STRONGER BONDING DELIVERS IMPROVED SPUTTERING PERFORMANCE
Materion’s Silvertech PT-1 is a two-part, conductive silver-filled epoxy that replaces metallic bonding for high-temperature sputtering operations. Our popular formulation precisely balances the ratio of silver powder and epoxy resin to create better bonding for electronic and optoelectronic applications.
SILVERTECH PT-1 EPOXY OFFERS ADVANTAGES
Materion’s multi-purpose silver-filled epoxy is suitable for a variety of bonding applications, and provides many advantages such as:
- Maximizing thermal & electrical conductivity to ensure optimal processing performance
- Creating a strong mechanical bond to prevent premature sputtering target failure
- Improving the oxidation resistance
- Available in single-use kits based on target size to ensure long-lasting bond strength
