PRODUCT DESCRIPTION LOCTITE ECI 8001 E&C provides the following product characteristics: Technology Thermoplastic Appearance Black paste Product Benefits ● Screen printable ● Flexible ● Printable on most common substrates ● Rapid heating with fast, defined cut-off temperatures, no external control devices needed Filler Type Carbon Operating Temperature 65oC Cure Hot air drying or infrared Application Conductive Ink Typical Assembly Applications Self regulating heating elements Key Substrates PET substrates LOCTITE ECI 8001 E&C is a Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) screen printable ink designed for applications where self regulating heaters are required. This material is formulated to rapidly heat to a specific threshold temperature and then maintain constant temperature for the device. TYPICAL PROPERTIES OF UNCURED MATERIAL Solids Content (TGA, 1hour @ 150°C), % 50 Density, g/ml 1.0 Viscosity, Plate & Plate, mPa·s (cP): Plate 20mm @ Shear rate 15 s -1 6,500 Thixotropic Index (1.5/15 rpm) 6.0 Theoretical coverage, m2/kg: @ 10 μm coating thickness 48 Flash Point - See SDS TYPICAL CURING PERFORMANCE Recommended Drying Cycle 10 minutes @ 120°C LOCTITE ECI 8001 E&C can be dried using forced air or infrared systems. Higher temperatures for longer time exposure will improve the performance. Care should be taken with infrared. Too much energy can destroy the coating. Design drying rates for the maximum the substrate and production speeds can tolerate. The above drying profile is a guideline recommendation. Conditions (time and temperature) may vary based on customers' experience and their application requirements, as well as customer drying equipment, oven loading and actual oven temperatures.
