Product Spotlight: Flexible, High Temperature, Electrically Conductive Inks

For many years, Creative Materials, Inc., has offered 102-32, a highly effective silver-filled conductive silicone adhesive, which has a very strong track record and is used in a variety of applications. In response to popular demand, we have now developed a variation of this product, a new screen-printable silicone conductive ink, 125-19, which has the potential to become one of our best-selling products!

Creative Materials introduces 125-19, Flexible High-Temperature Electrically Conductive Ink. This ink offers all the properties of typical silicone products, while also being screen-printable. The result is a more versatile ink that can be used in a wide variety of production modes and expanded range of applications. Like all silicone inks, 125-19 is highly flexible, resistant to high temperatures, and can be used with such substrates as Kapton®, Teflon®, and rubber surfaces. Formulated to be screen printed, 125-19 can also be syringe-dispensed, dipped, and sprayed and is ideal for use with ceramic, glass, and even silicone substrates. In addition, 125-19 offers an overall balance of peel strength, cohesion, lap shear strength, and high-temperature holding-power.

With lower viscosity and smaller particle size, an important feature of 125-19 is its screen-printing capability, which allows the substrate to be prepared for component placement in one pass, thus promoting ease of assembly. The many features of this product offer the promise of its increased use in the design and production of electrical assemblies. Applications of 125-19 include EMI/RFID shielding, polymer thick film circuitry, and electrical attachments for stress-sensitive devices.

Creative Materials offers a variety of silicone adhesives and ink systems, which are characterized by their unique combination of strength and flexibility, high-temperature resistance, and ease of use in assembly. They are fast-curing, highly conductive, very tough, and environmentally friendly. Silicone products offer excellent resistance to water, superb electrical insulation, and superior adhesion to glass, plastics, metals and rubber. Produced as a smooth paste, silicone products assure complete fill-in around complicated contours and provide excellent electrical conductivity as well as superior resistance to stress.
