Hot wire strip heaters are used for usually sealing two pieces of poly together to form a bag or band around an object. Due to the variable types of poly used and different manufactures specifications , one heat can not be used for all occasions. There is a thermostat that is added in line with the hot wire to control the temperature of the wire. This thermostat limits the heating of the wire so as to get the melting point of the poly just right. If a strip heating wire is left full on it will get red hot and usually burn itself up. Nickel chrome wire has a melting point of 1400 degrees C.

Why tungsten metal wire is not used in heater?
A heater does not get hot enough to benefit from the expense of using tungsten wire. Most heaters use either wire made of an alloy called nichrome or plated ceramic heating elements. Heaters generally operate at red or orange heat (i.e. 1409F to 1908F) and can use nichrome wire. Lightbulbs operate at white heat (i.e. greater than 2309F) and use tungsten wire, but tungsten is hard and expensive to make into wire compared to softer metals.
