Electric Paint is non-toxic, dries at room temperature, and can be applied onto any non-conductive, non-hydrophobic surfaces, like paper, plastic, textiles, or wood.

Depending on the paint on the surface, in general most plastics such as ABS, ABS-PC, Nylon, Bachelite, epoxy or Polyurethane resins, wood, and glass with an adhesion promoter HOW DOES THE ELECTROCONDUCTIVE PAINT WORK? It can be painted to create circuits, as seen in the Electric Paint Circuit Kit, or as a conductive coating for shielding, as seen with EMI shielding in guitars.MG Chemicals offers conductive paints pigmented with branched carbon powder, nickel flake, silver-coated-copper flake, and silver flake. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice. Copper and silver paints can require solvents to remain in suspension so they can be toxic, require curing, ventilation or both. La solución es raspar un poco la pista del circuito para quitar la capa protectora y poner una tira de esta "tinta conductora". Do not put too much of this stuff onto the button, just a little will do, find the youtube video, it will help.

This level of conductivity is more similar to the high conductivity of silver-coated surfaces but at a much lower cost. Our Printed Sensor product is an example of an effective pattern, optimising the capabilities of the sensor for proximity sensing. The paint is expensive because of the high silver content but because it is so conductive, a small amount goes a long way.Most importantly, the paint is now complemented by a product range which includes hardware, printed sensors, and development kits. Originally developed for use in printed electronics, applications for these materials were traditionally reserved for printing the PCBs (printed circuit boards) that live inside electronic devices, like the smartphones and computers we use every day. Compared to metal conductors like silver, nickel or copper, graphite has a higher electrical resistivity, but it is much easier to source, and can be used in large quantities at a low cost. Wax moulds should be washed carefully in dilute neutral detergent and dried thoroughly before applying Conductive Paint, to remove debris and oily patches. This paint can be used with our electroforming kit but, due to its super high conductivity, can be used with other tank plating kits and brush plating kits.

Diamond Coatings operate a state-of-the-art magnetron sputtering plant, equipped with clean rooms, from modern factory premises located in the heart of England, the Midlands. This makes it a great choice for selective electroforming on things such as shells or plastic items, as there’s no need for tricky masking out jobs – you simply apply the Conductive Paint just in the places you want the electroforming to take place. Our extensive range has over 28,000 products, which are constantly tried and tested by our in-house experts, teachers, and artists. As a general rule, carbon-based inks like Electric Paint have a higher resistance compared to silver paint or copper based inks. The copper based electroconductive paints normally provides a good level of conductivity over longer distances.Electric Paint 10ml is the perfect add-on for the hardware including Touch Board, Pi Cap, and Light Up Board. Spheres are not optimal for conductivity, but can provide a smooth finish and increased conductivity when used in conjunction with flakes. Our printed sensors allow us to create bespoke interfaces, detect unwelcome guests or gather anonymous data about users, even monitor water leaks.
