Conductive paint

[karlbamforth]

Some years ago in a previous employment we used a metallic spray paint on plastic that was conductive after it dried.

It was possible to pass a 12v current through the dry paint layer. I now have a use for the paint again but cannot remember what it was, or who manufactured it.

Anybody got any ideas.

Not sure if any information at this point will be helpful, but for anyone else interested. I have found a good source for spray/roll-paint/silkscreen coductive materials.

I have recently been laying conductive ink/epoxy bus bars onto ITO flexible substrates, material being 118-41 conductive ink from creative materials. The ink has excellent properties in terms of resistiance, temperature reactance, and flexibility. The draw only draw back that i have found is the price. $500 for about 150 gram sample. I am going to be ordering some of the previously listed materials from lessemf source to see how it compares in performance, as it much less expensive.
