What does Durex sell?

Electric Heaters: The Custom Heat Source

Durex offers one of the most comprehensive selections of industrial electric heaters, specializing in custom designs for precise application requirements.

• Cartridge Heaters: High-watt density, swaged-design heaters known for long service life. They are often custom designed for precision insertion into molds, dies, and platens.
• Flexible Heaters: Lightweight, thin, and highly versatile, these heaters conform to complex shapes and surfaces. They are manufactured using materials like Silicone Rubber and Polyimide (Kapton), making them ideal for space-constrained or weight-sensitive applications (e.g., aerospace and medical devices).
• Process Heaters: Robust assemblies designed to heat liquids, gases, and air in large industrial applications. This category includes Immersion Heaters (screw plug, flange), Circulation Heaters, and Process Air Heaters.

Temperature Sensors: Precision Measurement

The heater is only as good as the measurement controlling it. Durex is a dedicated sensor manufacturer, providing high-quality instruments essential for process control.

• Resistance Temperature Detectors (RTDs): Used for precise, repeatable temperature sensing.
• Thermocouples: Durable and widely used across a massive temperature range, including mineral-insulated and general-purpose assemblies.
• Thermistors and IC Sensors: Components designed for specific temperature ranges and control requirements.

Control Systems & Assemblies

To deliver complete thermal solutions, Durex also designs and manufactures control panels and heating systems, offering turnkey solutions that integrate their heaters and sensors for a single-source thermal management package.

What Makes Durex Unique?

In the world of industrial manufacturing and high-tech equipment, precision temperature control is not just a feature—it’s the critical core of the operation. When an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or process engineer needs a heating, sensing, or control solution, they often turn to the experts who can design components from the ground up: Durex Industries.

Unlike commodity suppliers, Durex positions itself as a true design partner. They are built to address difficult thermal challenges in highly specialized industries, ensuring that equipment not only meets minimum standards but achieves optimal performance and longevity. Their decades of expertise allow them to serve diverse markets, from aerospace and defense to medical devices, food service, plastics processing, and crucial semiconductor manufacturing.
