SIP: Power when you need it
SIP – Superimposed Impedance Polymer – is a patented, electrically conductive polymer compound with an intrinsic PTC characteristic. It consists of three primary ingredients; a thermal carbon black, a furnace carbon black and an isolating polymer matrix. The superimposed resistance vs. temperature behavior of the two carbon blacks in the presence of the isolating polymer gives a strong PTC effect. The trip region can be shifted by varying the amounts of the primary ingredients. Presently, the isolating polymer is silicone rubber (PDMS – Polydimethylsiloxane) but any other choice is covered by the patent.
The SIP compound is the central intelligence in all Conflux heating applications. SIP ensures optimized energy consumption and saves power for when you need it the most – in cool conditions.
ZPZ: Power where you need it
The ZPZ foil is an electric heating foil based on the SIP compound. It has a patented ZPZ design which means that the SIP compound is sandwiched between two thin metal sheets. Presently, the metal sheets are made of copper. With this three-layered structure, the entire metal sheets act as electrodes and the electric current runs vertically through the foil.
The combination of SIP compound and ZPZ design saves power for when and where you need it the most, a quality which is ideal for all heating applications.
ZPI: High Power and Flexibility
The ZPI – Zero Positive Infinity – foil, our latest innovation, is an electric, self-regulating heating element based on the intelligent SIP compound. The ZPI designed, three-layered structure consists of one copper sheet and an insulation sheet separated by a SIP core. A specific pattern is created on the copper side with two nodes. This structure enables the current to pass between the nodes on the copper side through the SIP compound. Like for the ZPZ foil the SIP and ZPI features ensure optimized energy consumption by saving power for when and where you need it. The ZPI structure lets us utilize the SIP features in high voltage applications and is more geometrically flexible. |
