Product Description

LOCTITE ABLESTIK ICP 8118  is an electrically conductive adhesive designed for applications that require a very fast cure at low temperatures. It is ideally suited for high throughput photovoltaic dispense processes and applications where high adhesion strength is desired. Low and stable contact resistance is achieved on noble metallization during reliability testing.

LOCTITE ABLESTIK ICP 8118 is a single component acrylate that displays excellent flexibility and is typically used for flexible interconnect in photovoltaic shingle applications.

General Properties
Shelf Life
Shelf Life
Shelf life is the amount of time after manufacturing that a product is guaranteed to retain its properties.

It differs vastly per product and it is based on temperature and storage conditions.

The properties can be guaranteed for the temperature and time range indicated on the TDS since those are the ones tested to be the best for the product.
Shelf Life @ -20°C 180 days
Specific Gravity
Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.

For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Mechanical Properties
Tensile Modulus
Tensile Modulus
Tensile modulus is a mechanical property that measures the stiffness of an elastic material. It is the slope of stress / strain curve of a material under direct tensile loading.

It can be used to predict the elongation or elastic deformation of an object as long as the stress is less than the tensile strength of the material. Elastic deformation is caused by stretching the bonds between atoms and the deformation can be reversed when the load is removed.

Tensile modulus is affected by temperature and is an important engineering attribute since we generally want to keep elastic deformation as small as possible.

Volume Resistivity
Volume Resistivity
Volume resistivity, also called volume resistance, bulk resistance or bulk resistivity is a thickness dependent measurement of the resistivity of a material perpendicular to the plane of the surface.

Additional Information

Protip
By applying a flat and thin 100-200um layer using JET dispensing or STENCIL printing (instead of one domed dot), we believe that the flow out and bleeding can be reduced by lower gravity forces.
