HEATSELF is an industrial SME specialized in the development and production of thermal solutions. HEATSELF offers around fifteen different types of self-regulating heating components, cable solutions, foils, and wire for industry applications. HEATSELF specializes in the transformation of plastic material into electric-powered elements able to emit calories. HEATSELF employs electrically conductive polymers able to emit heat using the surrounding temperature without using any electronic control system. The number of calories spread by the polymers made by HEATSELF depends on the temperature of the environment they are in or of the support on which they are fixed. The material used to make the HEATSELF products is thermosensitive and is able to dilate or contract depending on the surrounding temperature. This result is obtained thanks to HEATSELF’s know-how in the production of polymers with an electrical impedance varying with temperature. The advantage of using HEATSELF’s technology for industrial applications is the use of materials able to adjust the amount of energy needed to maintain industrial processes.

HEATSELF certificate ISO 9001 (V2015) demonstrates the HEATSELF capacity to manage Research for space, aircraft and automotive projects with European Space Agency, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales, THALES ALENIA SPACE, SAFRAN, FORVIA...

R&D activities represent less than 50% of HEATSELF’s activity. HEATSELF is able to formulate polymers on a dedicated line, and produce also heating strips, wires, cables, and foils.

In order to monitor R&D and production, HEATSELF set up an electro-thermal characterization laboratory and a performance test bench to assess products over time. HEATSELF now also has the necessary tools to simulate temperature variations in a climatic chamber.
