Flexible elements/Heating foil

Flexible elements, or foil elements, offers many advantages, besides the fact that the material is flexible.

E.g. the possibility of multiple circuits or multiple voltages in the same element or the easy possibility to locate a sensor. The elements are suitable for different applications in a wide range of business such as communication, vehicles, monitoring, medicine, individual comfort heat, domestic heating etc.
