3D-ADD EK1 is our Electrically Conductive additive for 3D printing high conductivity materials for electronics e.g. antennas for IoT applications (HF, UHF), RFID and NFC tags, OLED, OPVs, flexible PCBs, flexible cables, etc...
It is a metallic beige paste which provides high conductivity to our 3Dresyns, after post curing them at relatively low sintering/curing temperatures. Typical values of 3D-ADD EK1:
- sintering/curing T=120-200ºC (the higher the sintering temperature the lower the resistivity) for 5-10 minutes after 3D printing
- Resistivity <30 μΩ·cm or microohm centimeter (or 30×10−8 Ω·m) when used in dip coatings
- Resistivity will increase proportionally to its dilution in 3D resins up to 10−2 -10+13 Ω·m*
Features of 3D-ADD EK1*:
- excellent compatibility with most SLA DLP and LCD 3Dresins
- excellent conductivity with our conductive binders: 3Dresyn SEK1 and 3Dresyn NSEK1
- dosage of 3D ADD EK1 can be adjusted to wish
- excellent conductivity with Resistivity <30 microohm centimeter when used pure or diluted with our Conductive Thinner CT1 (included and supplied with 3D-ADD EK1) by dip coatings
- ideal for dipping 3D prints in 3D-ADD EK1 for cost effectiveness since 3D-ADD EK1 will be on the surface of the 3D printed device.
- adjust the viscosity of 3D-ADD- EK1 with our Conductive Thinner CT1 to control the rheology and the thickness of the 3D-ADD EK1 to wish when dipping the 3D printed parts inside it
- 3D-ADD EK1 has excellent adhesion on the surface of most 3Dresyns
- high conductivity when used in dip coatings: Resistivity <30 microohm centimeter
- low sintering/curing T=120-150-200ºC for 5-10 minutes
*Note: conductivity of 3D printed parts will depend on several variables, such as % 3D-ADD EK1, the 3D resin, dosage of Fine Tuner FT1 and LB1 Bio and the sintering/curing cycle used. LCD 3D printers may exhibit printability limitations at high dosage of 3D-ADD EK1, due to their low light power . It is highly recommended to apply 3D-ADD EK1 to our 3Dresyn SEK1 and/or NSEK1 or by dipping 3D printed parts diluted to wish with our Conductive Thinner CT1
