Creative Materials 118-43(LPS)
- Chemical Family
- Silver & Silver Compounds
118-43(LPS) is an extremely flexible, pad printable, electrically conductive ink, coating and adhesive suitable for application by pad printing, dipping and syringe dispensing. This product features excellent adhesion to Kapton, Mylar, glass and a variety of other surfaces. Unlike conventional conductive materials, this product is very resistant to flexing and creasing. Some applications for 118-43(LPS) include, but are not limited to, emi/rfi shielding of polyimide flexible circuits, polymer thick film circuitry, membrane switches, electrical attachments for surface mounted devices, and anode coatings for tantalum capacitors. 118-43(LPS) is a crosslinking version of 118-43T.\nFeatures

- Suggested Handling and Curing
118-43(LPS) is ready to use as supplied. Further thinning may be accomplished by adding small amounts of CMI thinners 113-39 (fast drying) or 127-27 (slow drying). Prior to using, be certain to re-suspend silver. Best properties, for most applications, result when cured for 5 – 10 minutes at 170°C. Good properties are obtained on a variety of substrates by dry and curing at temperatures ranging from 50°C to 180°C. End user is advised to experimentally determine temperature and time best suited for individual applications.
