4 Printed Electronic Inks AUTOMOTIVE Today s automotive devices from sensors to heating elements are subjected to harsher conditions than ever before. Smaller form factors and rising temperatures mean automotive sensors that control air bags, braking systems, steering control and wheel position, among others, must be able to withstand high temperatures, increased vibration and, in many cases, exposure to automotive fluids. Henkel s portfolio of silver-based, carbon-based and dielectric inks have been designed to perform exceptionally well under extreme conditions and have been custom formulated for application-specific performance.

Printed Electronic Inks 5 DISPLAYS Many modern display technologies rely on indium tin oxide (ITO) transparent conductors for touch screen control. While effective, the production of ITO is a complex and costly process. To simplify manufacturing and lower overall cost, Henkel has developed a new line of printable transparent conductive inks that provide an additive, adaptable and cost-effective alternative to ITO for certain display devices. These inks, in combination with a protective top layer ink, are delivering outstanding results for industrial touch screens, but also for other applications including membrane touch switches, automotive touch screens, backlight switches, keyless entry devices, luminescent displays, printed LED lighting, shielding, solar cells and high-amperage designs.

Printed Electronic Inks 7 RFID RFID technology is found in a variety of devices including smart cards, passports, credit cards, various transportation payment systems and more. In addition to flexibility, adhesion and compatibility requirements, electronic inks used for RFID products have to be capable of transmitting and receiving specific radio frequencies. All of the elements within the ink system have to be formulated to interact effectively with RF fields and this requires materials that offer good permeability, surface roughness and low impedance. Henkel has a long and successful history developing inks for RFID devices and this knowledge base is enabling the next generation of these popular ID products.
