FREEZE - SAFE
Based on its patented THERMOPOLYMER® technology, Watlow has embedded a safe, low watt density heating element into a thermoplastic elastomer mat.
Features and Benefits
THERMOPOLYMER heated mats are free from seams and joints
Watlow’s
Class 1, Div. II are locations where explosive vapor conditions could exist in the event of abnormal operation, an accident, or component failure. Flammable gases and liquid groups (such as acetylene, hydrogen, ethylene, gasoline and propane) are included in this classification. Refer to articles 500 through 505 of the National Electric Code for more information on the use of electrical devices in classified locations.
The hazardous location heated mat can be used in a variety of ways. These flexible panels provide spot supplemental
