Abstract (en)

[origin: EP3711536A1] A heater (223) for a heat not burn device, comprising a rod portion with a heating track (227) located thereon and a coating (232) formed from silica. The coating forms an external surface of a portion of the heater for heating tobacco in a consumable for engagement with the device. By providing a heater for a heat not burn device comprising a coating formed from silica, deposition of residues on the heater can be avoided or minimized. Reduction in deposition of residue may result in cleaner system requiring less downtime for cleaning, reduction in burnt odour from the device, thus improving overall user experience with the heat not burn device. Further, reduction in deposition of residues on the heater may also provide for improvement in performance and/or life of the heater by protecting the heating element.
