LI‐CP‐05 | Carbon Resistive Ink
Likhotronics | Description:
Carbon resistive ink in an organic polymeric solution. It is specially formulated for printed electronic applications on glass/PET.
Likhotronics
| Product Advantages:
- One component system. ‐ No mixing required.
- Solvent based system
- Electrically resistive
- Refrigeration not required.
- Low viscosity paste – viscosity can be further reduced by adding EtOAc/BuOAc.

Ink Preparation:
Stir (or shake) the ink thoroughly before use to ensure the product is well mixed, care should be taken to avoid introducing air
bubbles. Do not add used ink back into the container to avoid cross contamination.

Likhotronics | Storage and Shelf‐life:
Containers should be stored as specified with lids tightly sealed at room temperature (25°C).
Normal shelf‐life is 6 months. Extended shelf‐life can be achieved by storing inks in a fridge at 4‐8°C (do not freeze). Allow ink to warm up to room temperature before opening.
