EGO Thick Film metal core heating elements use insulated chrome steel or chrome nickel steel as base material. The high mechanical stability allows molding of the metal base as well as using insert technology for combination with plastic materials. EGO Thick Film metal core heating elements are suitable for applications with surface loads up to 50 W/cm². Appropriate heat dissipation by water or another medium is required.

Additionally to general characteristics of EGO Thick Film technology, the following advantages are offered by usage of EGO metal core heating elements:

• Moldability of the base material
• Mechanical stability of the base material
• Can be injected into plastic
