✓ and suitable layout, shape & size.
Are your components made of fiber-reinforced composites or other plastics exposed to extreme temperatures or temperature fluctuations? An electric heating element integrates seamlessly and homogeneously into your component, reliably and permanently creating ideal operating temperatures or temperature conditions.
At TFP, we work with you to develop a perfectly tailored surface heating element in terms of shape, size, layout, control, and regulation. We bring conductive wires and heating conductors, such as insulated stainless steel and CuNi heating strands or Carbon fibers applied using CNC embroidery machines onto a flexible carrier material that you can easily process further and that best meets the requirements of your application.
Electric heating elements ensure the performance, efficiency and safety of the products and processes in which your components are used.
Our flexible electric heating elements feature a Thermal protection switch for heat monitoring. Optional Can we combine the elements with Temperature sensors or temperature controllers equip them. They thus become Heating system and replace conventional heating mats, heating films and heating 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.
We bring conductive wires and heating conductors, such as insulated stainless steel and CuNi heating strands or Carbon fibers Using CNC embroidery machines, the fibers are applied to a flexible substrate. This creates high-performance heating elements for your specific application – also as components of preforms that you can further process in your thermosetting or thermoplastic processes. Tailored fiber placement using technical embroidery is particularly advantageous due to its near-net-shape manufacturing, in which maximum 3% fiber rejects or waste arise.
Use electric heating elements for a fast and effective anti-icing or de-icingThey produce heat cost-effectively exactly where it is needed, and are a environmentally friendly alternative to chemical de-icing agentsThe higher initial investment pays off over the life cycle of the heating elements with lower costs and greater sustainability. We will develop a solution with you. Individual heating mat for anti-icing or de-icing, which places your component exactly there heated, where you need the heat. Learn more
Transform heating mats into multi-stage heating systems Switches, variables regulators or ThermostatThey are suitable for mobile use with battery and stationary use with Power supply operation (12 or 24 V). Available with your logo and design upon request. Learn more
Use lightweight materials Carbon fibers as heating conductors for heat transfer in Carbon heating mats or heating filmsThey are lightweight, thin, highly flexible, and flame-retardant. Carbon heating mats generate heat up particularly quickly and distribute these evenly across the heating element without hotspots. We develop and produce for you individual heating systems based on carbon fibers in various sizes (up to 2.700 mm x 10.000 mm), with freely customizable shapes and suitable substrate materials.

Put Heating mats with carbon heating conductors in your Infrared heating They quickly generate a homogeneous and very pleasant warmth and can be easily integrated into your innovative infrared heating system. We produce them for you. Individual heating mats as semi-finished products for infrared heaters up to a 2.700 mm x 10.000 mm With flexible fiber layouts on various substrate materials, infrared heaters are an efficient heating solution for a wide range of residential, commercial, and industrial applications.

They impress with the following qualities:
Cost-efficient manufacturing of complex heating elements
Complex patterns, layers, or arrangements of heating conductors
Excellent drapeability and resistance to mechanical stress: 3D deformable
Individual combination of lightweight fibers (carbon, glass fiber, aramid, basalt, …) and metals
Seamless integration of heating elements into fiber preforms - also with sensor integration
Manufacturing with high repeatability in small and large series.
Uniform temperature control plays a crucial role in ensuring stable processes for tools and fixtures. In our technical article on tool heating and temperature control, we demonstrate the challenges that arise with complex geometries and how textile heating elements can be used as an integrated solution.

You need your Semi-finished products with electrical connectionWant to integrate them quickly and easily into your products? No problem!
During our contacting process, we equip your heating elements with electrical connections.
We use advanced splicing, soldering and crimping techniques to integrate connectors, NTCs, sensors or other technologies for you.
We address your individual requirements and implement special connector solutions for applications where standard solutions are insufficient. This flexibility allows us to deliver products precisely tailored to your customers' needs and requirements.
Do you need self-adhesive heating matsNeed to integrate them quickly and easily into your products? Want your heating elements to be permanently bonded to a second textile material? No problem!
Upon request, we can further process your semi-finished products using methods such as cold or hot lamination and laminating.
Cold lamination is characterized by an applied self-adhesive layer, which simplifies further processing of the heating element: you glue the heating element in place and do not need any other tools for attachment.
In hot lamination, we apply another material to the heating element. This protects the wires and strands or serves to integrate additional functional properties.
Using our advanced lamination process, we permanently bond two textile materials – identical or different – together using heat and pressure. This process primarily serves to protect the component.
