Creative Materials 112-15A

112-15A is an ink/coating with extremely high electrical conductivity for application by screenprinting, dipping and syringe dispensing. The product features excellent adhesion to Kapton®, Mylar®, glass and a variety of other substrates. The superior conductivity of this product allows the end user to print narrower and/or longer circuit trace lines without compromising overall maximum ohm values. The proper use of this feature can result in a significant cost saving. Unlike conventional conductive materials, this product is very resistant to abrasion, scratching, flexing and creasing. Some applications for 112–15A include, but are not limited to, emi/rfi shielding of polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, membrane switches and coatings for tantalum capacitors. 112-15A is a lower viscosity version of 112-15.

Suggested Handling & Curing

112-15A is ready to use as supplied. Further thinning may be accomplished by adding small amounts of CMI thinner #112-18, #112-19 and/or #105-36. Prior to use, be certain to mix well to resuspend silver. Best properties, for most applications, result when cured for 3 to 5 minutes at 110°C. Excellent properties are also obtained on a variety of substrates by curing at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 175°C. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications
