Creative Materials, Inc., introduces 118-09C, Solvent-Resistant Electrically Conductive Ink. This product is a one-component pre-catalyzed solvent-resistant electrically conductive epoxy ink, coating and adhesive. Applications in touch screens, solar cells, electronic paper displays and flexible circuits, make this product extremely versatile.
Electronic Paper Displays and Flat-Screen Technology: Used for bus bars in touch screens, 118-09C has excellent adhesion to several transparent conductive oxides (TCO), including ITO (indium tin oxide), and can be screen-printed. Blended with compatible carbon inks, the conductivity level can be adjusted to fit cost-conscience applications where the high conductivity of pure silver is not needed.
Solar Cell Technology: Thin film photovoltaic technology is one of the emerging applications for 118-09C. Used to print grid lines on thin film solar cells, 118-09C has excellent adhesion to TCOs, offers exceptional flexibility, and can be used as a conductive adhesive to build solar arrays.
Printed Electronics Industry: A screen-printable ink, 118-09C is used to print circuit lines on printed circuit boards. Adhesion to ITO and plastic substrates, solvent-resistance, and low-temperature cure are among the characteristics that make 118-09C a superior product for these applications. 118-09C is also used in smart labels, EMI/RFI shielding, and RFID applications.
Other application areas include electrical attachments for surface-mounted devices and polymer thick-film circuitry. 118-09C is resistant to scratching and creasing and offers excellent adhesion to polyimide polymer film, polyester film, glass, polycarbonate, and other substrates. This product is also available as a two-component (118-09A/B) system.
