Conductive Inks for Printed Electronics

One of the broadest, most diverse market spaces for conductive ink use involves printed electronics. The ability to manufacture flexible circuits or change form factor through the printing process, makes printed electronics an ideal target application for conductive inks.

Henkel conductive inks for printed electronics from Tekra offer a wide selection of inks formulated for specific applications, cure requirements and base substrates. Some of the latest technology for printed electronics ink in this evolving industry, incorporates newer functionality for membrane switches, full travel keyboards, and other advanced flexible electronics user interfaces.

Below, you will find some of our recommended product suggestions to support your printed electronics project requirements:

Silver Inks:

  • ECI 1010
  • EDAG-479SS (Halogen Free)
  • EDAG-725A (6S-54)

Carbon Inks:
