Conductive Inks
The electrical performance of the ink depends on which particular
ink is used, based on the requirements of the application. We can
offer screen-printable and pad-printable inks, with sheet resistivity
as low as 0.0l ohms/square per mil (0.00l”) of thickness
and as high as 1meg(million) ohms/square/mil. We have inks for a variety of different printing processes, including screen-printing, pad-printing and flexographic printing. Typically screen-printing or pad-printing is used for the printing of circuits, membrane switches, flexible heaters and medical electrodes. Pad-printing is especially useful in applying material to contoured or uneven surfaces. Flexograhic printing is used for all of the applications listed above, but with higher volumes. The printing accuracy will depend on the printing technique as well as experience of the printer. The costing of inks is volume sensitive, pricing is by the gram and the cost is lower per gram, for large volumes. When asking for a quote, please give an estimate of volume usage. |
Creative
Materials, Inc. makes numerous electrically conductive silver and
carbon filled inks for the electronics and medical industries.
Different applications require different inks. To help our potential
customers select the appropriate ink for their applications, we
gather pertinent information about the nature of a specific application;
i.e., requirements of temperature, flexibility, and conductivity
as well as method of application.
