TAIYO SHEET is a unique material that infuses Japanese paper and its 1,300 year history with cutting-edge technology. It is easy to work with and extremely easy to introduce into any application. It is also very good at radiating far infrared radiation, meaning that it can efficiently heat the surrounding area for use in a variety of applications.
Major TAIYO SHEET features
Thin
Carbon fiber Japanese paper is 0.1mm thick, or 0.4mm thick in heating applications. Where you install it is up to you.
Lightweight
Carbon fiber Japanese paper is 40g/m2, or 500g/m2 for heating applications. Easy to install.
Easy to work with
It is extremely versatile, reducing the time needed from design to product.
Great at heat transfer
The curve until set temperature is almost linear. It heats up quickly.
Superior far infrared radiation performance
Far infrared radiation means your body will feel an overwhelming sense of warmth than the actual operating temperature.
High surface temperature
TAIYO SHEET can be engineered to a max. 300°C.
Low power consumption and power-on rate
It has a 30-45% power-on rate, which helps keep electric bills down.
Highly durable
Can withstand a load up to 400kg/cm2. Very safe for localized loading.
A new kind of surface heating element
Surface heating elements have been slowly evolving with incremental quality improvements.
With TAIYO SHEET, we have developed a product that uses a stable material while keeping power consumption down. The future is here. The main feature is that it will not degrade, no matter what.
Emissivity: 97% Radiates across the entire radiation range (5 – 15μm). Has great heat transfer efficiency to the human body, helping the body feel warm even when room temperatures are low.
◎
The curve until set temperature is almost linear. Features high radiation performance for extremely quick heat energy radiation and contact transmission.
◎
Structure-wise there are no parts of the heater element that can degrade, so the sheet will not degrade over time.
◎
Power-on rate is 25 – 45% for rated output.
◎
No inrush current is generated, so load on the controller or other circuits will never rise above rated levels.
◎
Does not generate any harmful electromagnetic waves.
○
Emissivity: 90 – 94%. Slight loss in the 5 – 15μm radiation range. Body will feel slightly warm even if the room temperature is low.
△
Electrical resistance rises in proportion to temperature increase, meaning that the temperature curve becomes more gradual and it takes time to heat as you close in on the set temperature.
△
The sheet repeatedly expands and contracts in response to temperature increases, so there is slight performance loss.
○
Power-on rate is 100%, but the increased electrical resistance accompanying increased temperatures means a lower amount of energy consumption.
×
A large inrush current generates a load on the controller, primary side breaker, etc.
◎
Does not generate any harmful electromagnetic waves.
×
The heater generates zero far infrared radiation. It only emits from the warmed floor. If the room temperature is low then it will accordingly feel cold.
○
The temperature will rise quickly since the curve until set temperature is mostly linear. However, because there is no far infrared radiation, the only heat transfer is through contact transmission.
△
After over 5,000 – 10,000 cumulative power-on hours, the performance drops to 80-90% of initial output. The performance drops more slowly after that.
×
Power-on rate is about 50%. However, rated output is high.
○
Rated output by area is relatively large, which creates a load on the circuit to some extent.
×
Electromagnetic wavelengths considered harmful to the human body are emitted from places where heat is generated.
