Functional inks and coatings are inks that may be printed with utilizing a variety of stiff and flexible surfaces, including: gravure printing, aerosol jet printing, and sheet-fed and roll-fed screen printing.
The type of ink and intended purpose of the final product influence the printing technique selection. Functional inks typically produce less waste than conventional processes.
Because using acid baths to etch copper from PCBs is necessary, whereas using functional inks as an additive method produces no waste and utilizes no hazardous chemicals.
Functional inks can be split into two groups: conductive and non-conductive. Let’s examine each in more detail to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of each.
The Global functional inks and coatings market accounted for $XX Billion in 2021 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2022 to 2030.
