Thick Film Whitepaper

Large-Format Printing of PTC 4980 Self-Regulating Heater Inks

In our in-depth technical whitepaper we dive into the world of Polymer Thick Film (PTF), specifically the advancements of Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) resistor pastes for self-regulating heaters. 

Printed electronics have revolutionized heating solutions across industries by enabling cost-effective, scalable, and customizable manufacturing processes. One of the critical advancements in this field is the use of Positive Temperature Coefficient (PTC) resistor pastes for self-regulating heaters. These materials offer inherent temperature control, reducing the need for external regulation mechanisms and ensuring safer, more energy-efficient heating solutions.

Find out how Heraeus Electronics remains at the forefront of innovation with our development of PTC4980, a new family of carbon and polymer-based resistor pastes designed specifically for self-regulating heaters.
