Polymer thick film encapsulant and enhanced stability PTC carbon system

摘要

The invention is directed to a polymer thick film encapsulant composition comprising thermoplastic fluoropolymer resin and acrylic resin dissolved in organic solvents. The deposited encapsulant composition is processed at a time and energy sufficient to remove all solvent and form an encapsulant. The invention is further directed to using the encapsulant composition to form an encapsulant in PTC heater circuitry and, in particular, in PTC heater circuitry in mirror heater and seat heater applications.
