THE DETAILS ARE IN THE DESIGN
Cactus Materials has the engineering expertise and manufacturing capability to design innovative thermal heaters. Along with our exclusive manufacturing partners in Japan (world-class thermal heater manufacturers), we can custom design state-of-the-art thermal heaters to your needs. The Cactus Materials engineered ceramic thermal heaters excel in thermal uniformity as well as rapid temperature control.
The Highest Power Density in the World
Cactus Materials has modernized the boron nitride (BN) technology and its proprietary manufacturing expertise to be able to bring the Cactus Ultra-Ceramic thermal heaters to the north American market. Boron nitride (BN) has double the thermal conductivity than that of conventional ceramic heaters, like aluminium nitride (AlN), and superior materials selection is one of the major contributors to our breakthrough.

Cactus Ultra-Ceramic Thermal Heaters
Cactus Ultra-Ceramic Boron Nitride Thermal Heater
Boron nitride (BN) thermal heater with the highest power density (300 W/cm^2) and ramp up rate (500C/s). The BN heater has operating temperatures of up to 1600C. All of our heaters can be custom designed and manufactured to your needs.
Ultra-Ceramic Aluminium Nitride Heater
Specifications
Power density: 200 W/cm^2
Ramp up rate: 300 C/s
Ramp up rate: 300 C/s
Pictured left is a compact AlN heater, one of the many form factors achievable with our manufacturing capabilities. This ceramic heater incorporates an AlN base for high thermal conductivity and demonstrates uniform heat distribution.
This heater is best suited for use in extreme environments with rapid heating and cooling requirements. |
Conventional ceramic heaters with embedded elements require complex manufacturing processes which limit the ability to reduce costs. The Cactus Materials aluminium nitride hot plate features an electric heating circuit made by printing and baking a heating element pattern in a sintered ceramic base. While current maximum temperatures are approximately 680C, by altering the material of the element pattern, we are able to support even higher temperatures.
Advantages
- Energy conserving:
- Since the electrical resistance ratio of the element can be adjusted arbitrarily, Cactus Materials has the ability to design heaters to match the application in high or low temperature environments.
- Rapid heating and cooling:
- Aluminium nitride has great properties such as high thermal conductivity and durability to thermal shocks. Incorporating the material for these properties to the heater gives it rapid heating (200C/s) and cooling abilities.
- Low cost:
- The post-fire design allows production of prototypes, small lots, and mass production.
Ultra-Ceramic Alumina Heater
Specifications
Power density: 150 W/cm^2
Ramp up rate: 200C/s
Ramp up rate: 200C/s
Cactus Ultra-Thin Micathermal Heaters
Conventional micathermal heaters can be used up to about 250°C to 300°C. We have developed a high temperature micathermal heater which is able to support temperatures up to 800°C. The high watt density enables rapid heating with improved response by increasing the output per unit area. We know that customers who are using conventional sheath heaters can use this product to solve issues related to heat distribution and heater thickness.
