ICI-002HV is an aqueous, copper oxide-based ink which is transformed post-printing into a metallic copper thin film after it is processed with PulseForge® tools. It is designed to produce conductive traces on both porous and non-porous, low-temperature substrates. ICI-002HV is specially formulated for compatibility and stability with higher-loading inkjet systems such as those from Xaar and Dimatix. A printing waveform for Dimatix DMP heads is available. Metalon ICI-002HV produces, after printing and curing, conductive, metallic copper traces with electrical resistivities as low as 1.7× bulk Cu resistivity. ICI-002HV MUST be processed with PulseForge® tools from NovaCentrix® to attain the stated resistivity values. Thermal curing is not applicable. Printed traces of ICI-002HV are not conductive prior to processing with PulseForge® tools. |
