Technical Bulletin (YKC-7000)
Outlines:
Conductive paste YKC-7000 is designed for fast curable and as an one-component type of carbon paste. This product has an excellent flexibility, adhesion and printability.
Cured YKC-7000
has high surface hardness and flat smooth surface condition with high moisture
and heat resistance.
Application
fields:
YKC-7000 can be
applied on keyboard-contact, jumper-circuitry and carbon through-hole mainly.

Direction
to use:
l Stir up thoroughly before use.
l Use as supplied without dilution.
l Use special thinner #700 to dilute, if the viscosity of YKC-7000 gets too high. Diluting ratio should be set under 5 wt%.
l Clean the coating area thoroughly before application.
l Use 150 to 250 meshes polyester or stainless screen for coating.
l Curing process should be operated at 150deg.Cx15min. in an air-oven.
l Use chloride hydrocarbon-based solvent to clean the tools and screens.
