(ELP = Epoxy Laminated Panel)

Patented flat foil resistive elements are laminated by heat and pressure in a multi-layer fiberglass construction with epoxy resin. The produced heater is a semi-flexible panel, waterproof and durable.

The Epoxy Laminated Panel is the most versatile tank heater available. 
Possessing unique flexibility, ELP heating panels can be used in a variety of heating applications spanning from freeze protection to process heating with withstand temperatures ranging from -40�F to +250�F.

Its unique epoxy-fiberglass construction utilizes foil resistance elements that are synonymous with our proven range of products.  The low watt density of this heating panel, together with its low mass, provide unequaled thermodynamic performance.

ELP heating panels can be used on either vertical or horizontal tanks with
diameters of 24" and above, either metallic or non-metallic construction.  They can be used in dry, wet or corrosive environments.

ELP panels are available in nine standard designs for 120/240volts (see chart below).  They are quick and easy to install and require no special tools or skills.  Heaters are usually installed by banding them to the tank with metal bands or polyester straps, which takes only a matter of minutes.  After installing the heating panels, adhesive aluminum tape should be applied to the edges of the
heaters acting as a seal.  This will prevent thermal insulation becoming trapped between the heating panels and the tank.

To comply with the NEC 427.23 all heaters are supplied with an overall ground. 

The Hotfoil type ELP heating panel is currently under review by Factory Mutual (FM) for applications involving hazardous environments.  If a hazardous area (FM) approved tank heater is needed, please visit our FRP tank heating panel page.

FRP heating panels are fiberglass laminates that are available in three
standard sizes pre-molded to a general curvature.  Standard voltages include 120 or 240volt but the panels can be manufactured to any practical voltage and are constant wattage.

The panel is a robust, completely waterproof, safe and reliable method of
providing heat to new or existing storage tanks.  This unique Factory Mutual Approved (FM) heater can be used on indoor and outdoor applications in
hazardous, non-hazardous and highly corrosive environments.

FRP panels are quick and simple to install, requiring no special tools or skills.  Positioning is achieved by simply banding the heating panels to the tank. 
Installation of several heating panels takes only a few minutes to accomplish.
