CNT Flexible Heating System
How a carbon-nanotube film turns electricity into soft, even warmth — and how it fits into your product.

Heat generated across the whole surface
Carbon nanotubes form a conductive network inside a thin film. When current flows, the network’s resistance converts electrical energy into heat (Joule heating), spread across the surface rather than along a single wire.
- Planar warmthHeat comes from the full film area, supporting even temperature.
- Far-infrared emissionWarm surfaces radiate in the infrared range, felt as gentle, penetrating warmth.
- Low-voltage friendlySuited to battery-powered and wearable designs.
General engineering explanation.
A thin stack, each layer with a job
- Protective layerInsulates and protects the active film from moisture and wear.
- CNT heating layer & flexible electrodesEdge electrodes distribute current evenly into the carbon network.
- Flexible substrateA polymer base that lets the film bend with the product.
- Temperature feedbackAn NTC sensor reports temperature to the controller for regulation and over-temperature protection.

What we evaluate during qualification
- Heat distributionInfrared imaging checks surface uniformity and flags local hotspots.
- Electrical resistance & responseResistance is tuned to the product’s voltage and power target; warm-up depends on that configuration.
- Thickness & bending durabilityFilm thickness and bend-cycle performance vary by material build and are confirmed per specification.
FlexTherm publishes several configurations with different values. Request the data sheet and test reports for your specific build.

Shaped around your product
- Dimensions & shapesFilm cut to your outline, from compact pads to larger panels.
- Electrodes & connectorsElectrode layout, lead wires and connector type matched to your assembly.
- Control integrationNTC feedback, heat levels and protection logic aligned with your controller.
- Wearable applicationsBelts, wraps, pads and garments for heating and wellness use.
Cooling Technology
Absorbent, breathable textiles that cool through natural evaporation — developed for OEM/ODM wellness, sports and workwear products.
Passive cooling, powered by evaporation
Evaporative cooling materials are absorbent technical textiles. Once wetted, they hold water within the fibre structure and release it gradually as vapour. Turning liquid water into vapour draws heat away from the fabric surface, creating a cooling sensation without electricity, refrigerants or ice.
- Reactivated with waterSoak, wring and wear — re-wet to restart the cooling effect.
- Dry-to-touch comfortOpen, hollow-out structures aim to avoid a damp, clammy feel.
- Wearable applicationsScarves, sports accessories and protective cooling liners.

Intelligent Temperature Control
Smart Sensing. Flexible Control. Customizable Design.
Sensing that closes the loop
An NTC (negative temperature coefficient) thermistor changes resistance as it warms. The controller reads this change, compares it with the selected setting and adjusts power to the heating element.
- Resistance-based temperature feedback
- Setpoint comparison inside the control module
- Power regulated to the flexible heating element
Controller / connector pairing and electrical compatibility are confirmed per project against the supported hardware configuration.
Setpoint, feedback, protection
Users select a heat level; the controller targets that setpoint using NTC feedback, reducing power as the measured temperature approaches it.
- Overtemperature protection and auto shut-off timers can be specified where the hardware supports them
- Suitable levels depend on product design, skin contact, exposure time and sensor placement
Setpoints: Low 45 °C · Medium 50 °C · High 55 °C. Measured surface temperature varies with product design, insulation, ambient conditions and sensor placement.
