Heat Dissipation
Thermal Dissipation, expressed in watts per square centimeter (W/cm²), is one of the most important parameters when evaluating the performance and safety of a silicone heating blanket. This value indicates how much heat the blanket is capable of transferring to the heated surface per unit area, determining efficiency, heating time, and equipment durability. Silicone heating blankets are constructed with embedded electrical resistance elements between layers of silicone rubber — a material known for its excellent thermal resistance, flexibility, and electrical insulation properties. However, even though they are robust, they must…
