High temperature electric heating tapes are built from premium resistance alloys such as Nichrome (NiCr 80/20) and Iron-Chromium-Aluminum (FeCrAl 0Cr23Al5 ). These alloys are selected for their exceptional resistance stability, oxidation resistance, and consistent performance under elevated temperatures. The insulation layer often includes fiberglass, silicone rubber, or fluoropolymer (PTFE/FEP) depending on the operating conditions. Some models are reinforced with stainless steel braids or mineral insulation for added mechanical strength and chemical resistance. This composition allows the heating tape to function efficiently in environments reaching up to 600°C, providing durable and safe heat transfer for industrial equipment and tanks.

Article: Reliable Heating for Modern Industrial Systems
In today’s fast-paced industrial world, maintaining consistent process temperatures is critical for safety, efficiency, and product quality. DLX’s high temperature electric heating tapes are designed to deliver dependable heating performance in the most demanding environments, from petrochemical plants to food processing facilities.
These heating tapes are built using advanced resistance alloys such as NiCr 80/20 and FeCrAl 0Cr23Al5, known for their high melting points and excellent oxidation resistance. They generate uniform heat, even over long distances, while maintaining low energy loss. The insulation layers — made from fiberglass, silicone rubber, or PTFE — provide superior flexibility and protection against environmental stress.
Unlike traditional rigid heaters or cable systems, DLX’s heating tapes are incredibly versatile. Their flexible construction allows them to wrap tightly around complex equipment surfaces such as tanks, valves, or curved pipelines. This ensures maximum contact and uniform heat transfer, which is essential for processes involving viscous or temperature-sensitive materials.
In industries like oil and gas, these tapes play a vital role in preventing paraffin buildup or freezing inside pipelines, ensuring smooth flow and preventing costly downtime. In chemical processing, they maintain the viscosity of liquids, enabling stable reactions and efficient production. For food and pharmaceutical industries, precise heat control ensures product integrity and safety.
The industrial heating market is evolving rapidly, with growing demand for energy-efficient, high-performance systems. DLX responds to this trend by integrating material science innovations and modern manufacturing technology into every product. Our heating tapes are engineered to reduce power consumption while maintaining consistent output, offering a reliable balance between efficiency and performance.
