  1. SEM/FIB
  2. Conductive paints, pastes and cements

Conductive paints, pastes and cements

Conductive paints and adhesives are indispensable for SEM and FIB specimen preparation and specimen mounting. They enable quick specimen mounting and deliver the conductivity needed for SEM and FIB applications.

EM-Tec conductive paints and cements from Micro to Nano are specially selected for specimen preparation use in electron microscopy, focused ion beam, electron microprobe and scanning probe applications. EM-Tec conductive paints, pastes and cements offer different properties to cover a variety of applications. The current product line consists of:

  • EM-Tec C30 premium water based carbon paint
  • EM-Tec C33 fast drying carbon paint
  • EM-Tec C32 water based conductive graphene-carbon paint
  • EM-Tec STC33 Isopropanol solvent / thinner / cleaner for EM-Tec C33 carbon paint
  • EM-Tec C38 strong conductive carbon cement
  • EM-Tec AG15 silver paint
  • EM-Tec STC15 MEK solvent / thinner / cleaner for EM-Tec AG15 silver paint
  • EM-Tec AG42 strong and highly conductive silver cement
  • EM-Tec AG44 conductive silver paint
  • EM-Tec AG46 water-based conductive silver paint
  • EM-Tec AC29 conductive silver coated copper paint
  • EM-Tec NI41 strong and good conductive nickel cement
  • EM-Tec STC39 Acetone solvent / thinner / cleaner for acrylic based conductive paints / cement

Conductive paint and adhesives are ideal to make conductive paths to ground for SEM specimens. Used for making contacts, conductive bonding of specimens on specimen stubs or shielding surfaces of non-conducting specimens. EM-Tec conductive paint and cements are used for many applications besides electron microscopy in repairing contacts, tracks on circuit boards, prototyping, conductive lubrication, electrochemical plating and EMI/RFI shielding. EM-Tec C30 premium water based conductive carbon paint is solvent free and should be preferred to avoid hydro-carbon contamination in the SEM.

EM-Tec conductive silver epoxies enable embedding and cementing specimens and parts providing high conductivity and good mechanical strength. When the epoxy is cured, the specimen can undergo further preparation steps such as polishing, lapping, thinning, etc. Epoxies are not suitable for soldering, but create conductive contact.  EM-Tec silver filled epoxies are a two component system supplied in two syringes. To improve conductivity and to make mixing easy, both components are silver loaded. The amounts of the EM-Tec silver epoxy sets are chosen for affordability, yet sufficient for experiments, specimen preparation and prototyping.

EM-Tec C33 fast drying conductive carbon paint, 15g bottle.  This is an extremely fast drying thin carbon paint (similar to aerosol sprays). Designed to cover large areas quickly with a thin conductive layer. Ideal for making grounding paths and for covering parts of non-conductive epoxy mounts. Due to its low viscosity it easily fills cracks and narrow gaps. EM-Tec C33 is one of the fastest drying carbon paint on the market. Samples can be removed relatively easily due to its low bonding strength. Dries very quickly; less suitable for flexible surfaces.

EM-Tec C38 strong conductive carbon paint, 25g bottle.  This is a strong conductive carbon paint based on fine carbon black flakes with an acrylic binder. EM-Tec C38 exhibits excellent bonding properties on a large variety of materials such as metals, plastics, ceramics, epoxies, rubber, glass, wood and textiles. Ideally suited for making grounding paths and to bond SEM specimens on stubs. The tough acrylic binder reduces material loss; can be used to make permanent bonds. It has the consistency of a thin paste.
