Microwave Absorber Rubbers

 Download as PDF
e-Rad are composed of a series of flexible elastomers filled with high dielectric fillers for superior absorption of microwave in low thickness configuration. The materials are designed for outdoor resistance and wide temperature range performance.
The materials are available in sheet form in every thickness with or without pressure sensitive adhesive. For demanding performance it can be easily bonded to metal surfaces by selected adhesives.
These materials are also available as custom molded parts for better adaption to complex shapes.
Material composition can be tailored for specific technical performance.
