RFID CONDUCTIVE INKS
XZ250 – Thermal Flexible Conductive Silver PTF for High Speed Printing
XZ250 is flexible conductive silver PTF (Polymer Thick Film). Developed for application by flat bed screen but also
compatible rotary screen (with field trials on gravure on-Going).
The ink is thermally dried to give a tough, highly-conductive film. The cured film also has excellent flex
Characteristics.
Typical surface resistivity at a dry film print thickness of 25µm is ≤0.012 Ω/sq
*It should be noted that by altering the print thickness of the ink the resistance value can be changed.
XZ250 can additionally be mixed with conductive carbon ink 26-8203 to produce intermediate resistance values and additionally reduce cost.
In addition to printing trace/circuitry this ink can also be used for printing large blocks areas for applications such as
RF shielding layers. XZ250 is suitable for use on most common flexible and rigid substrates.

XZ352 - FLEXO GRAPHITE CONDUCTIVE INK FOR RFID
XZ352 has been specially formulated for application by the flexographic printing process, suitable for use with
normal rubber and photopolymer stereos.
It is an aqueous based graphite conductive ink for the economic
production of RFID antennas. It is suitable for high-speed flexo printing on a wide range of substrates giving
excellent adhesion and flexibility on treated polyester and paper.
This ink is a single component system for ease
of use, no mixing of a hardener component is required.
The ink has a long shelf life & good working life
during the printing process.
Conductive component is carbon graphite - to offer good conductivity at a lower price than silver (or other metal)
based conductive inks.

40 ohms/sq. can be achieved on a non-absorbent polyester substrate at dry film thickness of 10 microns. A
higher figure is likely on absorbent substrate and therefore two workings may be required to meet a particular
specification.
If lower graphite content is required then this can be achieved with addition of Water Based Flexo Medium (Please
