What They Say

“Utilizing nanoparticles and flakes, Metalon inks are formulated for specific applications and print methods. Variants already developed include silver inks suitable for application by inkjet, flexographic printing, and gravure. True copper inks are also available for flexographic or gravure application. In conjunction with the Photonic Curing™ technology also from NovaCentrix, these inks can be applied to substrates such as plastic films, and even paper. The Photonic Curing process uses brief, extremely high-powered pulses of light from special custom lamps to sinter inorganic inks and films, including Metalon inks, at room temperature. The combination of Metalon and PCS allows conductivity requirements to be met using thin flexible substrates, and most substrates remain unaffected because of the very short pulse duration. — JS-011 An inkjettable, aqueous, nano-silver ink specially formulated for porous paper substrates. JS-011 absorbs into the paper and becomes highly conductive as it dries. Additional curing with thermal or Photonic Curing™ equipment will further increase conductivity. FS-066 /FS-067A stretchable, nano-silver, solvent based ink that retains conductivity with up to 100% elongation. This ink was formulated for polyethylene film, and is also compatible with other plastic substrates. FS-066 is formulated for spray deposition, and FS-067 is for gravure deposition.”
