As you can see, I have barely scratched the surface of what is possible with an inexpensive conductive glue and glued circuits. The user shall determine the suitability of the product for his intended use and the user assumes all risk and liability whatsoever in connection therewith. Products are applied by brush or spray to plastic housings to protect electronic devices from excessive levels of interference that effects its normal operation. If you add more graphite than that, the painted line tends to become more brittle and can shrink and crack. Finally ECAs are also efficient heat conductors, and for that reason some ECAs or pastes can be used in heat-dissipation applications.

Systems have tightly controlled viscosity and provide superior protection against exposure to moisture, vibration, thermal cycling.

Certain combinations can offer other advantages – such as silver plated copper or nickel, which are often less expensive but still offer low resistivity. You can create a line stencil by cutting a 1/8" or wider slot in a piece of cardboard and painting in the slot. Like most conductors, the resistance of the glue is roughly proportional to the cross sectional area of the conductor. In addition the adhesives are much more flexible than solder and are therefore better able to withstand vibrations.

As for me, I am quite happy to continue experimenting with the proven graphite formula which has low cost, high flexibility, variable resistance, and many possibilities. Contact a member of our team to learn more about our products and to discuss your specific requirements. Worldwide leading manufacturer of EMC (electromagnetic compatibility), EMI (electromagnetic interference) and RFI(radio frequency interference) shielding solutions. Each Master Bond grade of these formulations contains different types, shapes, sizes, volumes of highly conductive flakes, particles, spheres, granules to provide low volume resistivity for bonding, sealing, coating applications. The products are two-part and single-part epoxy systems designed for all applications where heat transfer is essential, including heat-sinking and ceramic packaging.

These high-performance adhesives are often used as an alternative to solder in applications where the components being bonded are temperature sensitive. It is used only to illustrate the concept, obviously you can choose your own integrated circuits and make the circuit of your choice.
