Frequently Asked Questions
How much conductive filler do I need to use?
Add more or less conductive filler to meet your conductivity needs. A general recommendation is to use 1.5 – 2 times the weight of the mounting media (for epoxies) and/or volume (for acrylics).
Adding conductive filler to a given media reduces shrinkage, extends cure times, and increases viscosity.
