Five Star Technologies, Inc. ("Five Star") will open a Representative Office in Shanghai on Beijing time 18th June, which to support local customers and develop its fast-growing solar inks business in China. The Shanghai site offers a central hub from which Five Star will support Yangtze Delta Area customers and the entire China market. The office will be led by Xinyu Liu, Director, Business Development for Five Star China.

Five Star Technologies, based in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, markets the ElectroSperse line of high performance contact inks for the photovoltaics market. Five Star uses its patented cavitation process technology to create inks with unmatched particle uniformity and particle sizes in the low to sub-micron range. ElectroSperse solar inks develop denser, more conductive grid lines, lower contact resistance, and more predictable emitter layer penetration, all of which help customers improve efficiency and produce more watts per cell.

ElectroSperse™ S-500 series silver front side contact inks can be screen printed to grid lines as narrow as 75 µm, while also achieving consistent contact to emitter layers. S-500 inks fire to very dense structures with low series resistances, enabling low cost of ownership for the user. New additions include ElectroSperse S-546, a high solids products for high aspect ratio printing, and ElectroSperse S-570, specially formulated to contact high resistivity shallow emitters. ElectroSperse S-680, aluminum back surface field ink, is a RoHS-compliant, low-bow formulation tailored to work effectively in conjunction with the front side inks.

"Five Star continues to develop and commercialize advanced inks for the solar industry. We are pleased to open a new office in Shanghai, allowing us to collaborate more closely with our customers in the region. It is the beginning of a great future for Five Star in China," said Timothy Fahey, Vice President, Business Development.
