SHOW STOPPER 2020 IFAI EXPO CHEMICALS, COATINGS & COMPOUNDS Electrically Insulating Inks for Printing of Smart Textiles UV-curable Polymers for Use in Composites DITF GERMAN INSTITUTES OF TEXTILE AND FIBER RESEARCH DITF GERMAN INSTITUTES OF TEXTILE AND FIBER RESEARCH This ink enables insulation of printed electrically conductive paths and sensor structures on smart textiles. The ink provides high abrasion resistance and good flexibility and is stable against washing up to 60°C. UV-curable formulations were developed for use with matrix-polymers in composites. The use of such compounds reduces energy consumption during fixation and shortens manufacturing time. www.ditf.de www.ditf.de To learn more about this year's Show Stopper Program, visit IFAIexpo.com/show-stoppers 38 2020 SHOW GUIDE ExGd20_p33-38_showstopper.indd 38 10/6/20 9:50 AMhttp://www.ditf.de http://www.ditf.de http://www.IFAIexpo.com/show-stoppers
