Hi everyone,
A colleague asked me to inquire about rope heaters, or
heating wires. These are electrical wires, used (among
other things) as integrated heating elements in various
orthopaedic applications (socks etc.).
The ones he needs are made of thin metal wires, wound
on a core of synthetic fibres (possibly kevlar), covered with
plastic/silicone to form a robust 1mm wire with resistance in the
range 0.4 - 1.2 ohms/m.
He has thoroughly searched for a supplier of such wires on the web and
elsewhere, but without success. So if anyone knows of a supplier
of this or a similar product (foils etc. that generate heat),
anywhere in the world, please respond to me and I will forward
the information.
Thank you in advance!
Sincerely,
