Increasing usage of electronic products to bolster demand for conductive inks

 

Conductive Inks are a new development in the printing industry. These pigments are soluble in an aqueous solution, making them easy to use. The use of this ink promotes the use of conductive materials in areas where pigmentation is not applicable such as tattoos, handprints, and rubber designs. This type of ink can also be used to create flatbed items such as labels, envelope seals, and stamps.

Conductive Inks are widely used across the electronic industry as it has a number of advantages over other types of ink. Conductive inks are usually used for direct contact with electronic surfaces because they are difficult to smudge when a liquid passes over them. They also use a small amount of electrical current to power themselves; thus they are very safe.

One of the most important properties of these inks is their surface energy; it refers to the amount of surface tension that is present. With the use of this ink, one can use it to enhance physical aspects in areas where a slight sheen or shine is desired. They can be used for applications where the surface energy is less as well. The polarity of the ink determines the surface energy and this determines the kind of colors that will appear on the surface of the product.

Most conductive inks have a thickness that ranges between four and six nanometers. This type of ink is good for texturing surfaces because it allows it to adhere to the surface and to offer a smooth finish. It is able to provide a unique look to any Printed Structure and also has a smooth finish that looks similar to that of stainless steel. Since it has a thicker consistency, it is able to create fine lines and small irregularities that are common in traditional textured printing products.

When a layer of Conductive Inks is applied to a substrate, it becomes encapsulated. A substrate is any flat or non-porous surface, including plastic, wood, metal, fiberglass, ceramic, or synthetic material. The encapsulation process occurs at a thin molecular level. The surface energy of the encapsulated layer is the product of two forces acting on the substrate: the total surface area (which varies according to the thickness of the coating) and the surface tension of the substrate.
