RexVa XiCA Carbon Heating Film – PTC305 / PTC308 / PTC310 Self-Regulating Infrared Heater

Self-regulating PTC carbon heating film (PTC305/308/310) for infrared radiant heating in floor or wall applications.

XiCA Heating Film is the most advanced face-shape far-infrared heating element unit which is made through the following processes of
1) applying carbon heating element to base film,
2) putting a thin coating made with activated carbon to absorb pollutants,
3) creating electrode with copper foil,
4) lastly making laminating process with film made from PET material.

Unlike regular heaters, carbon heating element are coated on the entire film which enables them to emit far-infrared radiation evenly. This is beneficial to your health making you feel the warmth of sunshine.
And also the exterior material of film heater is special fabric made of PET material and processed with special waterproof coating to avoid contacts with air, and thus the XiCA Heating Film is a future-oriented heating material for wall, ceiling, and floor to be semi-permanently used.
The performance of heating film is dependant on the nano-particle dispersion technology made by cohesion and resistance of silver particles.

How to Choose a High Quality Heating Film

Heating film configuration	Required functionality	Check point
Film (P.E.T. Film)	thermal shrinkage when heating	check the width difference between base film and laminex film.
	structure to prevent moisture penetration	check reflection on structure to prevent moisture penetration when designing film.
	adhesive property when exfoliating	check adhesive strength after exfoliating film.
	surface scratch	watch film surface and check film scratch to confirm insulation maintenance.
	insulation condition	check if film for insulation/flame-retardant is used. translucent film : for insulation and flame-retardant transparent film : for normal display
	hardening	check if film surface is uneven.
Copper Foil Booth Bar	copper foil width	foil is, The more current is allowed when applying electric current.
	copper foil thickness	the thinner copper foil is, the less spark occurs to avoid widening gap between copper foil and film.
	type of copper foil	Electric conductivity : tough pitch copper (pure copper) : 106% Phosphorus-deoxidized copper : 86%
Dopping	even carbon surface	Check surface with more than 10 times magnifying glass.
	spark-resistant design	When suffering overload on carbon printing surface, check if design reflects structure to prevent sparks.
	silver surface	When measuring electrical resistance of silver surface to prevent sparks, the lower resistance, the safer. (Ideal below 1-ohm)
