ISOHEAT GmbH is a premier German manufacturer specializing in advanced electrical heating technology for laboratory and industrial applications. Headquartered in Ubstadt-Weiher, the company was founded in 2000 and has built a reputation for high-quality, engineered solutions that address complex thermal requirements. ISOHEAT’s mission is to provide "Quality and Competence" through precisely tailored heating systems, ranging from standard laboratory equipment to customized industrial solutions for hazardous areas. In 2024, the company became part of the ARBAnova Family Foundation, strengthening its position as an innovation leader in process heat. ISOHEAT is particularly recognized for its LabHEAT® brand, which emphasizes handmade precision and the use of high-grade materials like mineral-insulated cables and glass silk. Today, researchers and engineers in vacuum technology, environmental science, and chemical processing rely on ISOHEAT "Made in Germany" quality to ensure exact temperature maintenance and safe operation.
The ISOHEAT range at LabFriend features professional heating and cooling solutions, headlined by their signature LabHEAT® heating mantles for round-bottom flasks and reaction vessels. These products are traditionally handmade to ensure even heat distribution and a gentle fit for delicate glassware. For flexible temperature control, the brand provides advanced heating tapes and cables, including glass fibre-insulated and waterproof variants designed for pipes and complex geometries. Their portfolio also encompasses essential analytical measurement and testing support, featuring high-precision temperature controllers (KM-RX series) and sensors that provide stable regulation up to 1200°C. For bulk material handling, ISOHEAT offers specialized drum heaters and IBC heating jackets. By choosing ISOHEAT through LabFriend, you benefit from competitive pricing and fast shipping on German-engineered heating technology designed for maximum reliability and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the advantage of a metal-cased heating mantle over a standard glass-silk mantle?
Metal-cased mantles (series KM-M) provide greater stability and mechanical protection for the heating element. They are also easier to clean and better suited for environments where chemical spills are a risk.
2. Can ISOHEAT heating tapes be overlapped?
Generally, glass fibre-insulated heating tapes should not be overlapped as this can cause local overheating and damage the element. Always refer to the specific model's manual for installation guidelines.
3. Are ISOHEAT products suitable for use in Cleanrooms?
Yes, ISOHEAT offers specialized heating jackets and cables with low-particle emission materials that are suitable for use in cleanroom and vacuum environments common in semiconductor and pharmaceutical research.
4. How do I choose the right controller for my ISOHEAT mantle?
For simple applications, a power controller like the KM-L116 is sufficient. For precise temperature maintenance, a laboratory regulator like the KM-RX 1001 should be used in conjunction with a PT100 or NiCr-Ni temperature sensor.
