## Overview

Caswell's Graphite Conductive Paint is a water-based acrylic solution designed to add a conductive layer on plastics and other non-metal surfaces. Supplied in a large 4 fl oz bottle, it covers up to 10 sq ft and supports electroplating prep with 1-2 coats. While highly conductive in theory, user feedback suggests conductivity may vary, making it best suited for DIY projects requiring moderate conductivity and eco-friendly application.

## Description

Add a Conductive Layer Onto Plastics and Other Items Makes Electroplating Onto Non Metal Parts Easy Safe Water Based Acrylic Formula Graphite is highly conductive and this new formula allows for easier coverage and avoids losing fine details in the part. Apply 1-2 coats by brush and allow to dry. Can be thinned with water. Perfect for all plastics, wood, leather and organic parts (leaves etc). For organics, we recommend applying a lacquer based paint and allowing to dry first. Large 4 fluid ounce bottle will cover approx 5-10 sq ft. After paint has dried, apply acid copper or nickel by brush plating or tank plating.

Review: Only barely conductive - I attempted to use this product as a base layer to electroplate some plastic parts. The paint had a grainy, paste-like texture, and didn't self level well. I coated my part in the paint, and once the paint was dry, attempted to electroplate using Caswell's flash copper plug-n-plate. No luck with plating. I tried Caswell's nickel plate solution, still no luck. I tried messing with my electrodes, again no luck. Lightly sanding the paint - yet again no luck. I then put an ohmmeter on the surface, and pegged the max resistance of the meter. Ok, so I'm not getting surface conductivity. I mixed the paint up real good, put down a coating, let it dry, lightly sanded, and put a second coating on. managed to get a conductivity in the high 10K Ohm range over about an inch of length. I also had some copper conductive paint (actually, a Permatex repair paint for automotive rear window defrosters) that had around 10 ohms of surface resistance I laid down on another sample, just to compare. The graphite wouldn't brush plate, but the copper paint did. Immersion plating worked extremely well for the copper paint after just a couple of minutes, but after hours of immersion, the graphite paint only showed the slightest whisp of copper plating, and only in the immediate vicinity of the negative electrode. So I don't know if I simply got a bad batch of paint, or if this is indicative of the product, but its pretty clear it was a waste of money. Save yourself the hassle and buy metallic conductive paint.
Review: not very conductive and too chunky - you need to water this down a lot for it not to be sloppy and chunky but in doing so it loses conductivity
