DuPont Microcircuit Materials Expands Printed Electronics Product Line

DuPont Microcircuit Materials (DuPont) announced that it is expanding its suite of low silver, conductive ink materials specifically tailored for membrane touch switch (MTS), radio-frequency identification (RFID), and wearable electronic applications. DuPont highlighted its new offerings and the rest of its innovative product portfolio at the upcoming Printed Electronics USA 2013, Nov. 20-21 in Santa Clara, CA.

“Because DuPont has been a leading supplier of advanced materials for the electronics industry for many years, we are in a unique position to address the needs of the rapidly growing printed electronics market,” said John Voultos, business development manager, DuPont Microcircuit Materials. “Last year we introduced the DuPont PE8XX offering to help address the rising cost of silver. Now we are continuing to demonstrate our leadership and focus in this space by expanding our offering to include four new products specifically designed for key applications within the industry.”

Designed to balance conductivity needs with cost concerns, the DuPont PE8XX materials leverage proprietary DuPont technology in order to deliver higher conductivity from precious metals. The product suite announced today includes the following:
• DuPont PE825 and PE826, specifically designed for MTS applications where cost is key.
• DuPont PE815 for RFID applications to help drive improved radio frequency performance.
• DuPont PE871 for wearable electronics applications that balance conductivity and washability.
