Electrically Conductive Materials for Pad Printing
Now Available from Creative Materials Inc.
Applications include medical device and electronics
manufacturing
Tyngsboro,
MA, February 24, 2005 - Creative Materials Inc., a leading
manufacturer of electrically conductive inks, coatings and adhesives,
has announced the availability of new electrically conductive
materials for use in pad printing applications. Pad printing
is an innovative printing technology that makes it possible to
print on curved, uneven or recessed surfaces, while producing
a high quality ink transfer.
Asked why pad printing was better, Silvio Morano, President of
Creative Materials explained, “Pad printing has been around
for a long time, and was used primarily for decorative purposes;
for instance, logos on bottle caps or labels on golf balls. This
flexible printing process allows you to go around corners, into
concave surfaces, or to print on convex surfaces.”
“With our products, you can now put an electrical circuit
on many 3-D objects, not just circuit boards,” said Morano. “With
pad printing, our customers can print finer lines at closer tolerances
and with closer gaps between the lines. We’ve been able to
do 4 mil (0.1 mm) lines with 4 mil (0.1 mm) spaces. So if somebody
is developing a unique electronic device, perhaps something very
compact, they are no longer limited by the need to have flat circuit
board. They could print a circuit on a tube or a curved surface
that fits more compactly into their device.”
Creative Materials makes a wide variety of electrically conductive
inks for multiple applications. Some can be pad printed. Some inks
are available in multiple formats for screen printing, pad printing,
syringe dispensing, stenciling, or rotogravure printing (flexography).
“The thing that separates us from our competitors and makes
us different is our customer service and our custom formulations.
We have the unique ability to tailor our materials to meet the
specific needs of the customer and we are able to provide technical
support for a new application,” said Morano. “We have
a broad base of existing materials that cover multiple applications
and manufacturing techniques.”
