Creative Materials 112-48A

112-48A is an electrically conductive ink/coating for application by screen-printing, dipping and syringe dispensing. The product features excellent adhesion to Kapton, Mylar, glass and a variety of other substrates. Unlike conventional conductive materials, this product is very resistant to abrasion, scratching, flexing and creasing. Some applications for 112–48A include, but are not limited to, emi/rfi shielding of polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, and membrane switches. 112-48A is a more flexible version of 112-48.

Suggested Handling & Curing

112-48A 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 fillers. Best properties, for most applications, result when cured for 3 to 5 minutes at 125°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
