FUNCTIONAL INKS AND PASTES

Various inks and pastes are needed for

functionalization of parts and components.

These include both commercially available

materials and internally developed inks

and pastes that we formulate to meet your

requirements. We utilize our extensive

technical and analytical resources for this

purpose. After the printing process, the

applied structures are thermally activated in

order to increase their electrical conductivity

and mechanical strength by removing any

organic parts, thus producing functionally

integrated components.
