LOCTITE ECI1016

Main features

  • High-Speed Rotary Screen Printing
  • Low-Resistance Silver Conductive Traces
  • Two-Minute Hot-Air Drying

Product Description

LOCTITE ECI 1016 EC is a low-viscosity, silver-filled thermoplastic conductive ink for high-speed roll-to-roll rotary screen printing. The gray paste contains 68% solids and is formulated for printed antennas and conductive circuits on PET or paper. The recommended hot-air drying cycle is 2 minutes at 150 deg C. After drying, the ink has 5B cross-cut adhesion on untreated PET and sheet resistance of 0.0065 ohm/sq/25 um after 10 minutes at 150 deg C. The dried material has a maximum operating temperature of 105 deg C.

Key features

  • High-speed rotary printing: Low viscosity supports roll-to-roll rotary screen application.
  • Low-resistance silver traces: The dried film reaches 0.0065 ohm/sq/25 um under the documented condition.
  • Rapid hot-air drying: The recommended guideline cycle is 2 minutes at 150 deg C.

Applications

Applications include RFID antennas, printed antennas and conductive circuits on PET or paper.

Thixotropic index
Thixotropic Index is a ratio of a material s viscosity at two different speeds in Ambient temperature, generally different by a factor of ten. A thixotropic material s viscosity will decrease as agitation or pressure is increased. It indicates the capability of a material to hold its shape. Mayonnaise is a great example of this. It holds its shape very well, but when a shear stress is applied, the material easily spreads. It helps in choosing a material in accordance to the application, dispense method and viscosity of a material.

Viscosity
Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application
