* Development Product Information Sheet
Description
RP Au 130410-9% is a thin film conductor paste for use on
alumina and glazed alumina. It contains gold and a small
amount of non-precious metals in form of soluble organo-
metallic compounds. After firing a conducting gold film is
obtained.
Key Benefits
• Due to simultaneous sintering of non-precious metal
oxides it offers a high adhesion on above mentioned
substrates.
• To reach higher film thicknesses it is necessary to print
several layers on top of each other. Each applied layer
has to be fired separately.
• Free of lead, cadmium and nickel
• Free of phthalate
• REACH

Processing
1. Spatulate well prior to processing. When stored in a
refrigerator allow paste to come to room temperature prior
to opening, to avoid condensation.
2. Print through a 300 - 350 mesh stainless steel screen with
an emulsion thickness of 15 - 20 µm.
3. Let the print settle at room temperature for 10 minutes.
4. Dry at 90 to 120 °C for 15 minutes. Do not exceed peak of
130 °C.
5. Fire at 850 °C (peak) for 7 - 10 minutes and with a total
firing cycle time of 40 - 60 minutes.

1 Typical properties based on laboratory test methods. For optimum
results all materials should be fired in a profiled furnace supplied
with dried, hydrocarbon and other contaminant free air (PP-1).
2 Measured on alumina 96% after printing with a 325 mesh steel
screen; thickness of screen and emulsion combined was c. 15 µm,
and the resultant printed track was 500 µm wide.
3 REACH compliant according to the latest ** Annex XIV to
Regulation (EC) of the European Parliament and of the council on
the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of
Chemicals (“REACH”) by European Chemicals Agency and its
subsequent amendments: the material does not contain any
substance listed in Annex XIV.
4 RoHS compliant according to the latest ** Directives (European
Union) of Restriction of Hazardous Substances (“RoHS”) and its
subsequent amendments (including the exceptions related to Pb)
5 DFT: Dried Film Thickness; FFT: Fired Film Thickness
