Creative Materials 126-40 fine line ink and adhesive

Creative Materials introduces 126-40 — a flexible, solvent-resistant, electrically conductive, fine line ink and adhesive.

The electrically conductive adhesive has been optimised for a variety of application methods, including screen printing, stencilling and needle or jet dispensing for circuits with fine-line widths and spacing or small bond pads. It can be printed down to 50 µm-wide lines.

The ink has virtually no bleed and minimal spreading, tailing or stringing. It features good adhesion to a wide variety of substrates, including ITO-coated surfaces, polyimide, polyester, glass, polycarbonate and metallic circuit board finishes. It is resistant to aqueous and organic solvents, as well as to flexing, scratching and creasing.

Applications include touch screen bus bars, solar cell grid lines, EMI/RFI shielding of polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry and membrane switches.
