The Additive Circuitry Technology That Is The Catalyst For Ubiquitous RFID.

Introducing MacDermid MicroCat, the only combined printing and plating process utilizing proven technology that can satisfy the demand for high volume advanced circuitry — at a uniquely low cost. An evolution of additive circuitry technology that eliminates critical barriers to the global penetration of RFID, MicroCat delivers the superior performance, supported by worldwide resources, that you expect from MacDermid.

MicroCat is designed specifically to enable efficiencies throughout the supply chain by requiring only a three step process from printing to plating. Manufacturing cost analysis shows significant material and labor savings due to non-noble metal circuitry and reduced steps. The electroless copper conductivity and plating uniformity of the MicroCat process also offers RFID makers greater "read distances" than printed conductive inks.

When it comes to satisfying the needs for affordable circuitry for consumer, industrial and RFID demands, count on the company that says “Yes We Can.” MacDermid.
