LOCTITE ECI1011 E&C

LOCTITE ECI 1011 E&C is a conductive silver ink that allows for increased design flexibility, cost reduction through lower ink consumption, and increased current carrying capacity. This rigid, highly conductive silver ink (±3-5 mOhm/sq/25um) can be used in SmartCard applications, flexible circuits, printed circuit boards, membrane switches and RFID. The rigidity can potentially become an issue if there's a lot of bending on large surfaces so you might also want to consider ECI 1010 which is more flexible but slightly less conductive.

LOCTITE ECI 1011 E&C highly conductive submicron silver ink is screen and flexo printable. The silver pigment is partly sintering, resulting in optimum sheet resistance for excellent current carrying capacity.

LOCTITE ECI 1011 E&C can lead to cost savings since its higher conductivity allows for thinner lines to be applied. Additionally it exhibits very low resistance allows high power generation in heating elements. Its small particle size allows application of fine structures and better resolution and its excellent flexo printing capabilities, result in very solid and highly conductive layers that can be printed in high speed. Finally it offer environmental stability with almost no resistance increase when exposed to higher temperatures or 85%RH/85˚C

Cure profile

Using Batch Processing

• 10 minutes @ 150°C (box oven)

Using roll-2-roll flexographic printing

• In-line NIR drying possible. Time and wattage needed needs to be determined experimentally on the production line.
• Photonic sintering possible after drying off the solvent.
