Zusammenfassung:An electric heater for heating a substance, in particular for a tank for a system for reducing the environmental pollution of a motor vehicle;the electric heater comprisinga metal sheet adapted to generate heat when it is crossed by an electric current;two polymeric layers between which the metal sheet is arranged;at least one PTC layer, having a positive temperature coefficient, which at least partially coats the metal sheet;wherein the two polymeric layers are hermetically sealed to each other, defining a casing which prevents the substance to be heated from coming into contact with the metal sheet;wherein said at least one PTC layer has a thickness from 5 to 50 μm;wherein said metal sheet is in contact, in particular directly in contact, with both the polymeric layers.
