SOFC Ink Vehicle

Create your own ceramic paste and inks using the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) Ink Vehicle. This terpineol based ink vehicle is excellent for creating ceramic pastes and inks and is used in our own fabrication processes. You can also adjust the viscosity of your current pastes and inks by gradually adding this ink vehicle until you get the right consistency for your application.

• Formulation: Terpineol Based

• This is a great ink for making electrical connections for electrochemical testing of fuel cells, ceramic substrates, electrochemical materials, and metals.
• Stirring the ink before use is highly recommended. For best results, the ink should be stirred with a spatula or a sonic wand to achieve an even consistency prior to use.
• This ink is typically fired at 750°C or 850°C for 1 hour to ensure adhesion prior to testing at the desired test temperature.
• This ink can be used for screen printing for generating electrical connections for wire attachments.

Ensuring a solid connection between your electrodes and current collector is critical for obtaining good test results. Leveraging our experience in electrochemical testing, testing we have we offer the following suggestions for obtaining optimum results with our silver paste product.
