CarboImpreg

about

CarboImpreg is an electrically conductive impregnation for heating absorptive surfaces up to 100°C. Very simple application, operation on non-hazardous low voltages plus high-performance heating mean a whole variety of possibilities of use.
 
Surfaces impregnated in this way can be electrically heated by applying a non-hazardous low voltage (e.g. 12 or 24 V).
 
CarboImpreg is suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, for example:

  • surface heating for vehicles,
  • heating of natural and synthetic fiber fabrics or fleeces,
  • heating of leather,
  • heating of fiberglass fabrics,
  • wall heating (e.g. for building renovation),
  • heating in machine and plant engineering,
  • heating for molds (e.g. CRP/GRP parts),
  • anti-frost protection.

 

Properties

Characteristics: 

Unlike coatings, CarboImpreg will soak into the surface of a material and fuse with it internally. In this way full processing of the material without any restrictions is still assured. And additionally it becomes highly wear-resistant.
 
Compared to conventional heating elements CarboImpreg offers many other advantages:

  • very simple application, by manual or mechanical means,
  • heating of surface geometries of any shape, and flexible materials (e.g. natural materials),
  • extremely high electrical safety through operation on non-hazardous low voltage,
  • direct use of low-voltage sources, e.g. 12/24 V onboard networks and solar current,
  • entirely even heating of large areas without hot spots,
  • straightforward electrical connection,
  • simplicity of control,
  • highly cost-attractive compared to conventional heating systems.

 
CarboImpreg consists of a binder matrix and a special, highly conductive carbon preparation. Excellent conductivity  (R☐ up to 1Ω ) allows high heating performance solutions on non-hazardous low voltages (e.g. 12 or 24 V). Furthermore, treated surfaces exhibit high ampacity, enabling very fast heat buildup rates.
 
CarboImpreg heating solutions are highly robust. The impregnation does not degrade the processing characteristics of the carrier material, and exhibits excellent resistance to water and alkalis.

Applications

Applications: 

Chemical Fibers, Natural Fibers, Composites, Fiberglass Fabrics and genuine leather can be impregnated and heated with CarboImpreg.
 
CarboImpreg is especially attractive for the automobile industry, for electrically heating materials used in a vehicle interior such as leather, textiles or non-woven materials.
 
CarboImpreg is also suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, for example:

  • surface heating for vehicles,
  • heating of natural and synthetic fiber fabrics or fleeces,
  • heating of leather,
  • heating of fiberglass fabrics,
  • wall heating (e.g. for building renovation),
  • heating in machine and plant engineering,
  • heating for molds (e.g. CRP/GRP parts),
  • anti-frost protection.
