  FlexiCarbon™ Conductive Ink is a low-viscosity, inkjet-compatible conductive formulation developed for precision printing of electrically functional patterns on flexible and lightweight substrates. Its carefully tuned rheology enables stable jetting behavior and uniform thin-film formation, supporting high-resolution printed electronics without clogging or spreading issues.

  After curing within a moderate temperature window, the ink forms a continuous conductive layer with reliable sheet resistance while preserving mechanical flexibility. Strong adhesion and chemical stability on polymeric and paper-based substrates allow the ink to withstand bending, handling, and post-processing steps commonly encountered in flexible circuit manufacturing. These characteristics make it a practical solution for scalable printed electronics, prototyping, and laboratory-scale production.
