Flexible Heating Elements,
including Silicone, Polyimide,
Polyester and Mica constructions

RICA, an ISO 9001:2000 approved facility, builds custom flexible heaters of various constructions using silicone, Kapton or polyester designed for   warming applications and many other areas where thin profile heating is required. Exact watt densities can be created allowing the heater to operate as a core heating system or a warming agent. RICA has a successful history in the aerospace and hi-reliability fields in space applications. I am sure RICA can satisfy any needs you may have in this field of technology.

RICA is ESA qualified to 4009 and associated detail specifications 4009/002, and is familiar and has produced products to Goddard S-311-079. Kapton heater designs from RICA in space include satellites and space station projects; Rosetta, ATV, Radarsat, Smart 1, Astra, Helios 2, Globalstar, Hot Bird 7,   Nodo 2, Geo 12,   Syracuse, just to name a few.

Low cost Mica encapsulated heater. Can be installed on almost any contact surface. High wattage at a low cost!

Polyester constructions can be made in long lengths with low cost, yet exacting design needs!
