unlike wire or foil heaters which have unheated spaces between hot strips of metal, our elements provide full coverage and even distribution over it's entire surface.

   Infinitely Parallel Resistance - NOT a series resistor, the UHI element can be cut or punctured without appreciable loss of performance.

   Low Temperature Coefficient - Energy release from UHI elements is virtually independent of temperature.

   Flexibility - UHI elements are completely flexible and can be formed to a variety of contours and shapes.

   Stability - Heat output from UHI elements remains constant and uniform over the entire surface.

   Reliability - Applied properly, our elements will last for decades. Resistant to corrosion and chemical attack, UHI elements contain no metallic resistors and will not succumb to metal fatigue failure, the leading cause of failure in foil heaters.

   Safety - UHI elements are used with various materials for safe operation up to 200°C surface temperature. Elements contain both CSA and UL component approvals with customers attaining product approval in Korea, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and most of Europe.
