An electrically conductive paint is combined with a non-conductive resin binder to create electrically conductive paint. The conductive filler acts as an electrical conductor, while the binder binds the paint together and provides adhesion.
When necessary, electrical charges briefly bounce between particles in the matrix as they pass through the conductive fillers. The fillers should be highly concentrated and in the form of tubes or flakes for this to work optimally. Spheres don’t have the best conductivity, but when combined with flakes, they can offer a smooth surface and better conductivity.
Beyond morphology, the main differences among fillers relate to their electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance, and cost. Conductive paints coloured with branching carbon powder, nickel flake, silver-coated copper flake, and silver flake are available from MG Chemicals.
The most economical filler, carbon, is suitable for grounding and RFI shielding applications. The best conductivity and shielding performance come from silver, particularly for high frequency EMI shielding applications.
Broad range EMI/RFI shielding is provided by both nickel and silver-coated copper. Higher frequencies are where Silver-Coated Copper thrives, but it does not have as good a corrosion resistance as the other colours. Systems for binding can differ substantially.
However, they do not have as much of an impact on the coating’s conductivity and shielding efficiency as the filler selection does.But they do have a bigger impact on how well the coating adheres, lasts, and resists chemicals.
The Global conductive paint market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
The advancement of materials and the industry for smart surfaces are transformed by C3Nano’s announcement of Activegrid room temperature curing conductive paint. It can also get excellent optical clarity.
The new room temperature curing paint opens up previously unimaginable new application opportunities for throwaway goods, consumer electronics, automobiles, packaging, and the life sciences that were either too expensive or difficult to bring to market commercially. The Activegrid LT (Low Temperature) Ink Series was created by C3Nano to fill a need in the market for conductive coatings on softer, temperature-sensitive substrates.
From high-volume, low-cost applications like food packaging and consumer electronics to complex bio-medical devices and applications, which frequently use biocompatible and highly engineered polymeric materials with maximum process temperatures below 50 °C, Activegrid LT enables new technologies, devices, and applications in potentially limitless markets.
The new Activegrid LT breakthrough from C3Nano is a component of the company’s conductive materials platform, which also includes formulations, thin films, coatings, nanowires, and nanomaterials. This technology and intellectual property (IP) portfolio is extensive and leads the market.
In addition to offering the best performing flexible and stretchable transparent conductive inks and the highest quality and largest scale silver nanowires, C3Nano now offers the lowest temperature and quickest curing conductive inks on the market.
“This development frees the imagination to create new connectivity-based technologies and smart surfaces. They want to revolutionise the ways in which new items, including IoT and smart gadgets, packaging, medical equipment, cars, walls, and, quite frankly, every surface, may now interact with consumers to offer them useful information, engaging content, or memorable brand experiences.
The new room-temperature curing conductive ink from C3Nano can significantly minimise the amount of manufacturing energy needed, lower costs, and enable less expensive processing, assisting in the broader commercialization of new smart surface applications.
The new curing technique addresses a key issue in bringing new innovative goods to market as major global brands and electronics manufacturers commit to operating processes that are more ESG conscious and committed to the environment and community.
C3Nano is looking for new clients and development partners as part of the introduction of Activegrid room temperature curing transparent conductive ink to enable new commercial applications that take advantage of the extremely exceptional and ground-breaking advantages of ambient temperature and processing time.
In order to facilitate prototyping for any individual or business project, Bare Conductive offers electrically conductive paint, hardware, and development kits.
When used in conjunction with the company’s sensor hardware, which is readily available for both the Arduino and Raspberry Pi platforms, electric paint is non-toxic, simple to use, and ideal for developing capacitive touch and proximity interfaces on virtually any material.
For all of its products, Bare Conductive offers comprehensive and free support, including tutorials, libraries, and tutorials with clear code examples. Bare Conductive has developed a strong community of both individual users and businesses using the technology to create their goods with the help of sophisticated and simple-to-use technologies.
The market has been divided into segments depending on type, including ceramic, metal, and polymer-based products. Due to the better electrical and mechanical properties given, the polymer-based conductive paint segment is anticipated to account for a sizably big market share throughout the projected period.
Conductive paint made from polymers is safe for the environment and doesn’t emit any harmful fumes. Over the course of the forecast period, it is anticipated that the ceramic-based conductive paint segment’s revenue would expand quickly.
The reason for this is an increase in demand for enhanced conductive paints with better characteristics. Because it has excellent electrical and mechanical qualities and may be utilised to create printed capacitive sensors, conductive paint is widely employed in printed electronics.
