Creative Materials 125-13

125-13 is an electrically conductive ink and coating suitable for application by screen printing, dipping and syringe dispensing. . Unlike conventional conductive materials, 125-13 is capable of being printed at very fine line widths and spaces. This product features excellent adhesion to Kapton, Mylar, ITO sputtered surfaces, glass and a variety of other surfaces. This product is very resistant to flexing and creasing. Some applications for 125-13 include, but are not limited to, EMI/RFI shielding of polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, and membrane switches.

Suggested Handling & Curing

125-13 is ready to use as supplied. Further thinning may be accomplished by adding small amounts of thinner CMI# 120-08. Prior to using, be certain to resuspend silver. Best properties, for most applications, result when cured for several minutes at 170°C to 180°C. Good properties are obtained on a variety of substrates by dry and curing at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 150°C. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications.
