New Uses for Conductive Inks Compositions

The market sector dedicated to developing new and emerging technologies for conductive inks covers the gamut of innovative ink compositions ranging from Force Sensing Resistors (FSR) and EMI Shielding, to Transparent Conductors, Photovoltaics (PV) and beyond.

Photovoltaic cells are used to convert solar energy to direct current electricity. With the increased demand for sustainable and renewable energy, the PV cell market stores potential, conductive inks can be used on flexible and rigid substrates for grid line applications in thin film and photovoltaics.

Our recommended conductive ink offerings for solar cell printed busbars include:

 Silver Inks:

  • ED-461SS
  • ECI 1006 (fine line printing; low contact resistance)

Carbon Inks:

  • ED-440B
  • ED-965 (Halogen free)

Dielectric Inks:

  • PD-038
  • PF-021
