Thermally Conductive Pastes

Our technology enables the production of cost-efficient, thermally conductive pastes with exceptional performance. Ideal for heat management in batteries and computer technology.

Compatible with Standard Printing Technologies

Our pastes are compatible with various industrial printing methods and established processes, making integration into existing production lines fast and straightforward.

 

Examples:

 

Screen printing is one of the most cost-effective printing techniques. It is the industry standard for many electronics applications and ideal for high-throughput manufacturing.

 

Dispensing features airtight fluid management and supports fast-curing, low-temperature formulations. Perfect for precise, automated application.

 

Stencil printing is a highly accurate method for applying paste to printed circuit boards. It ensures consistent layer thickness and precise pattern definition.

Case Study: Fine Line Printing for Solar Cells

Silver remains one of the most cost-driving materials in solar cell production, especially in front-side metallization. At KCM, we demonstrate how our high-performance pastes enable fine-line printing with less silver, higher conductivity, and industrial scalability.

We implement our technology for both high-temperature PERC/TopCon and low-temperature next-generation cells, giving manufacturers opportunity to reduce costs, improve efficiency, and achieve more sustainable production.

High Temperature Pastes for Solar Cells

  • Printing speed higher than 500 mm/s
     
  • Feature size down to 16 µm in screen printing
     
  • Up to 19% less paste laydown 
     
  • Light conversion efficiencies of 23.53% on PERC

Low Temperature Pastes for Innovative Cells

Featuring copper and silver pastes to further reduce silver consumption.

Our Technology - Exceptional Conductivtiy

At KCM, we develop electrically and thermally conductive pastes based on a novel physical principle. Our self-organizing particle networks form conductive pathways for more efficient material use. This delivers more than 30% higher conductivity.

It enables us to reduce particle content, like silver, without performance loss, while improving mechanical properties, reducing costs and boosting sustainability.

Since our concept is material-independent, it offers benefits in various applications which requieres different conductive materials. It works across formulations and printing methods like screen printing, dispensing, and stencil printing. Do not hesitate to conatct us to discuss your application.
