Bare Conductive’s main product, Bare Paint, is a non-toxic material – like a paint – that can be applied to all types of material. When dry it becomes electrically conductive so it can perform tasks such as trigger a switch or make an information request on a computer.
London-based Bare Conductive makes paint that conducts electricity.
The paint can be used on a variety of surfaces including paper, plastic, wood, cardboard, or glass.
Electric paint is used with a circuit board which can then be connected to a computer or a switch.
The paint, which acts as a sensor for the device, is activated when you hover over it.
The paint can be used for mostly creative projects, or to do things like draw a light switch onto a wall.
Electric paint uses carbon to conduct electricity.
“Inside of this liquid, there are lots of small particles of carbon. When the liquid dries, those particles get closer together,” Bare Conductive CEO and cofounder Matt Johnson told Business Insider. “When the liquid dries, those particles get closer together over which the electricity can flow.”

Since its launch in 2009, Bare Conductive has sold over 200,000 products and the paint has been at the core of several creative projects, like an interactive wall, a music play table, or a sound mural.
You can get electric paint in a £6 tube or a £18 jar which lets you paint almost a square metre. They also sell kits with printed sensors, cables, and circuit boards.

Founded in 2009 by four graduates, Bare Conductive has already launched two successful Kickstarter campaigns.
The company started in 2009 In 2009, Matt Johnson and three of his classmates at the Royal College of Art in London invented a paint that could conduct electricity. After painting a few simple circuits on the walls, they formed a hardware start-up based on their paint
“We weren’t planning on commercialising it afterwards, but the project received so much attention and people started emailing us asking whether they could buy the paint. So we were shown that there was demand.
“You can create smart sensing technology on unexpected materials and surfaces and that’s what I find really fascinating about it,” said Lizardi.
“We were a bit unique in the sense that we started with a big group, and we’re all still here.
“Individuals start a business and struggle to find a partner that complements the skills that they have, but also is as devoted to the project. The flip-side is that one person can just make decisions and run. Whereas with four of us there’s a lot of negotiation, but you also have a lot of resources to do all the work. We started out with fairly similar backgrounds even though our studies were different, we were on the same course. We were all product designers, so differentiating skills to where we are now was actually quite a transition.”
UX IN PRODUCT DESIGN
“The first thing was making sure the technology did what we claim it did. We also wanted to create an ecosystem of products that work together that are easy and simple to use – and follow the same vision.”
One way in which Bare Conductive incorporated User Experience (UX) was its adaptation of the conductive paint – they changed the packaging from a jar to a tube with a nib for easier application.
“With the hardware and the kits it’s all very much about the user journey. Out of the box the first thing you can do without programming after you power it on, is play MP3s that have been rerecorded to help you get set up. We spend a lot of time on our web resources and on making sure that the products are well documented and have tutorials.”
A KICKSTART
“Kickstarter was a way for us to get the funding to push that part of the business forward. What’s great about crowdfunding is that it’s never a failure because it provides proof of market – and if the campaign fails you know not to spend resources on that product.
“Our first Kickstarter campaign was in 2013 for the touch board. The conductive paint is dumb on its own – it needs power and hardware to make it intelligent. We made prototypes for this, but people wanted to replicate these products, but couldn’t without hardware that was easy to use. The difference between making paint and hardware is massive, not in terms of just production but also cost implications – it’s a completely different monster.”
“I think the reason our products appeal to STEM is because we make things easy to use. We tried to break down the perception that technology has to be difficult.”

Bare Conductive
Bare Conductive is a design and technology company that uses printed electronics technology to integrate electronics into the environment. Bare Conductive designs and manufactures technologies that transform surfaces and objects into precise, robust, and low-cost sensors. The company’s conductive paint and easy-to-use development kits letanyone prototype electronic visions of the future.
Bare Conductive was founded on 2009 and is headquartered in London, England.
London-based Bare Conductive makes paint that conducts electricity. It’s called electric paint and it can be used on a variety of surfaces including paper, plastic, wood, cardboard, or glass.
Electric Paint is a nontoxic, water based, water soluble, electrically conductive paint.
It can be used in circuits as a painted resistor element, a capacitive electrode or can
function as a conductor in designs that can tolerate high resistivity. It is intended for
applications with circuits using low DC voltages at low currents. Electric Paint adheres
to a wide variety of substrates and can be applied using screen printing equipment.
Its major benefits include low cost, solubility in water and good screen life. It is black in
colour and can be over-painted with any material compatible with a water-based paint.
