Tempco Electric Heater Corporation's Composite Curing Heater Blankets are designed for applications in the aerospace and marine industries, specifically for bonding and curing composite structures using vacuum bagging techniques. These blankets feature a maximum temperature rating of 500¬8F (260¬8C) for intermittent use and 392¬8F (200¬8C) for continuous use. Constructed from fiberglass reinforced silicone rubber, they provide durability and flexibility, with a smooth bottom layer for optimal contact with composite materials. The heater blankets ensure temperature uniformity with a guaranteed ¬±10¬8F (¬±5.5¬8C) across the surface, achieved through computer-designed resistance elements and a circuit spacing of 1/4 inch. They include a 2" vó 2" unheated lead exit tab to maximize heating area while maintaining strain relief. The blankets are available in various sizes, with a maximum width of 36 inches and a maximum length of 120 inches, and can be ordered in either 120 Vac or 240 Vac voltage options. Each blanket is traceable via a serial number, and thermal mapping certification is available to meet industry standards for optimal curing processes.
Tempco’s composite bonding and curing heater blankets are designed with an extra strong strain relief, and even heat distribution to produce the best possible cure or bond. Temperature uniformity is optimized for even heating through computer designed resistance elements. Circuit spacing is maintained at 1/4" for larger heater blankets or less on smaller heaters. This technique guarantees a ±10°F (±5.5°C) temperature uniformity across the heater blanket. The lead wires exit the heater through an unheated 2" × 2" lead exit tab. This allows the overall heater surface to be heated while maintaining a separate unheated section for the transition from resistance element to the leads and a solid strain relief.
