Graphene Heating Film

Bring surface heating into your product with standard or custom film modules. XIHE helps match the heating footprint, electrical connections and protective stack to your assembly, starting from an existing sample or your product drawing.

Engineering structure

See the component before defining the specification.

This exploded view shows how the PI encapsulation, graphene heating layer and copper electrode pattern relate to the flexible film assembly and its electrical connections.

The drawing explains the supplied sample's structure. Final geometry, heating zones, terminals and layer construction are agreed for each OEM program.

01 · Primary component reference

Surface heating, designed into your product.

Graphene heating film uses a conductive functional layer to convert electrical energy into heat over a defined surface. The heating element is one part of the finished assembly, alongside its power supply, temperature sensing, controls and protective materials.

Start with the space available in your product and the surface you need to heat. Film geometry, electrode layout, substrate and protection must work together with the surrounding materials and the available electrical input.

The integration work addresses the warmth your customer actually feels: cover materials, insulation, mounting pressure and edge heat loss all affect the contact surface. XIHE works with your team on the heating pattern and layer stack, then evaluates the assembled configuration against your temperature-distribution target.

Product fit

Explore integration requirements for wearable devices, personal-care electronics, sports products and residential products. Suitability depends on the heating location, assembly and validation requirements of the specific design.

Value for your product

What the integration helps you achieve.

Connect material selection to the product improvement and manufacturing decision that matter to your team.

Heating coverage that fits

Shape the active layer around the area that needs warmth, with space for seams, openings and connections. Distributed surface heating gives your team a way to address concentrated hot regions and cold edges through the film pattern and surrounding layers.

A product upgrade with less bulk

Integrate a flexible heating layer into a textile stack, lining or panel rather than adding a separate heating appliance. Choose cloth, PI or PET construction around the available space, curvature and processing conditions.

An existing starting point for OEM

Evaluate a standard film module, the existing eye-mask sample or the batch-produced Capsule before defining custom changes. XIHE supports film geometry, electrodes, connections and protective construction; agree the included wiring, sensing and controls with the supplied assembly.

02 · Architecture

Film architecture.

The substrate provides support, the printed layer generates heat, electrodes distribute power and encapsulation protects the assembly.

Substrate
Carries the functional layer and defines the mechanical base.
Graphene Functional Layer
Printed conductive layer that generates distributed heat.
Electrodes
Deliver electrical input into the functional layer.
Protective / Lamination Layer
Defines insulation, assembly and environmental boundary.

Supply and sample selection

Start with what XIHE already provides.

Choose the supply format that fits your team, then agree the configuration for evaluation.

Supply route or referenceWhat you can evaluate
Standard-dimension film modulesExisting heating-film modules for integration into your own product. Begin with a sample and match the active area, connections and power supply to your assembly.
Custom-dimension film modulesComponent supply in custom dimensions, with technical integration documentation and engineer-to-engineer support. Agree the footprint, terminals and protective construction for the order.
Eye-mask integration referenceAn existing eye-mask sample for discussing compact textile integration. Review its heating footprint, electrical interface, surrounding layers, sensing and controls as a sample-specific configuration.
