Liquid X Printed Metals has introduced two particle-free inks.The inks will enable manufacturers in the electronics and other industries to produce thinner, more cost-effective and adaptable electronic components that will drive innovation in consumer electronics, and advanced and medical technology among other industries.
The company’s two inaugural products, Liquid X’s Silver Inkjet Ink and Silver Flexo Ink, were developed using an original and proprietary particle-free formulation that leads to more cost-effective and trouble-free processing; more durable traces that withstand bending and flexing; adherence to the full range of substrates; good conductivity; excellent printability; and enhanced sustainability due to its water-based composition.
“Liquid X is introducing particle-free inks that eliminate problems associated with other metallic inks that are made with less stable nanoparticles or metal flakes, which are thicker and can cause clogging, slowness and other problems in printing,” said Greg Babe, president and CEO of Liquid X.“Our Silver Inkjet Ink and Silver Flexo Ink leverage atomic-level technology, which represents the kind of powerful, robust and adaptable innovation required to tap the fullest potential of printed electronics.”
Liquid X’s molecular inks consist of novel metal complexes that are printed as solutions that are used in the creation of films or traces that exhibit high conductivity, are thin and precise, and allow for low-temperature processing that enables adherence on a wide range of substrates. The low viscosity of the inks allow for use in printing methods that include inkjet, aerosol jet, flexography and gravure.
Liquid X’s conductive inks are designed for applications that range from transparent conductors and touchscreens, to photovoltaic, industrial and automotive applications, and smart packaging.
In development is a product called Silver Stretchable Ink, which is designed for stretchable substrates such as fabrics or elastomers. Applications for Silver Stretchable Ink include wearables, soft robotics and other customized applications.
