Emerson & Cuming Expands Capabilities with Printable Circuit Assembly Materials

Emerson & Cuming announced that it has added the series of polymer thick films, conductive inks and coatings of sister company Acheson Electronic Materials to its own circuit assembly materials offerings, allowing it to now offer printed, sprayable, jettable and dispensed materials for a very wide array of electronic component assembly applications.

In addition to its adhesives, coatings, encapsulants and sealants for circuit assembly, Emerson & Cuming said it will market Acheson Electronic Materials’ brands of polymer thick films beginning in the fourth quarter of 2007. The product ranges include polymer thick films for printing via screen, rotogravure and flexographic methods. Acheson polymer thick film inks are used for the production of flexible circuits for membrane switches, flexible circuits for PC and notebook keyboards, heating elements, printed circuit boards, smart cards, RFID antenna, battery check labels, biosensors, EKG/ECG electrodes, EL-lamps, potentiometers, and touch screens.
