Creative Materials 126-33

126-33 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, 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 or thinner coatings without compromising overall maximum ohm values. The proper use of this feature can result in a significant cost saving or enhanced performance. Unlike conventional conductive materials, this product is resistant to aggressive solvents such as MEK and acetone. Some applications for 126-33 include, but are not limited to, RFID antennae, emi/rfi shielding of polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, and membrane switches

Suggested Handling & Curing

126-33 is ready to use as supplied. Further thinning may be accomplished by adding small amounts of CMI thinner 102-03 or Isophorone. Prior to use, be certain to mix well to re-suspend silver. Best properties for most applications result when cured for 3 to 5 minutes at 175°C. Excellent properties are also obtained on a variety of substrates by curing at temperatures ranging from 110°C to 180°C. Not recommended for applications that cannot cure above 110°C. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications.
