Conductive paint

Conductive paint

Conductive paint

(OP)
Some years ago in a previous employment we used a metallic spray paint on plastic that was conductive after it dried.

It was possible to pass a 12v current through the dry paint layer. I now have a use for the paint again but cannot remember what it was, or who manufactured it.

Anybody got any ideas.

RE: Conductive paint

Not sure if any information at this point will be helpful, but for anyone else interested.  I have found a good source for spray/roll-paint/silkscreen coductive materials.  http://www.lessemf.com/paint.html  .  

I have recently been laying conductive ink/epoxy bus bars onto ITO flexible substrates, material being 118-41 conductive ink from creative materials.  The ink has excellent properties in terms of resistiance, temperature reactance, and flexibility.  The draw only draw back that i have found is the price.  $500 for about 150 gram sample.  I am going to be ordering some of the previously listed materials from lessemf source to see how it compares in performance, as it much less expensive.
