With a dielectric constant (Dk) range
spanning 2.55 to 23, these materials are optimized
to boost antenna efficiency and deliver lightweight
solutions for 5G infrastructure and devices.
Ideal applications include antennas, base stations,
resonators, lenses, automotive radar, IoT (Internet
of Things) devices, and service providers’ equipment
that directly serves end-users, such as routers and
modems.

Because this material is injection-moldable, you can add
more electronics inside the housing and even reduce the device’s overall footprint.
Adding electronics, minimizing footprint –
Using Therma-Tech material for your housing allows
you to add more electronics without concerns of
excess heat impacting device functionality.

During injection molding, longer fibers align and
intertwine to form an internal skeletal network,
enabling a unique set of performance characteristics,
including:
• High strength-to-weight ratio which
facilitates metal replacement to achieve
weight reduction
• Added stiffness and strength to carry loads
while resisting creep deformation
• Increased toughness to absorb impact
forces without permanent damage
• High cyclical fatigue endurance to resist
cracking and crack propagation
• Mechanical performance that is retained
across a wide temperature range
• Improved dimensional stability with nearly
isotropic properties and low thermal
expansion
• Corrosion and chemical resistance
Long fiber composites provide a combination of stiffness, strength, and toughness performance
enhancements not available together when using other reinforcing methods, while retaining the single-
step processing simplicity of injection molding.
