Five Star Technologies Introduces New Line of Conductive Pastes
Cleveland Ohio. October 4, 2007. Five Star Technologies announced today that
it has introduced the ElectroSperse™ line of silver conductor pastes, initially
targeting applications in displays and solar cells. Five Star says the ElectroSperse
pastes deliver the same uniform particle size and consistent rheology seen in Five Star
dispersions, enabling customers to print fine features consistently and economically.
Initial screen printing trials have demonstrated that line widths as narrow as 3 mils
can be printed consistently with no loss of conductivity or line integrity.
The initial ElectroSperse offerings, D-110, D-112 and D-114, are targeted at display
bus bar electrodes. All three products are screen-printable pastes designed to deliver
excellent adhesion when fired onto ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) or F-doped TO (Fluorine-doped
Tin Oxide)-coated glass. The series is entirely lead-free, responding to the European market
requirements for RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) and REACH (Registration,
Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) compliance. The three grades differ
in metal content, allowing the user to select a conductivity and price range suitable to
the application. ElectroSperse D-114 achieves a sheet resistivity of 1.2-1.8 milli-ohm/sq,
while D-112 and D-114 are targeted at 2-3 and 4-5 milli-ohms/sq, respectively. Applications
include touch screen sensor electrodes, heater circuits and antennae.
Five Star also offers a line of specialty dispersions that deliver enhanced stability
and unparalleled performance for precious metal processing, chip packaging, ceramic
components and thick film pastes.
