Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Carbon Paste is a functional carbon-based paste used in pressure-sensitive film, FSR force-sensitive resistors, and flexible pressure-sensing devices. It is typically formulated by dispersing conductive fillers such as ultrafine carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphite, or graphene with low-temperature curing resin, solvents, and additives. The product is suitable for screen printing and can form a piezoresistive functional layer on flexible substrates such as PET and PVC films. Its resistance changes in response to applied pressure, while offering fast drying, low-temperature curing, good printability, pressure sensitivity, film hardness, and strong adhesion.

Upstream materials for Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Carbon Paste mainly include carbon-based conductive materials such as carbon nanotubes, carbon black, graphite, and graphene, as well as low-temperature curing thermosetting resin, solvents, dispersants, leveling agents, and adhesion promoters. Midstream production involves formulation design, grinding and dispersion, viscosity control, filtration, and packaging to obtain printable paste products. Downstream applications mainly include FSR force-sensitive resistors, pressure-sensitive film, pressure sensor arrays, pressure-sensitive membrane switches, tactile sensing modules, and other flexible pressure-sensing devices.

Global key Pressure-Sensitive Conductive Carbon Paste players cover Henkel, Saralon GmbH, Haydale Graphene Industries, NanoPaint, Creative Materials, etc.
