BriskHeat Silicone Rubber Heating Blanket for Bioreactor 4 x 20 in.

BriskHeat N47-100 Silicone Rubber Heating Blanket (4 x 20 in.)

The BriskHeat N47-100 is a high-performance, flexible silicone rubber heating blanket engineered for precise thermal management in laboratory and bioprocessing environments. Measuring 4 x 20 inches, this blanket is specifically designed to wrap securely around cylindrical vessels such as bioreactors, fermentation tanks, and large-scale glass carboys. The heating element is laminated between two layers of 20-mil fiberglass-reinforced silicone rubber, providing exceptional durability, moisture resistance, and chemical compatibility. With its high watt-density and uniform heat distribution, the N47-100 eliminates localized hot spots, ensuring a stable and consistent temperature profile that is essential for sensitive biological cultures and chemical reactions.

Technical Performance and Design

• Uniform Thermal Distribution: The etched-foil or wire-wound heating element is designed to provide consistent heat across the entire 80-square-inch surface, preventing thermal gradients in the process fluid.

• Reinforced Silicone Construction: Fiberglass reinforcement provides the structural integrity needed for repeated wrapping and unwrapping, while the silicone outer shell offers excellent dielectric strength and moisture protection.

• Flexible Geometry: The thin, pliable profile allows for a "second-skin" fit on curved surfaces, ensuring maximum heat transfer efficiency from the blanket to the vessel wall.

• Industrial-Grade Leads: Equipped with high-temperature power leads designed for integration with PID temperature controllers, providing the granular control required for critical biopharma applications.
