NEW PRODUCTS – ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) Coated Glass (50mm x 50mm) & PET Plastic (100mm x 200mm)
NEW PRODUCT – ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) Coated PET Plastic – 100mm x 200mm – ITO is a clear, conductive liquid/film and here we have it as a coating on a flexible plastic (PET) sheet and a 1mm glass sheet. This is a very interesting and fun material, also used in scientific research and LCD/OLED manufacture!
NEW PRODUCT – ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) Coated Glass – 50mm x 50mm – One side of the plastic is coated in ITO, you can use the flat of a blade or similar to scrape away some of the film to create ‘traces’. It may also be possible to use a laser cutter to pattern it. We’re looking forward to seeing what people do with this cool stuff!
It’s not possible to solder to this material, but you can use conductive inks, paints, copper tape (with conductive adhesive) and alligator clips to make contact.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

very exciting! i notice you physically scratch away the surface to remove the conductive layer, so it looks pretty durable. how does it hold up when exposed to (hot) water, detergents, sunlight, abrasion, etc?
