Nickel Conductive Paste

Description and Specifications of Nickel Conductive Paste

Nickel conductive paste is an adhesive that creates a strong, conductive bond between two surfaces. It is also called Nickel Conductive Paint. The paste consists of finely distributed Nickel nanoparticles suspended in a binder, making a homogeneous mixture that can be easily applied and cured.

This conductive paste contains Nickel and carbon filler and is a single component. It is black and a good conductor of electricity. It is used in shielding electrostatic applications. It is an excellent adhesion over various substrates, coupled with good conductivity. It is available in a 10 gm size and can be applied to plastics, ceramics, and metals.

The main components of Nickel conductive adhesive paste are as follows:

• Nickel Particles: The paste contains high-quality Nickel particles, which are typically in the form of flakes or spheres. These particles have a controlled size distribution, and their choice influences the paste’s conductivity and bonding properties. Smaller particle sizes offer better electrical performance, while larger particles can enhance mechanical strength.
• Binder System: The binder system is a crucial element as it acts as a vehicle for dispersing the Nickel particles and provides the necessary adhesive properties for bonding. Usually, a polymer resin is used as the binder, which is compatible with the Nickel particles and the surfaces to be bonded. The binder ensures good wetting and adhesion to various substrates like metals, ceramics, glass, or plastics.
• Solvents and Additives: The paste formulation often includes solvents to adjust viscosity and facilitate easy application. These solvents evaporate during curing, leaving behind a solid adhesive bond. Additionally, certain additives may be incorporated to enhance specific properties of the paste, such as rheology modifiers to control flow or thickeners to adjust viscosity.

Applications of Nickel Conductive Paste

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs):

It is ideal for use in PCB manufacturing processes. It can be applied to create conductive traces, pads, and vias on the board surface, enabling the flow of electrical signals between components. The paste offers excellent adhesion to various substrates, including FR-4, ceramic, and flexible PCB materials.

Chip Bonding:

The adhesive is widely used for bonding semiconductor chips to lead frames or substrates. It provides a reliable electrical connection between the chip and the substrate, ensuring efficient heat dissipation and signal transmission. The high thermal conductivity helps prevent overheating, enhancing the electronic device’s overall performance and lifespan.

Solar Cells:

Conductive Nickel gel is crucial in the solar energy industry in manufacturing photovoltaic cells. It is used for creating grid patterns on the cell surface, which facilitate the collection and transmission of generated electricity. The paste’s excellent electrical conductivity and durability ensure optimal energy conversion efficiency.

Touchscreens and Displays:

It is used to manufacture touchscreens and displays, which are applied to form transparent conductive layers. These layers enable touch functionality and accurate sensing of user inputs. The paste’s low resistance and high transparency make it ideal for creating high-performance touch-sensitive surfaces.

Electromagnetic Shielding:

In electromagnetic shielding applications, it can coat or print conductive layers onto enclosures, shielding electronic components from electromagnetic interference (EMI). The paste’s conductivity helps to redirect and dissipate electromagnetic waves, preventing disruptions in sensitive electronic systems.

Safety Measures

• Always wear appropriate PPE to protect the users’ skin, eyes, and body from potential contact with the paste.
• During application, Nickel conductive paints may release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and adequate ventilation helps minimize exposure.
• Do not eat, drink, or smoke in the work area. Avoid inhaling or ingesting the Nickel Paste. If accidental ingestion occurs, seek immediate medical attention. If the user breathes it in, go to a place with fresh air and get medical help if the symptoms continue.
• Avoid direct contact with the skin. If a user encounters something accidentally, wash the affected area with soap and water to thoroughly clean it.
• Keep the conductive paste in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated spot, away from ignition sources and incompatible materials.
• Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for proper storage and handling procedures. Ensure the containers are tightly sealed when not in use to prevent drying or contamination.

How to Use?

1. Mix thoroughly.
2. To apply the adhesive paste, use a brush, spatula, or dispenser to spread a thin coat on each surface.
3. Prewet the surfaces to improve adhesion.
4. Maintain a uniform bond line of 2-8 mils.

Apply even pressure (clamp if possible), and wipe away excess material before drying
