NANOINKS

Developing highly concentrated metallic inks that overcome dispensing size limitations.
Bringing premium products to the market.

ABOUT XTPL NANOINKS

Working on our breakthrough ultra-precise printing technology, we developed a line of highly-concentrated metallic inks (up to 85 wt.%) characterised by superior stability and homogeneity. It is possible to efficiently extrude these inks through micrometer nozzles (even 0.5 µm) without the risk of clogging.

CORE ADVANTAGES OF XTPL NANOINKS

 

SUPERIOR INK STABILITY

  • Secured full manufacturing process: from nanoparticles synthesis to end-product formulation
  • Superior ink homogeneity and stability enabling extremely long nozzle lifetime
  • Non-clogging behaviour of the ink allowing for continuous efficient printing

 

 

HIGH-RESOLUTION PRINTING

  • Fine feature printing even on non-planar substrates
  • Uniform well-defined printed functional features
  • Excellent wettability on multiple substrates: glass, silicon nitrides, silicon oxides, foils (e.g. Kapton, PET, PEN, PC), silicon wafers

 

HIGH YIELD OF PRINTED STRUCTURES

  • High metal loading (30-85 wt.%)
  • Unmatched electrical conductivity up to 50% silver bulk conductivity
  • High aspect ratio structures already after single pass

The properties of XTPL nanoinks enable you to shorten your development cycles, and at the same time achieve the required level of resolution and electrical conductivity in a reproducible manner.

Testimonials

1. We were impressed with the height of the structures we could achieve with XTPL Ag Nanoink IJ36 after already a single pass printing (even 200 nm high). Importantly, the jetting of the inkjet ink from XTPL is efficient with both 10 pL and 1 pL Dimatix cartridges, so we are now able to obtain high quality patterns of higher resolution with inkjet. With an ink like that, we can concentrate on research, and not on the problems arising around printing itself.
