ClickTouch and CHASM Advanced Materials Inc. have finalized a partnership with ClickTouch becoming the latest member of CHASM’s Preferred Integration Partner Program. Membership gives ClickTouch exclusive access to CHASM’s AgeNT™ platform of high performance transparent conductive films and the Signis™ line of versatile CNT inks used to create transparent touch interfaces on a variety of substrates. ClickTouch has extended its product offerings including CHASM materials mainly to customers across Europe.
A history of innovation at both ClickTouch and CHASM forms the basis of an ideal partnership. As technology accelerates, product designers and engineers require new, advanced materials that enable their visions to become reality – especially in fast moving consumer oriented markets such as appliances and automobiles. With AgeNT transparent conductive films available exclusively from CHASM, product designers and engineers can innovate next generation products unbounded by the limitations of traditional electronics. Applications of AgeNT include transparent heaters for automotive headlights as well as flexible touch buttons and screens used in HMIs for appliances.
"As a company that strives to ’constantly be in evolution‘, we’re very aware of the impact that a new technology can have on the success of our client’s and their product lines,” said Cedric Blomme, Owner of ClickTouch. "Forming partnerships with companies like CHASM that offer a range of high-performance materials like AgeNT and Signis enables our team to continually develop new and innovative interface solutions for our clients giving them a unique edge in highly competitive markets – helping them drive more business.”
Companies requiring transparent conductive electronics in all industries are replacing traditional materials such as ITO and PEDOT with both the AgeNT and Signis to balance transparency the transparency desired with the conductivity required in a form that’s flexible and formable, offers superior environmental stability, plus is fast and economical to manufacture at scale.
"By creating beautifully designed and intuitive user interfaces perfectly suited to the end-customer’s applications, ClickTouch has developed an impressive list of clientele – particularly in white goods and automotive industries," said David J. Arthur, CEO and Co-Founder of CHASM Advanced Materials, Inc. "With the high performance capabilities of our AgeNT and Signis materials at their disposal, they will be able to offer a range of products not possible with other commercial alternatives. We’re excited to welcome ClickTouch into our partner network to be a part of realizing truly innovative transparent electronic solutions for clients across Europe.”

Fresh PCB Concepts: Designing for Success at the Rigid-flex Transition Area
08/28/2025 | Team NCAB -- Column: Fresh PCB ConceptsRigid-flex PCBs come in all shapes and sizes. Manufacturers typically use fire-retardant, grade 4 (FR-4) materials in the rigid section and flexible polyimide materials in the flex region. Because of the small size, some rigid-flex PCBs, like those for hearing aid devices, are among the most challenging to manufacture. However, regardless of its size, we should not neglect the transition area between the rigid and flexible material.
Global Sourcing Spotlight: How to Evaluate Supplier Capabilities Worldwide
