Pröll KG announced that it will be showing its Hybrid PS Screen Printing Stencil and NORIPHAN XMR screen printing ink for IMD/FIM technology at LOPEC 2018, Munich, Germany.
 
The Hybrid PS Screen is a high-tech screen printing stencil, developed for industrial applications. The stencil shows excellent detail reproduction and highest print accuracy, the company reported.
 
Image carrier is a highly precise nickel shadow mask made by SPGPrints, fixed in a PET mesh. The hexagonal mesh design leads to a homogenous ink or paste transfer. Due to the excellent printing resolution of the stencil, line structures of > 30 µm can be realized. Due to virtually distortion-free printing, accurate multi-layer sequences for the manufacture of complex micro electronic devices can be produced. Pröll Services GmbH Hildesheim is a leading supplier of technical screen printing screens.
 
NORIPHAN XMR is a halogen-free two-component ink system for IMD/FIM technology. NORIPHAN XMR is formable, shows extremely high wash-out resistance, outstanding cohesion in compound and long-term durability in the final part. The mild screen printing ink can be used as decorating ink or wash-out protective layer on PC films and PET films. 
 
NORIPHAN XMR shows high electrical resistance in capacitive fields. The black color shades can be used for back printing of conductive pastes in functional IMD/FIM parts due to its non-conductivity. The highly resistant screen printing ink can be used for conventional printing applications as well.
