PSP-NM101-IS
Product Description
PSP-NM101-IS is a screen printable silver paste that is used for smart windows, thin film PV, display and general printed electronics applications. The paste is compatible with glass and transparent conductive coated glass substrates.
Product Benefits
• Low temperature sintering
• Excellent adhesion
• Excellent electrical conductivity
Paste Preparation
PSP-NM101-IS is a single part paste system. The paste should be gently stirred before use avoiding incorporation of air bubbles. Once the paste has been removed from the container for printing, this may introduce contamination. Please do not replace the paste in the container.

The paste can be dried using either a convection oven or using IR heating. Typical drying parameters used are 140˚C
for 20 mins. Drying times may be reduced to achieve the optimum resistivity depending on manufacturing process set-up.
Typical print thickness after drying is 6-8 µm.
