United States. PPG's industrial coatings business created a group dedicated to electronic materials to integrate products and technologies acquired from Spraylat Corp.
PPG now offers a line of electrically conductive, resistive and dielectric inks and conductive coatings for radio frequency interference/electromagnetic interference (RFI/EMI) and suppression.
The coatings are used for applications such as touch panels for smartphones, tablets and other consumer systems; interactive and electrochromic screens, biomedical sensors, among other products that require printed circuits.
Inks with thick film polymer (PTF) conductors that are typically formulated with metal flakes or powder to carry a load and bonded with a thermoplastic resin, can be printed on polymer-based film, polycarbonate, paper and other substrates. PTF inks are compatible with most printing methods, from flat and rotary screen printing and flexography to gravure.
