| ‘Smart’ Heating Technology
ThermoCeramiX, Inc. develops, manufactures and markets ‘smart’
electroresistive coating and heating technology, known as TCX.
TCX coatings can serve as heaters and sensors. TCX heater/sensor
arrays enable robust real-time control of a thermal process. The
coatings are made by applying molten advanced material complexes
directly onto the part to be heated. Electrical resistance is
determined by controlling the material composition and geometry of
the coatings.
TCX offers many additional competitive advantages:
- Wide range of temperature, voltage and power
- Wide range of substrates available (metals, glass, ceramics)
- High watt densities, over 200 watts square inch
- Precision heating zones
- Hard, abrasion resistant, machinable coatings suitable for
industrial applications
- Fast response-intimately bonded thin coatings enable rapid heat transfer
rates into or out of substrates and loads
- Conformal, virtually any shape possible
