Description

Large scale project with Electric Paint? You’re looking in the right place. Design, discover, create. Your design and electronics projects are about to change forever. Paint and screen print circuits and sensors, or use as a conductive adhesive on almost anything including paper, plastic, textiles and conventional electronics. For permanent applications, or to create multi-layer circuitry, Electric Paint can be insulated using standard acrylic or water-based paints.

What makes Electric Paint cool?

Transform everyday materials into touch interfaces and smart surfaces with Bare Conductive Electric Paint. It’s the perfect conductive ink for painting sensors and can be applied like any other water-based paint using a paintbrush, or even screen-printed to create precise designs and patterns. One 1L tin can cover up to 16 square meters.

Suitable for a wide range of applications
Bare Conductive Electric Paint is hugely versatile and suitable for use in a wide range of applications including

• PCB repair
• Painting circuits/sensors
• Cold soldering

Ideal for large-scale projects
One 1L tin of Electric Paint can cover up to 16 square meters making it perfect for large-scale projects such as building sensors into your environment or creating interactive installations.

Apply with a brush, roller, or even screen-print it!
Electric Paint can be applied with a brush or roller like any paint, however, if you are looking to create precise designs and maximise the coverage of the paint, it can even be screen-printed!

Suitable for a range of surfaces
Use Bare Conductive’s Electric Paint on a range of materials, from paper and textiles to plastics and conventional electronics. It is also suitable for use with a wide range of prototyping materials, electrical components, microcontrollers, and PCBs, including Raspberry Pi and Arduino amongst others.

Perfect for prototyping 
This electric ink is the ideal prototyping tool for developers of all ages and stages with its non-toxic, water soluble and solvent-free formulation.

Electric Paint FAQs

• Is it toxic? No, it’s water-based, non-toxic and gives off no fumes while drying.
• How long does Electric Paint take to dry? It dries at room temperature in approximately 10-15 minutes. It dries rather than cures.
• What materials can Electric Paint be applied to? Because Electric Paint is water-based it acts like poster paint and can be applied to all sorts of materials, including (but not limited to) paper, cardboard, vellum, wood, metal, plaster, some rubbers, plastics, and many textiles. Hydrophobic materials such as glass and plastics will exhibit poor adhesion, though this can be improved by roughing the surface with sandpaper or similar.
• How easy is it to remove Electric Paint after application? Easy! It can be removed from most surfaces with warm soapy water.
• Can Electric Paint be sealed to make it permanent? Yes! You can easily seal it with paint, varnish, or waterproofing spray. Best of all, even if you do seal and treat it properly, the Electric Paint’s conductive properties do not degrade, and it can maintain its performance for years! If you still want to connect to the paint, a small section of the paint must be left uncoated.
