The Benefits of Silver Filled Adhesives
In the realm of electrically conductive epoxies and silicone, there is nothing like silver. Not only does silver have very high electrical conductivity, it also retains its low resistance over many years, even decades. This is much more desirable than other metals that are highly conductive, such as copper, which lose their conductivity when oxidized. Not so for silver because silver oxide, unlike copper oxide, is highly conductive. Nickel is sometimes used as a conductive filler because of cost issues but realistically, it is best suited for shielding applications. And nickel will oxidize as well. Graphite is sometimes needed as a conductor because of magnetic considerations. But it isn’t nearly as conductive as silver although it retains its limited conductivity rather well. Finally, there is gold. On the positive side, it is highly conductive and doesn’t oxidize, but the cost makes it almost prohibitive. With conductive epoxies and silicones, there is nothing like silver.

One and two component, silver filled, electrically conductive compounds feature low volume resistivity and high reliability. They offer excellent physical strength properties, superior substrate adhesion and uniform electrical conductivity. They are often used as replacements for solder.
