New ultra fine emulsion for high specification printed electronics

MacDermid Autotype, the leading European manufacturer of specialised hard coated films and chemicals, has launched Autotype PLUS GOLD, a photo-stencil emulsion specifically designed for high tolerance electronics screen printing.

 

The new ultra fine emulsion is ideal for Photovoltaics, LCD displays, medical bio-sensors, and other demanding printed electronics applications.

 

Autotype PLUS GOLD is primarily designed for use on steel meshes, where the distinctive red colour reduces edge effects (reflection nodes) to ensure superb print quality. In addition, the emulsion is highly resistant to the abrasive inks used for Solar Cell manufacture, to give the longest possible print life without track growth during the run.

 

Ultra fine filtration, minimal shrink back, optimised print definition/resolution, and maximum resistance to breakdown are just a few of the benefits that Autotype PLUS GOLD offers for printed electronics applications.

 

Autotype PLUS GOLD is now available in 1 litre and 4 litre containers from your MacDermid Autotype distributor.
