XiCA sublimates the stability of heating films to global standards.
XiCA heating film is the cutting edge infrared surface phase heating element which is consisted of anti-flammable and insulated carbon on the base film and silver paste which is printed by gravure coating two layer printing method and also copper bus bar which activates the electrodes and all of them are treated by laminating in PET film.
XiCA Heating film is made by precise printing method of producing 3 to 6 micrometer of coated carbon which is heat treated on the PET film above 150℃ and it can be used semi permanently if not cut intentionally by scissors.
The heating film can be used for almost semi-permanent in ceiling, wall, floor thanks to outer PET special material (anti-flammable, insulated) and also by treatment that has been specially water proof treated so that it may not be in contact with air.
You can feel warmth of sunshine by the radiation of far infrared ray from the carbon heating element spread on the film unlike other general heaters.,Also it spreads out anions which has function of deodorization and repress the expansion of germs resulting in healthy and clean heating environment.
XiCA heating film spreads out heat uniformly, very strong against impact, water and dust proof and has various designs making it a unique product and has upgraded the quality of the local market for the heating film industry.
XiCA Formation
Capability for heating film is determined by dispersion technology of Nano-particle by viscosity and resistance by Carbon and Silver particles.
Straight Type Silver Bus Bar Merit
The merit of structure of this type is even though the surface contact area of the silver busbar and copper strip is less it is a structure that carbon and copper strip cannot meet so that it can prevent spark as well as reduce the production cost due to less printing area.
The disadvantage of this type is that the silver busbar has a high resistance in proportion to the printing area, so it is difficult to conduct electric energy. Therefore, when the cold winter temperature is low, the amount of current passing through is small, so the amount of heat that feels warm is also reduced.

Comparison for Air layer of heating film to prevent spark
XiCA pursues the best technology and quality stabilization.
Spark of heating film can be occurred by various factors. The most of them are caused by air layer between copper bus bar and base film. Therefore, the most important for the laminating equipment and technology for heating film is to remove air layer during manufacture of the heating film.

Monthly usage is based on the standard which in a heating area of 33 sqm for 8 hours per day for 30 days (assuming general electricity is used). Heating film and electric ondol panel are not included in the basic price. Monthly usage of LPG, kerosene boiler, etc. may vary slightly depending on the thermal efficiency of the insulation and equipment used in the building.
Regarding dipolar changes by vibration and rotation, most of electron transitions requires the energy of visible rays and infrared rays spectrum and infrared rays occur primarily only in the molecules which have significant difference in the energy among several vibrations and rotations.
So, to absorb or emit infrared radiant rays, the relevant molecule should change dipolar moment by vibration and rotation. If radiating infrared rays with the same wave length to the molecule, the energy of infrared rays is absorbed into the molecule, and by resonance, the molecule or its molecule group are becomes excited. And then, the infrared rays of the wavelengths with the inconsistent number of molecular vibrations transmit or reflect the molecule
In these conditions, the electric field of radiant rays is interactive with molecules and can cause changes in the molecular vibration and rotation. If the number of radiant ray vibrations agrees with that of natural molecular vibrations, energy transfer occurs and the amplitude of molecular vibration changes. As a result, radiant rays are absorbed or emitted. Similarly, if asymmetric molecules rotate around the center of mass, cyclic dipolar changes appear followed by interaction with radiant rays.

Anion
Anion effect?
There are several phases of slightly electric corpuscles ions floating in the air. Some of them, corpuscles charged with negative electricity are called minus ions and ones with positive electricity plus ions. Anion is defined as mic particles characterized by plus and minus electricity charged to a certain atom and atom-group molecule, in other words, "electric particle"
How does anion effect to health
Dr. Krueger in California, USA and Dr. Sulman, Hebrew University, Jerusalem reported that quantity of anion greatly affect patient's health and remedy. Once anion exist by over 1,000 pcs / cc of air, brain activities α-wave and α-wave relieves anxiety and tension which cause asthma, migraine and it has an effect on mental motion performance capability and relief of tension by restraining Nerve Hormone such as Serotonin & Free Histamine which cause respiratory disease and have the body and mind a great refreshment by the function which serves to clean the blood and helps the function of respiratory immunological system as a alkalization process by rising ionization rate for mineral components of blood.
The principle and effect of anion generation
Corona discharge (dipolar discharge: air cleaner)
Leonard type (water dissociation: waterfall effect, atomizing electrification, air cleaner)
Corpuscular radiation type (unipolar discharge: air activator, molecular electrification between water and oil
Electrostatic induction type (minus potential addition, potential therapeutic devices, frictional resistance of previous metal alloy)
Photo catalyst type (metals, titanium oxide, etc.)
Radioactive substances (radon, radium, spring minerals, etc.)
Tourmaline (tourmaline, crystal, amber, etc.)
Natural minerals (magnetite, elven, feldspar, etc.)
Coal (charcoal, fruit coal, crop coal, etc.)
Mineral materials (coral, shellfish, fossil, diatomite, clay, etc.)
Effects of Anion
A large quantity of anions exist around the forest, waterfall, grassland, fountain in park and beach. When exposed to nature like this, we feel refreshed and relaxed. Anions inhibit excessive generation of harmful free radicals in the cell as well as the oxidation of cell (reduction) by affording their own electrons to the free radicals.(They promote health-maintaining activity). Anion has the effect of blood conversion-converts the acidified blood into mildly alkaline blood. (They stimulate metabolism, activate the function of each cell and promote fatigue relief.)
As the functions of autonomic nerves are improved, the functions of the endocrine gland also get better. Consequently, anions affect positively the central and peripheral nervous systems, improving hematogenous functions. (Higher resistance leads to the stronger defensive functions and better balance of the body, and to the lower incidence of disease.) Anions have positive influence upon the fluids, cells and nervous systems, improve the functions of all the organs and tissues and regulate the balance of the autonomic nervous system and the endocrine system. By virtue of their anti-oxidative deodorizing and antibacterial effects, anions are known available for keeping fishes or flowers fresh. Anions are a kind of vitamins in air.
The principal of Heating Film
3 factors of Heat : Radiation, Convection, Conduction
XiCA heating film using 3 factors of heat (Radiation, Convection, and Conduction) can make the best heating condition in warm and fresh
Radiation
Convection current
Conduction current
Radiation
It means the condition that heat tries to move outward. So, if you stay next to heater, you can feel warm because the heat of heater comes out. The sand is hotter in hot summer time, because the sand heated by the sun is hotter and the heat tries to come outward. But, it does not radiate in forest or grass. So, a forest is cooler.
Convection current
Heat always moves for balancing cold and hot. So, as hot air is going up and cold air is going down, it is called convection. It is same for metal. For example, there is 1M of a metal stick. If we put the metal stick in cold water and heat it by about 10cm of burner, there is the phenomenon that hot temperature and cold temperature exchange each other for balance in the stick even if we cannot see it. It is called "Convection".
Conduction current
It means the moving speed of heat in the certain object. Metal has better heat conduction than stone and water and copper, Albata and etc. have much better heat conduction than other metals. It is the moving speed of heat.
