The folded cartridge heater (PGP) is intended to heat tools, worktops, etc. where the holes are worn or drilled larger than the standard dimensions that require a tight fit (e.g. a standard cartridge heater 12.5mm requires a tight fit), while PGP 2.5mm permits a hole of 12.8mm or more). Because of its design, PGP thus adapts to the hole while heating and shrinks when it cools down, which makes it easier to remove. A special feature of this heater is also the heating along its entire length, including the tip.
