Product Data Sheet

Product Catalog Number: Sicrys™  I50TM-119 
​

General Information

Sicrys™ I50TM-119, a conductive ink based on single-crystal silver nanoparticles in triethylene glycol monomethyl ether (TGME), has been designed for inkjet printing and low temperature sintering applications. The ink offers a unique combination of properties, including high silver loading, low viscosity, storage at ambient conditions, long shelf life, reliable jetting and good printability. Printed patterns, sinterable at low temperatures, provide low electrical resistivity, good adhesion to a wide range of substrates and durability to humid and aqueous environments.
