FLYCOND grades and lines
Product description
FLYCOND inks print conductive and resistive layers on film and paper. Carbon and graphite inks form electrodes and resistive tracks; PTC inks form self-regulating heaters whose resistance rises with temperature, limiting their own power.
Product range
| Code | Ink | Uses |
|---|---|---|
| CD-CB | Carbon and graphite conductive ink | Electrodes, resistive tracks, touch and pressure sensors |
| CD-PT | PTC self-regulating heater ink | Seat, mirror and panel heaters |
| CD-AG | Silver ink (in development) | Busbars, antennas, circuits |
