MacDermid Alpha Micromax 5065 Low Resistance Silver Conductor for RFID
Type: Silver Conductor Ink
Application: RFID, Printed Electronics
Solids: 68–71%
Shelf Life: 6 months
Micromax 5065 is a solvent-based silver conductor ink for printed electronics, particularly suited to RFID applications where low as-printed resistance is required. It uses a silver powder and resin system for high conductivity and outstanding RFID performance in both UHF and HF ranges.
Micromax 5065 from MacDermid Alpha is a solvent-based silver conductor developed for the printed electronics market. It is particularly well suited to RFID applications that require low as-printed resistance. The composition uses a silver powder and resin technology that delivers high conductivity, good printability, and high paste coverage. It is designed for semi-automatic and high volume reel-to-reel screen printing. Polyester, paper, and card are listed as compatible substrates.
The ink carries 68–71% solids and viscosity 10–20 Pa.s. Box-oven drying is 130°C for 10 minutes; reel-to-reel drying is 140°C for 2 minutes. Printed with a 200-mesh polyester screen, typical circuit line thickness is 10–12 μm. Pencil hardness reaches 5H on 125μm PET. Micromax 8260 is the listed solvent or thinner. Screen clean-up uses ethylene diacetate or methyl propasol acetate. Store sealed at 5–30°C; unopened shelf life is 6 months.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 5065 suitable for RFID antennas?
The TDS states that 5065 is particularly well suited to RFID applications where low as-printed resistance is required. It offers superior RFID performance in UHF and HF range, with low and high track thickness respectively.
Can 5065 run on reel-to-reel equipment?
Yes. The ink was designed for semi-automatic or high volume reel-to-reel screen printing. Reel-to-reel drying is 140°C for 2 minutes.
What line thickness can be printed with 5065?
Using a 200-mesh polyester screen, typical circuit line thickness is 10–12 μm.
How hard is the cured 5065 film?
Pencil hardness is 5H by ASTM, measured on 125μm PET film. This reflects the abrasion resistance of the printed silver layer.
What thinner should be used with 5065?
Micromax 8260 is the listed solvent or thinner. Using the recommended thinner helps keep viscosity and print behavior consistent.
Which substrates work with 5065?
Polyester, paper, and card are listed as compatible substrates. The typical physical properties in the TDS were measured on 125μm PET film.
How should opened containers of 5065 be stored?
Keep containers tightly sealed at 5–30°C in a clean, stable environment. Unopened shelf life is 6 months from shipment. Some settling may occur, so mix thoroughly before reuse.
