ThermaQ heating system is the most advanced far-infrared
planar heating element made of insulated and flame-retardant
base film applied with carbon heating element, thin-coated with
active carbon, absorbent for contaminants and laminated with
PET film after making electrodes with copper bus bar.
Unlike a normal heater, the carbon heating element applied all
over the film emits far infrared radiant heat good for the health
uniformly so that you can feel warmth like sunlight.
Since the exterior material for film heater is a special polyester
fabrics with a special waterproofing treatment not to contact the
air, it is a future-oriented heater for wall, ceiling or floor heating
which can be used almost semi-permanently.
The performance of heating system depends on dispersion
technology of nano particles by adhesion and resistance of carbon particles, silver particles and others.
ThermaQ Heating System
®
The planar heating element emits a radiant heat generated from electric energy
conducted and absorbed by wide surface of thin film itself; i.e. a directly and
without process of convective or conductive momentarily transferred heating method
heat transfer,
The Advantages of Planar Heating Element
No loss of heat,
Time not required for maintaining heating
Obtaining Desirable temperature through a digital temperature
controller
Heating surface area is 5 to 10 times bigger than by conventional
heaters, as a result the heat distributes evenly in all directions
Simplicity in installation
Low load on the building
Easiness in maintenance
Structure
Safeness
® Structure
ThermaQ Heating System is
produced by accurate (under 1 micron)
printing technology by coating carbon on
PET film to radiate heat.
The film is so strong that you can not
cut it without scissors because the
material was heat-treated over 150
Steady temperature range and
resistance variation
• Coating high density carbon particle
• Cutting edge doping technology for
uniformly printed surface
• Continuous development of special
equipment for heating system
• World class film with the character of
insulation and anti-flame
• Preventing spark on carbon surface by
specialized design
• Special waterproof treatment
• Laminated insulation film

®The System
1. Carbon Paste, Heating part of
ThermaQ HEATING System
Carbon Black is a material obtained from
carbon © like diamond as a main ingredient
and applied to automobile, ink or cosmetics.
It is called carbon fiber to do heat treatment
at 1,000-3,000 and graphite fiber to do
heat treatment at more than 2,500 through
manufacturing process. Graphite is widely
used as a material for electric heating
element because of its high resistance to
heat, its low coefficient of resistance and
excellent thermal conductivity and electrical
conductivity.
Depending on mixing ratio of carbon and
graphite in carbon strip, the part of heat
generation in heating, adhesion, resistance,
etc can be adjusted. (It is to use properties
of round molecular structure of carbon and
tabular structure of graphite.)
®ThermaQ Heating Component Characteristics
If resistance of silver paste, the planar heating element, is high, it
may cause sparks and problem in safety. The lower resistance of
conductor , the higher electrical efficiency.
2. Silver Paste, Conduction part
of ThermaQ Heating System
Silver paste, a conductive pasting
material, is a low temperature
type of conductive paste applied
to planar heating element, which
has excellent property for screen
printing, high conductivity,
excellent flexibility and excellent
adhesion to P.E.T with Laminex.
Test of resistance results in less
than 0.1Ω.

Characteristics of P.E.T Film
Excellent electric or electro thermal wire widely used as an
electric insulation for power generator, transformer, etc.
Applied to heat sensitive areas such as film, coating, etc
because of its low thermal shrinkage (Shrinkage rate +/-2% at
placement for 20 minutes at 150)
High strength and elasticity
Excellent durability against chemical reaction
UV-protective effect
Little ingredients hazardous to environment at incineration

5. E.V.A, E.E.A, heat resistant adhesives for ThermaQ Heating System
Adhesives for laminating in process of manufacturing heating film are mainly applied with E.V.A
(Ethylene-vinylacetate) and E.E.A (Ethylene-Ethylacylate).
Adhesion of laminating part is very important for heating film to prevent from moisture
penetration, thermal resistance and formation of air layer in the film.
