RS PRO Silicone Heater Mat, 5 W, 50 x 100mm, 12 V dc

Precise and flexible heat distribution plays a crucial role in many applications where temperature control system for heating, warm and frost protection in drums, cylinders or hoppers machinery is invaluable in heating technology.

The construction of the heating element has a simple concept by laminating spaced resistance wires between two sheets of silicone rubber to improve heat transfer and speed warm-ups of the industrial applications.

In the jungle of different wire mats available on the market, it could be a time-consuming exercise to find the right silicone heaters for your project. We have a solution to this problem as our dedicated, carefully selected heaters offer high-quality while keeping your budget under control.

Today, we are proudly introducing our own branded RS PRO Adhesive Silicone Mat designed for areas where standard heating methods are challenging to apply. Our Mat is self-adhesive and has etched foil element embedded into a glass cloth supported rubber compound.

It is worth to note that control of the temperature should always be in place, and the safety margin applied as the maximum peak temperature for this silicone part should never exceed +200°C.

The Silicone Rubber with a diverse range of industries across multiple sectors makes them ideal, particularly in:

• Production of heaters


• Automotive Industries


• GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) repairs


• Heating lower / medium temperature drums, cylinders, flat plates, water basins or food process machinery

RS PRO is our own-brand range of great-value products. Each part of every RS PRO product is stringently tested against demanding industry standards. We give it our seal of approval only when we're confident of exceptional quality. That's why RS PRO is trusted by engineers worldwide.

To make sure the optimum performance for this heater is achievable, both temperature sensing and control elements should play together.

The Heater Mat is not suitable for stand-alone operation.

These heaters shall only be used where adequate electrical, thermal and mechanical barriers are provided to prevent access to hazardous parts without the use of a tool.

Multi-Purpose Process Heaters

In order to obtain optimum performance from these products, it is advised that temperature sensing and control elements be used with them.
