With Electric Paint you can either paint small electrical circuits or, combined with our hardware, create touch and proximity sensors. If you are unsure please read the technical data below to ensure Bare Conductive paint is suitable for your application.

Use alongside the Touch Board, Pi Cap or Light Up Board to create high precision touch and proximity sensors. The copper based electroconductive paints normally provides a good level of conductivity over longer distances.the one that not working look like it an issues with the main board can see a bit of damage will try and paint the damaged line back but it very fine. The polymer matrix and the additives in the formula must create as little electrical interference as possible. As a general rule, carbon-based inks like Electric Paint have a higher resistance compared to silver paint or copper based inks. Most importantly, the paint is now complemented by a product range which includes hardware, printed sensors, and development kits.

To avoid this issue, Cromas has developed a special process in the manufacturing of this paint that will activate the surface and eliminate the oxide that builds up on the surface.The shift in convenience has caused a huge volume of immediate expectation from consumers, transforming how companies manufacture goods, operate and compete. Conductive Pens – Conductive paints in a convenient pen format, perfect for prototyping, trace repair, and touchup. Conductive Acrylic Paints – 1-part coatings that are easy to apply, cure quickly, and provide optimal EMI / RFI shielding to plastic electronic enclosures. Because Electric Paint can be applied to a wide range of inexpensive surfaces, like paper, it unlocks the ability to harness low-cost, high-volume manufacturing processes to produce sensors.

When applied in a thin layer, by screen printing onto paper or textiles, Electric Paint is flexible and allows for a degree of bend. Electric Paint 10ml is the perfect add-on for the hardware including Touch Board, Pi Cap, and Light Up Board. Although you may not have heard the term, chances are you use this technology on a daily basis as capacitive sensing is the technology used on smartphone screens to detect touch. There are some colored synthetic conductive materials that are light in colour, but Cromas has not tested these materials. Because it is so conductive you can use a very thin layer, this means that you can keep really fine detail on the item being electroformed.

Whether as an interface in your dashboard, tracking a person’s movement in a room or detecting liquid leakage, we have just begun exploring the many possibilities that exist to harness the power of conductive inks and paints in the creation of smart surfaces, and we can’t wait to see where it takes us. Our extensive range has over 28,000 products, which are constantly tried and tested by our in-house experts, teachers, and artists. It will dry very quickly in air but to ensure complete removal of solvent before plating, it is advisable to dry for 30 minutes at 60 – 80°C or 60 minutes at ambient temperature (20 – 25°C). Based upon the same principles and chemicals used in industrial electroplating systems, our tank plating kits are ideal for almost all objects and can give a wide range of finishes.
