Flexible NiCr 80/20 Heating Tape with High Temperature Resistance for Laboratory

Product Specification

Nichrome heating tape, composed of NiCr 80/20 (80% Nickel, 20% Chromium) alloy, is a versatile and high-performance heating element for both laboratory and industrial applications. NiCr 80/20 is widely recognized for its excellent oxidation resistance, high melting point, and stable electrical resistance, which makes it ideal for flexible heating elements like tapes and strips.

DLX heating tapes feature NiCr 80/20 alloy strips, encased in durable insulation such as silicone rubber, fiberglass, or fluoropolymer, depending on the application environment. This combination ensures flexibility, chemical resistance, and thermal stability, allowing the tape to conform to complex surfaces while maintaining consistent heat output.

The precise alloy composition and quality control during production ensure that DLX Nichrome tapes maintain uniform resistance along their entire length, delivering reliable and predictable heating performance for sensitive laboratory instruments and demanding industrial equipment.

Industry Analysis

Nichrome heating tapes are widely used across laboratory research, industrial heating, packaging, and chemical processing industries. These sectors require precise, consistent heating, often applied to irregular surfaces or instruments where flexibility is critical.

Global trends indicate growing demand for high-temperature resistant, flexible, and customizable heating elements. Industries are shifting toward solutions that reduce downtime, improve energy efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan.

DLX has observed that clients increasingly prefer flexible heating solutions over rigid cables when they need rapid, localized heating or customized heating geometries. Laboratory environments particularly benefit from the precision and repeatability that NiCr 80/20 heating tapes provide. In industrial settings, flexible tapes are used for process heating, mold heating, and equipment surface maintenance, where uniformity and safety are essential.

Product Introduction

DLX’s Nichrome Heating Tape NiCr 80/20 combines flexibility, durability, and precise heat output in a compact form. The NiCr 80/20 alloy core provides stable resistance across a wide temperature range, up to 1200°C, ensuring reliable performance in even the most demanding conditions.

The tapes are available with various insulation types, including high-temperature silicone rubber, fiberglass braided jackets, or fluoropolymer coatings, tailored to the client’s specific application needs. DLX carefully controls alloy composition, tape thickness, and insulation uniformity to produce a consistent, high-performance heating element.

Applications often require the tape to be wrapped around cylindrical instruments, adhered to flat surfaces, or integrated into custom industrial assemblies, and DLX heating tapes are designed to conform easily without compromising performance or safety.
