Alper promotes PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) technology. A special carbon ink with high PTC effect is printed on a flexible and thin PET substrate by screen-printing. The "self-limiting" heater reaches the temperature defined by the PTC ink without exceeding it.
Alper's cutting-edge heating elements, printed with PTC ink, offer a smart solution for various applications. Alper heating elements printed with PTC ink are self-limiting, as the temperature of the system increases, the PTC heater increases its resistivity with the consequent decrease in its power. This distinct characteristic sets Alper's flexible heaters apart, rendering them ideal for particular and sensitive applications, including those in contact with skin and textiles.
PTC ink heaters eliminate the need for additional temperature limiters, this characteristic contributes to reduced production costs and translating into more competitive pricing. Furthermore, these PTC ink heaters possess a remarkably slim, foil-like thickness, which enhances their versatility.
On request the product can be adhesive, even in part, and can be completed with any type of cable and connector.
Our production processes guarantee high quality standards combined with a high production capacity. Alper additive production processes, produce harmless waste to the environment and humans.
