NuriVista Develops High-Temperature Film Heater for Process Piping Using CNT and Graphene

Nurivista, a specialized nanomaterials company, has completed the development of a high-temperature, heat-resistant eco-friendly film heater, a component used in semiconductor, display, and solar cell manufacturing processes, and has begun commercialization.

On the 1st, Nurivista announced that in collaboration with Nuriflex and Hisis, they developed a high-temperature film heater capable of operating up to 250℃, reducing power consumption by up to 30% using nanotechnology.

The film heater can be applied to pipes and clamps in semiconductor, display, and solar cell processes. Although many companies have attempted to develop heating clamps with film heaters, there have been no actual cases of successful development. The development of a heat-resistant film heater marks a significant step as Nurivista is making a full-scale entry into the heating clamp market.

The heating clamp developed through the cooperation of the three companies has completed reliability verification through a six-month long-term reliability evaluation by a nationally accredited institution. Moving forward, they plan to conduct process demonstration tests with client companies and engage in aggressive sales activities, including participation in domestic and international exhibitions.

Holding patents and dispersion technologies for graphene and CNT, Nurivista succeeded in manufacturing a heat-resistant film heater using carbon nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes (CNT) and graphene.

Through proprietary dispersion technology, film heater manufacturing technology, and the development of elemental technologies for various materials, Nurivista developed a high-temperature reliable heater, securing technology applicable not only to clamp heaters but also across various industries. The film heater developed by Nurivista is evaluated to have over 30% higher energy efficiency compared to conventional wire heaters. They are pursuing business diversification not only in the display process component market but also in the automotive and home appliance markets.

Using heating clamps minimizes pipe blockages and reduces maintenance costs, offering the advantage of stable process operation. As a key component that fastens flanges, the connection structures of pipes transporting various fluids, this innovative technology is expected to gain attention by integrating Hisis’s patented and processing technologies, Nurivista’s heat-resistant film heater manufacturing technology, and Nuriflex’s control and monitoring system technologies.

Nuriflex, the parent company of Nurivista, developed a controller device that maintains a constant temperature for the heating clamp by sensing temperature and controlling power. In addition to temperature control and monitoring functions, it features leakage current monitoring and alarm functions to reinforce the weaknesses of the heating element. To operate and control the heating clamp stably, a high-spec communication platform technology is applied, and plans include building a compact controller equipped with security functions and a multi-channel monitoring system.

Nurivista, in partnership with Nuriflex, plans to supply a monitoring software platform equipped with AI-based machine learning functions that predict pipe blockages caused by temperature changes by stably operating and controlling heating clamps using communication, security, and AI technologies.
