Electric Paint 10ml

Product Information

The scope of potential expands when conductive materials are delivered in a medium as flexible as paint – it has changed the entire idea of circuitry and how it can be used. Electric Paint adheres to a wide variety of substrates and can be applied using screen printing equipment. Our extensive range has over 28,000 products, which are constantly tried and tested by our in-house experts, teachers, and artists.

Silver-Coated-Copper excels at higher frequencies, but does not resist corrosion as well as the other pigments. Although you may not have heard the term, chances are you use this technology on a daily basis as capacitive sensing is the technology used on smartphone screens to detect touch. Printed sensors can also be adjusted and tuned, so it’s possible to turn them into proximity sensors to detect objects at a distance, from behind a substrate or to trigger outputs from afar. Transform everyday materials into touch interfaces and smart surfaces with Bare Conductive Electric Paint. It can be applied onto most non-conductive materials with a brush, roller, sprayer, stencil or by screen printing.

These include flexography, rotogravure, screen printing, spraying, dipping, syringe dispensing, and stencil printing. Depending on the use-case, we can select from a multitude of conductive inks to transform ordinary surfaces into smart ones.

The current is distributed through conductive paint by jumping from one nanoparticle to the other, meaning that these particles need to be packed very tightly to provide bridges for the transmittance of charges. This resin has a resistance that is greater when the surface is longer and there is less material on the surface. It can be painted to create circuits, as seen in the Electric Paint Circuit Kit, or as a conductive coating for shielding, as seen with EMI shielding in guitars. Ok, the title above is being a bit on the mean side, however when fully cured, a one inch bead of the product has a resistance of approx 170 ohms but this isn't linear, i. Our Conductive Ink (hi-grade) may be a suitable substitute and the ink to this product can be found in the ‘Related Products’ below.

It is important to test the application process and the resistance of the surface in a controlled environment. the one that not working look like it an issues with the main board can see a bit of damage will try and paint the damaged line back but it very fine. Cold soldering is a great alternative to using a soldering iron and all you need is the Electric Paint 10ml tube! The Touch Board, Pi Cap, and our development kits offer an easy entry point for exploring capacitive sensing and the potential of printed electronics in the built environment. When applied in a thin layer, by screen printing onto paper or textiles, Electric Paint is flexible and allows for a degree of bend.

It can simply be painted onto the item you wish to electroform, and if the item is non-absorbent (for example if it’s made of plastic or shell), it doesn’t need a key layer of our Dipping Lacquer. Conductive Paint can also be sprayed on through an airbrush, once it has been thinned with our Thinners for Conductive Paint.The application with a spray gun allows the surface to be coated evenly for a greater level of conductivity.

It’s generally accepted that paint is a material that is sprayed or brushed onto a surface and ink is a material which is printed onto a surface.

It can be applied like any other water-based paint using a paintbrush, and screen printed to create precise designs and patterns. We’re obsessed with the capabilities of these materials and wanted to share our knowledge so that you can start bringing this unique set of capabilities into your projects and products. When creating sensors, the design, pattern, and shape of how Electric Paint is applied are as important as the material itself, as these factors impact the sensor’s performance. At Bare Conductive we see that the audience for Electric Paint remains primarily in the realm of individual consumers, however, the technology stack we have developed serves a much wider market.
