NEOHEATER® refers to a range of flexible heating films designed to integrate a heating function directly into an industrial system. ADDEV Materials develops, transforms, and adapts these solutions for the Power & Mobility markets: energy, energy storage (BESS), automotive, rail, data centres, and industry. Each project is sized according to the active surface area, power, voltage, geometry, and integration constraints. ADDEV's converting capabilities allow for the delivery of ready-to-integrate formats: laminated film, cut part, or sub-assembly with connectors.
NEOHEATER® is based on printed, etched, metallic, or resistive heating architectures, depending on the selected range. The thermal function is integrated into a technical film or a suitable substrate, in order to generate homogeneous heat as close as possible to the area to be heated.
The range covers four technologies: NEO-RS for resistive polyimide films, NEO-FOIL For heating circuits on substrate, NEO-TRACK for printed or engraved conductive tracks, and Neo-Ch for transparent heating films based on metal mesh.
This approach reduces bulk, limits hotspots and facilitates integration into battery systems, technical modules, railway equipment, technical cabinets and cold-exposed industrial devices.
NEOHEATER® is selected when the application requires controlled temperature rise, fine integration, and homogeneous thermal distribution. The four criteria below allow for a quick assessment of the technology's suitability compared to silicone, PTC, or cartridge heaters.
Thin and flexible film — compact integration
Uniform heating — hotspot limitation
Bespoke design — tailored geometry and power
Rapid rise — target temperature in less than 1 min per design
ADDEV Materials offers four NEOHEATER® ranges corresponding to different heating architectures. The choice depends on the substrate, geometry, expected transparency, target power, and integration constraints.
| Range | Technology | Technical specifications | Main applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| NEO-RS | Flexible resistive polyimide film | Polyimide substrate 1 mil; conductive surface 100 ohm/sq; dielectric face ~1 × 10¹⁷ ohm/sq; breakdown voltage > 2,500 V | Heating of complex surfaces, cylindrical components, temperature maintenance |
| NEO-FOIL | Screen-printed resistive and conductive inks | Selectable substrate according to temperature, dimensions and flexibility; homogeneous heating; regulation by sensors possible | Batteries, technical modules, industrial modules, custom heating zones |
| NEO-TRACK | Printed or etched conductive tracks | Track-I (ink) or Track-E (etched) technology; compatible with PET, PEN, PI, PC, glass; specific design | Heated windows, heated seats, panels, automotive systems |
| Neo-Ch | Metal mesh transparent conductor | Network of fine metallic threads; optical transparency up to 89 %; permissible current limited depending on design | Heated transparent surfaces, screens, glazing, touch interfaces |
Thermal performance depends on the electrical design, the active surface, the substrate, the supply voltage and the thermal exchange conditions.
The values below correspond to the technical data provided for the NEOHEATER® ranges and must be validated according to the final design.
NEOHEATER® meets the needs for localised heating, temperature maintenance and the prevention of cold-related performance losses across the six Power & Mobility markets.
ADDEV Materials adapts NEOHEATER® solutions to production and integration constraints. The capabilities below are the three most structuring elements for delivering a heating film that can be used in series production: cutting, laminating, and connector integration.
ADDEV Materials combines materials expertise, conversion, and system integration to transform NEOHEATER® into an industrially viable solution:
