GUP® C-Paste - GrapheneUP

Graphene-based conductive screen printing ink

Product Description

GUP^® C Paste is a graphene-based screen printing conductive ink for textiles produced with few-layer graphene GUP^® , designed to provide superior electrical and thermal conductive properties.

A graphene coating that offers
superior thermoregulation of your
body for maximum performance

Graphene based electrically conductive coatings can also be used as electric heater.
Due to their ohmic resistance, electrically conductive coatings can develop heat by the flow of electric current. The heat can be regulated by adjusting the voltage value.
This method of heating is most often used in medical clothing intended for patients, but also in sportswear for monitoring the fitness and physical condition of athletes during training.

Apart from mechanical influences, the action of heat plays a significant role in changes in the electrical resistance of conductive coatings. In addition to external heat sources, electrically conductive coatings are also affected by the heat generated by the flow of electric current through them. The increase in temperature in the conductive coatings, whether from an external source or due to the flow of electric current, results in a linear increase in the resistance of the conductive coating.

9 main features of resistive heating
coatings with GUP^® C-Paste

01
FAST HEATING

The graphene coating heats up quickly in 1 seconds and reaching working temperature in 8 seconds.

02
COMFORT

Unlike conventional resistive wire heaters delivers comfortable conductive and radiant heating through thin, lightweight, flexible and breathable fabric, without the discomfort of weight, hazards and overheating metal wires.

03
UNIFORM HEATING

Unlike conventional resistive wire heaters, the whole surface of the fabric is conductive, providing more uniform and foolproof heating with no local overheating.

04
DAMAGE TOLERANCE

Washing resistant, kink resistant, reliable and durable, it functions even if punctured, cut, spindled or mutliated and can withstand even high bending stress.

05
SMART-WEAR

The conductive heating coating can be used in e-textiles as well as electromagnetic and resistive heating applications and sensor applications.

06
SAFE & SUSTAINABLE

Uses a voltage from 3.7 to 24 Volts, that is lower than the safety voltage of humand body. All the formulations developed with GUP® are water-based, with no metals and no toxic compounds.

07
METEAL-FREE

No metals used, more comfort and no allergies to be invoked, do not oxidize or degrade.

08
FOR ANY KIND OF TEXTILE

The resistivity heating coating can be applied on any kind of textiles and fabrics. The heating as well as the heating power is completely customizable.

09
ENERGY SAVING

The conversion efficiency of electric heating is 99%, saving 15-20% of energy compared with traditional heating elements.

PROCESSING GUIDELINES & ADDITION RATE

ADDIGUP^® S is added to the host material to be processed. The product should be stirred well before use. The recommended loading range of ADDIGUP^® S is in the range 5-10 wt% calculated on the weight of the host material. The optimum dosage level should be determined with specific test based on the required performance, host matrix characteristics, processing conditions and presence of other fillers.
