Foil heating

Foil heating - efficient protection against cold and icing

Cold, snow or ice can impair the functionality of outdoor appliances. Film heating can provide a remedy here. This heating solution consists of wafer-thin, transparent films that contain conductive layers. With even heat distribution and high energy efficiency, transparent film heaters prevent the formation of condensation or icing on electronic surfaces such as displays, cameras or sensors. Their transparent property allows them to be used on glass or other translucent materials without impairing visibility or light transmission.

Fast heat with transparent foil heating

Transparent film heaters offer a decisive advantage over traditional heating systems: their exceptional heating speed. For example, a windscreen can be heated to 60°C within a few seconds. In contrast, conventional heating systems work with fans and heating wires that primarily heat the ambient air. This process is not only more time-consuming, but also significantly more energy-intensive.

Transparent foil heating - the most important fields of application at a glance

Safety and efficiency in all weather conditions

Transparent foil heaters are versatile and ensure optimum visibility and functionality by providing reliable protection against fogging, ice and condensation. Whether in aviation, the automotive sector, traffic control systems or winter sports - they improve safety, efficiency and comfort in demanding environments and adverse weather conditions.

Die wichtigsten Einsatzbereiche von transparenten Folienheizungen
Aviation

Aviation

Foil heaters prevent the formation of ice on wings, rotor blades and propellers and thus ensure flight operations, especially in cold and damp conditions. They also protect sensitive electronics and provide a clear view for pilots and signalling lights, especially in difficult weather conditions.

Shipping

Shipping

Transparent foil heaters prevent glass surfaces from icing up or fogging up, e.g. on ship windows to ensure navigation. They also de-ice signalling lamps efficiently, especially in combination with LEDs, which improves the energy balance. Similar applications can be found in airfield lighting.

Automobil

Automobil

Transparent foil heaters prevent fogging and ice formation and ensure the function of sensors and cameras. Thanks to metal mesh technology, they are completely transparent and integrate seamlessly into vehicles such as cars, forklift trucks, agricultural machinery and automated systems.

Traffic control and toll stations

Traffic control and toll stations

Transparent foil heaters ensure clear visibility and precise measurements for speed cameras, speed cameras and toll systems by preventing snow, ice and condensation. This ensures reliable operation and supports road safety and toll collection.

Winter sports

Winter sports

Transparent foil heaters prevent ski goggles from fogging up thanks to even heat distribution and ensure clear vision in demanding conditions. They are particularly effective in heavy snowfall, high humidity and temperature changes. This technology also offers advantages in occupational safety and the military by outperforming conventional coatings in terms of reliability.
