Electric heating elements made by TFP Technology
Flexible heating elements made of insulated metals or carbon fibers for precisely controllable and efficient heat dissipation

Are your components made of fiber composites or other plastics exposed to extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations? An electric heating element fits seamlessly and homogeneously into your component and creates ideal operating temperatures and temperature conditions reliably and permanently.

At TFP, we work with you to develop a custom-fit panel heating element in terms of shape, size and layout, as well as regulation and control. We use CNC embroidery machines to apply conductive wires and heating conductors, such as insulated stainless steel and CuNi heating strands or carbon fibers, to a flexible carrier material that you can process easily and that best meets the requirements of your application.

Electrical heating elements ensure the performance, efficiency and safety of the products and processes in which your components are used.

Panel heaters made of metal heating conductors or carbon fibers are the perfect complement to your component because they:

Our flexible electric heating elements have a thermal protection switch for heat monitoring. We can optionally equip the elements with temperature sensors or temperature controllers. They thus become a heating system and replace conventional heat mats, heat foils and heat fleeces.

No matter what challenge you are currently facing with your product or component, let us work together to find a reliable and durable heating solution.

Electric heating elements: technically embroidered

We apply conductive wires and heating conductors, such as insulated stainless steel and CuNi heating strands or carbon fibers, to a flexible carrier material using CNC embroidery machines. This results in high-performance heating elements for your specific application – also as a component of preforms that you process further in your thermosetting or thermoplastics processes. Tailored Fiber Placement by means of technical embroidery scores above all with its near-net-shape production, which results in a maximum of 3% fiber waste.

Electric heat mats for your innovative applications and products

Anti-Icing & De-Icing mit elektrischen Heizelementen vom Hersteller TFP Technology

Anti-icing and de-icing with electric heating elements

Use electric heating elements for quick and effective anti-icing or de-icing. They produce heat cost-effectively exactly where it is needed and are an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical de-icing agents. The higher initial investment pays off over the life cycle of the heating elements with lower costs and greater sustainability. We work with you to develop customized heat mats for anti-icing or de-icing that heats your component exactly where you need the heat. Learn more

Elektrische Heizsysteme mit Thermostat und Steuerung vom Hersteller TFP Technology

Electric heating systems with thermostat and control

Transform heat mats into heating systems with multi-stage switches, variable controllers or thermostats. They are suitable for mobile use with battery operation and stationary use with mains operation (12 or 24 V). With your logo and design on request. Learn more

Carbon Heizmatte: Elektrische Heizelemente vom Hersteller TFP Technology

Carbon heat mats and heating foils

Use lightweight carbon fibers or carbon fibers as heat conductors for heat transfer in carbon heat mats or heating foils. They are light, thin, highly flexible and flame-retardant. Carbon heat mats generate heat particularly quickly and distribute it evenly across the heating element without hotspots. We develop and produce individual heating systems for you based on carbon or carbon fibers in various sizes (up to 2,700 mm x 10,000 mm), with freely designable shapes and suitable carrier materials.

Heizmatten für Infrarotheizung: Elektrische Heizelemente vom Hersteller TFP Technology

Heat mats for infrared heating

Use heat mats with carbon heating conductors in your infrared heating system. They quickly generate a homogeneous and very pleasant heat and can be easily integrated into your innovative infrared heating system. We produce individual heat mats for you as semi-finished products for infrared radiators up to a size of 2,700 mm x 10,000 mm with a flexible fiber layout on various carrier materials. Infrared heaters are an efficient heating solution for a wide range of domestic, commercial and industrial applications. Learn more

Flexible heating elements with metal strands and carbon fibers for your industrial application

With our innovative embroidery technology, we apply conductive wires and heating conductors, such as insulated stainless steel and CuNi heating strands or carbon fibers, to various carrier materials. Flexible heating elements are suitable for many industrial and medical applications.

They impress with the following properties:

How your heating elements are made

We contact your heating elements

Do you need your semi-finished products with an electrical connection so that you can integrate them quickly and easily into your products? No problem!

In our contacting department, we equip your heating elements with electrical connections.

We use advanced splicing, soldering and crimping techniques to integrate connections, NTCs, sensors or other technologies for you.

We cater to your individual requirements and also implement special connector solutions for applications where standard solutions are not sufficient. This flexibility makes it possible to deliver products that are precisely tailored to the needs and requirements of your customers

We laminate & laminate your heating elements

Do you need self-adhesive heat mats to integrate them quickly and easily into your products? Do you want your heating elements to be permanently connected to a second textile material? No problem!

On request, we can process your semi-finished products using processes such as cold or hot lamination and laminating.

Cold lamination

Cold lamination is characterized by an applied self-adhesive layer, which simplifies further processing of the heating element: you stick the heating element in place and do not need any other aids to attach it.

Hot lamination

With hot lamination, we apply another material to the heating element. This protects the wires and strands or serves to integrate additional functional properties.

Lamination

With our advanced laminating process, we use heat and pressure to permanently bond two textile materials – identical or different – together for you. This process primarily serves to protect the component.

Heating elements from TFP Technology can do even more

They integrate seamlessly into fiber preforms to reinforce your components

Integrate the heating function seamlessly and homogeneously into your fiber preforms for precise reinforcement of your fiber composite component or plastic product!

They carry sensors and other functions
