  • This PTC heating element has, as an electrical insulating layer, a combination of a film and an electrically insulating mass with good thermal conductivity applied to it.

In such a case, it is only necessary to ensure that the film within the electrically insulating layer has good heat resistance. Furthermore, mechanical properties such as good tear resistance and the like are desired.
