Thick-Film Materials and Ceramic Tapes from ESL ElectroScience

 

ESL ElectroScience and ESL Europe manufacture screen-printable pastes such as thick-film paste conductors, dielectrics and resistors (also known as thick-film inks, paints or coatings), ceramic tape systems (tape casting), and fired parts such as porous alumina and zirconia cover plates, SOFC substrates, MEAs, and both anode-supported and electrolyte-supported fuel cells. These advanced materials find application in hybrid microcircuits and multilayer microelectronics, electronic components such as inductors, capacitors and transformers, heaters on steel or other substrates, plus low and high temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC and HTCC). In addition, applications include photovoltaic solar cells, SOFC and other fuel cells, temperature/pressure/gas sensors, sealing glasses and other thick-film interconnect or metallization needs. For 2012, see ESL's new material systems for automotive planar oxygen sensors and other multi-layer HTCC components, and our new one-part aluminum insulating system for use in LED's.

ESL meets its customers' challenges with off-the-shelf products, and by the development of proprietary or custom formulations. In absolute confidentiality, ESL delivers on-time, low-cost, high-reliability, stable and reproducible materials in an ISO 9001:2008 environment, scaling up from laboratory and pilot-scale quantities to high-volume production. ESL ships orders of thick-film materials that range from a few grams of paste and sheets of tape to tonnage or millions of square meter lots.

See ESL's environmentally-friendly and RoHS-compliant products (lead and cadmium free), highlighted throughout this web site, with many new 'green' products added in 2011, with more coming in 2012. Ask us also about our many REACH-compliant products.

We invite you to select ESL thick-film paste and ceramic tape products, view the product data sheets, and order trial quantities on-line.

If we do not meet your needs, do contact our Customer Service or Technical Service staff in North America, in Europe, and in Asia. Not all ESL products are listed on-line, and we also welcome the opportunity to develop and manufacture new proprietary compositions just for you.
