Metalon® Conductive Inks

Low-Temp Substrates Metalon conductive inks are designed specifically for use with low-temperature substrates including paper, polycarbonate, PET, and other plastics are available. Water -Based Metalon conductive inks are primarily water-based for ease of handling, clean-up, and for environmental consideration. Copper Thin-Film Metalon ICI copper-oxide reduction inks convert to copper thin-film upon processing with a PulseForge® tool in open air. Inexpensive Metalon ICI inks are as inexpensive as $75/kg in volume quantities. Silver Inkjet Metalon JS-series silver inkjet inks require processing with PulseForge tools. Silver Screen Inks Metalon HPS-series silver screen inks can cure with temperatures as low as 80C.

Metalon® conductive inks capitalize on advanced materials and formulation to provide conductivity options for additive manufacturing of printed electronics like photovoltaic devices, RFID, smart cards/labels, displays, and advanced packaging. Metalon inks with solderable, resistive, magnetic and stretchable conductive properties are also offered.
Utilizing nanoparticles and flakes, Metalon inks are available in off-the-shelf formulations as well as custom formulations for specific applications and print methods. Variants already developed include silver inks suitable for application by inkjet, screen, flexographic printing, and gravure. Copper-oxide reduction inks are also available for ink-jet, screen, flexographic, or gravure application. Metalon inks can be selected based on desired substrates, performance, and cost.
