Application

Screen printing silver nano ink can be utilized as a precursor to produce conductive layers for electroluminescent displays. These displays are used in applications such as lighting panels, automotive displays, and signage. It can be used in studies such as flexible circuitry, sensors, touch panels, RFID antennas, and other electronic components.
This Smart’Ink S-CS21306 conductive silver ink is particularly well suited for applications requiring high conductivity and high resolution at very low curing temperatures. This ink, based on silver, is perfectly adapted to design conductive traces on flexible substrates. It is suitable for IoT applications such as antennas (HF, UHF).
Process: Rotary screen printing (below 80μm of resolution)

This ink has been developed to allow photonical curing to enable high throughput printing.
