Electric paint, also known as conductive paint, is a unique type of paint infused with conductive materials, allowing for the creation of electrical circuits or components directly on surfaces such as paper, wood, or fabric. It eliminates the need for traditional wiring and soldering, making it well-suited for prototyping, DIY electronics projects, and interactive art installations.

The main product types of electric paint include thermochromic, photochromic, and soluble conductive ink. Thermochromic electric paint changes color in response to temperature variations, offering a visual indication of temperature changes and providing an innovative solution for temperature-sensitive applications. This allows for real-time monitoring and control. The material product types include epoxy, polyesters, acrylics, and polyurethanes, used in various applications such as consumer electronic displays, solar panels, automotive components, aerospace technology, bioscience, and more.
