NovaCentrix is focused on technologies and products to enable products and manufacturing in Printed Electronics. The PulseForge® photonic curing tools process high-temperature materials on low-temperature substrates. This includes drying, sintering, annealing, or reacting metallic, non-metallic, and semiconductor inks, without damaging fragile substrates such as foils and plastics. With processing times of only milliseconds, surface depositions can be heated to melting or crystallization temperatures without damaging low temperature substrates. The very short processing times also allow high-speed processing rates, and the PulseForge tools are capable of roll-to-roll production at speeds approaching 300 meters per minute.

 

NovaCentrix also offers Metalon® conductive inks, specially suited for maximum performance with PulseForge tools. Use with the PulseForge tools allows the Metalon inks to be formulated for maximum printability while still attaining maximum conductivity. Silver inks and the breakthrough ICI copper oxide reduction inks are available. Metalon inks can be applied to substrates such as plastic films, paper, transparent conductive oxides, and glass. With PulseForge tools and Metalon inks, Now You Can.
