Du Pont microcircuit materials (MCM) has introduced its latest screen printed silver conductor material for the printed electronics market. Utilizing proprietary technology and under typical processing conditions used for many printed electronic applications, Du Pont 5064H silver conductor ink provides resistivity less than or equal to six milliohms per square per mil, making it among the most conductive and cost-effective screen printed silver conductor material on the market today. Du Pont continues to expand its portfolio of functional inks and pastes for the growing printed electronics industry.

“Printed electronics manufacturers are looking for ways to do more with less material, and this new development is filling that critical need,” said Scott Gordon, Market Segment Manager – Du Pont MCM. “Du Pont 5064H can reduce silver cost by providing higher conductivity with thinner prints of conductor traces. Some of our customers with applications requiring high current, who previously required the conductivity achieved by a double print step, are now able to save the second print process step with a single print of 5064H and still achieve the desired conductivity”.

Du Pont 5064H can be printed onto a variety of substrates, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene-naphthalate (PEN), Du Pont Kapton polyimide films, paper, and more. The composition is solvent-based and was designed to be screen printed in semiautomatic or high volume reel-to-reel applications.
