Its Warmth Makes It Flexible For Any Use.

"Carboflatex®" is our original heater material,
made by coating special polyester thread with conductive carbon paint and weaving it into a flat fabric.
It has excellent heat retention, safety, and stability,
and can be used for a wide range of purposes according to customer needs.

Feature

  1. 1

    High Heat Retention

    Double Effect of Far Infrared Rays and Uniform Heat Generation

    Carboflatex®uses carbon as the conductive thread material and emits far infrared rays. Also, the conductive threads are woven at very close intervals, so the entire fabric generates heat evenly.
    It has a high heat retention effect, and the comfortable warmth unique to far infrared rays will penetrate into the body when it is used in a thermotherapy device.

    Thermographic

  2. 2

    High Safety

    Prevents Burnout and Maintains Normal Heat Generation

    Carboflatex®has a "self-fuse function" that automatically stops the electricity when the conductive thread melts at high temperatures. It prevents burn accidents caused by abnormal heat generation.
    In addition, each conductive threads are seperated, so normal heat generation will be maintained except in the damaged areas.

    Power stops at damaged areas

    Each conductive threads role as a fuse and the electricity stops when the conductive threads are dameged .

  3. 3

    High Stability

    Heating Temperature Remains Constant Regardless of Length

    Carboflatex®uses parallel electrodes, so the heating temperature can be kept constant even if the product length or output (W) changes.
    The heating temperature can be kept constant regardless of length, making it possible to offer a wide range of products.

Specifications

Our unique technology "short-circuit electrodes"
allows for a wider range of purposes!

The electrode wire bands on the both edges of Carboflatex® are made up of multiple wires bundled together,
but each individual wire is tied together with a short-circuit wire.
This is our unique technology "short-circuit electrodes."
By using short-circuit electrodes, "The total capacity of each wire = The electrical capacity of the electrode wire band",
and making it possible to expand into long products that require large electrical capacity.
We can accommodate custom sizes to heat a wide area, such as melting snow or keeping livestock warm.

Enlarged and cross-sectional image of conductive thread

Conductive thread (weft, black) coated with carbon paint is woven together with insulating thread (warp, white) to create a woven fabric.
Heat is generated by passing electricity through the conductive thread between the electrode wire bands.

Parallel electrodes Short-circuit electrodes

If there is no short-circuit bundling, a large load will be placed on the wires close to the heat generating part (inside),
but the capacitance load of all wires can be made constant by short-circuit bundling.

We can also accommodate custom sizes,
so please feel free to contact us.

Precautions

  • Control the surface temperature of the heater to 80℃ or less. If it exceeds 80℃, the heater body may be thermally deformed or its heat generating capacity be reduced.
  • Do not use heaters with heat generating parts overlapping each other. The heater may deteriorate by occurring abnormal heat in the overlapping area, and there is no place for the heat to escape.

Manufacturing Process

How Carboflatex Is Made

STEP.1

Coating

Special polyester thread is coated with a specially formulated carbon paint to create conductive thread.

Coating

STEP.2

Adhering After Weaving

Conductive thread and polyester thread are woven together, then adhesive is coated to the fabric and dried.

Adhering After Weaving

STEP.3

Lamination

Laminating the base fabric with polyvinyl chloride and provides sufficient insulation performance for indoor use.

Lamination

Watch The Video For More Details

Primary ProcessingConductive Thread Winding - Lamination

First, conductive paint is coated to the polyester thread.
Next, a partner company weaves the conductive thread and warp thread into a fabric.
Then, adhere to the base fabric and dried, and finally the base fabric and insulating film are bonded together.

Conductive Thread Winding - Lamination

Secondary ProcessingCutting - Rolling

①Cutting ②Scribing ③Drilling holes in the electrode parts ④Resistance value inspection ⑤Insulation processing
⑥You can choose shipping forms from cut or rolled products.
(For cut products, we can handle steps ② to ⑤.)
