✓ With material-homogeneous carrier material
✓ Individual heating temperature, operating voltage & heating power
✓ and matching layout, shape & size.
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.
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 heating mats, heating foils 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 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.
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 a customized heating mat for anti-icing or de-icing that heats your component exactly where you need the heat. Learn more
Transform heating 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
Use lightweight carbon fibers or carbon fibers as heat conductors for heat transfer in carbon heating mats or heating foils. They are light, thin, highly flexible and flame-retardant. Carbon heating 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.

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
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:
Cost-efficient production of complex heating elements
Complex patterns, layers or arrangements of heatsealing bands
Excellent drapability and insensitive to mechanical impact: 3D moldable
Individual combination of lightweight fibers (carbon, glass fiber, aramid, basalt, ...) and metals
Seamless integration of heating elements in fiber preforms - also with sensor integration
Production with high repeat accuracy in small and large series
Get in touch with us! We look forward to your idea or challenge!
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
Do you need self-adhesive heating 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 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.
With hot lamination, we apply another material to the heating element. This protects the wires and strands or serves to integrate additional functional properties.
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.
Integrate the heating function seamlessly and homogeneously into your fiber preforms for precise reinforcement of your fiber composite component or plastic product!
Expand your seamless heating mat with necessary or additional functions, such as damage sensing, measurement data acquisition, data transmission and much more!
