LOCTITE ECI 1006 E&C
Main features
- Halogen free
- High conductivity
- Fine line screen printable
Product Description
LOCTITE ECI 1006 E&C is a halogen-free, conductive silver ink with a very high viscosity. Therefore it is suitable for fine line printing (50 µm line/spacing possible), offering good adhesion when being printed onto polyester foil and ITO.
LOCTITE ECI 1006 E&C is suitable for screen printing and is often used for printing circuits on flexible substrates to create touch screens, EL-lamps and solar cells.
Drying cycle
- 10 minutes @ 130°C

Physical Properties | |
Viscosity Viscosity Viscosity is a measurement of a fluid’s resistance to flow. Viscosity is commonly measured in centiPoise (cP). One cP is defined as the viscosity of water and all other viscosities are derived from this base. MPa is another common unit with a 1:1 conversion to cP. A product like honey would have a much higher viscosity -around 10,000 cPs- compared to water. As a result, honey would flow much slower out of a tipped glass than water would. The viscosity of a material can be decreased with an increase in temperature in order to better suit an application | 57,000 mPa.s |
Additional Information
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
1. Surface Preparation
- No surface treatment is needed for ITO or etched ITO substrates.
2. Mixing/Dilution
- Mix thoroughly before use to ensure it is homogenous.
- Avoid rapid stirring, as this causes air entrapment.
- If needed, the ink can be diluted with up to 1 to 2% by weight maximum with DBE (dibasic ester). The solvent should be mixed in thoroughly, including scraping the sides of the container, for over a minute until it is homogenous and streak free.
3. Application
- LOCTITE ECI 1006 E&C is designed for fine line screen printing application.
- Recommended screen and printing parameters are:
Stainless Steel Screen, mesh 400
Emulsion Thickness , µm 10 to 12
Polyurethane Squeegee, durometer D90
Print Speed, in/sec 7 to 10
Snap-off Distance, mils 50 to 80
