The dimensions currently offered within the range of Functional AgFlake products is designed to offset to many pure silver flake fillers currently on the market, with the benefits of lower cost, due to the glass core of these flakes. The glass core also contributes to reduced overall density of the flakes in use, this offers further applications into lightweight electronics such as the emerging wearable technology sector, as well as into aerospace materials.
As the manufacturer of the glass core, used to produce these conductive additives, Glassflake has the ability to manipulate the morphology of the glass substrate and therefore sizes of the Functional AgFlake. Changes to the flakes sizes can be beneficial in applications where higher conductivity is required and this can be achieved with a thinner and higher diameter flake to increase the available silver surface area for conductivity.
