Chemtronics CircuitWorks® Conductive Pen CW2200STP - Manual (Page 2)

USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Read MSDS carefully prior to use.
Cleaning: For best adhesion, clean board with one
of Chemtronics Electro-Wash

or Pow-R-Wash

solvents in order to remove any surface
contamination which may prevent adequate material
contact.
Mixing: Although this system has been formulated
to resist hard-packing, it should be shaken
vigorously for 30 seconds to insure the proper
dispersion of the silver flakes. If pen has been
allowed to sit idle for a long period of time, the
mixing ball may seize in the barrel. To free the ball
use force to tap the barrel end of the pen until the
ball begins to move inside the pen.
Application: The conductive ink is dispensed
through the CircuitWorks

Conductive Pen.
Squeezing the pen body while pressing down on the
surface will allow the material to flow, enabling the
trace to be drawn. Practice with the pen before
attempting detail work. The bulk form of this
material may be applied by brushing, banding, or
automatic dispensing equipment.
Thinning: The conductive ink has been optimized
for the CircuitWorks

Conductive Pen and thinning
is not normally necessary. However, Butyl Acetate
may be added with thorough mixing to make slight
adjustments for ease of application in the bulk form.
Clean-up/Removal: The conductive ink may be
cleaned or removed using a strong organic solvent
such as Chemtronics

Electro-Wash

PX.
Curing: Tack-free in 3 to 5 minutes at room
temperature. Achieves electrical conductivity
within 30 minutes. Heat cure for 5 minutes at 250
to 300
°F (120 to 150°C) for maximum conductivity,
durability and chemical resistance.
Soldering: Low temperature soldering is possible
to the heat-cured silver conductive traces if done at
350
°F (177°C) for <5 seconds.
