- Thermocomp™ Compounds For Dielectric Solutions
LNP™ THERMOCOMP compounds portfolio contains thermoplastic injection molding materials that offer low Dissipation Factor (Df ) for improved signal gain and longer reading distance paired with tailor made Dielectric Constants (Dk ) to fine tune or detour a signal direction supporting innovative antenna designs. Beyond that, THERMOCOMP compounds allow further antenna miniaturization and the design of phase shifters with higher productivity through combined high Dk and low Df material properties.
Typical Industry Requirements
- Materials for individual antenna design to fine tune or detour signal direction.
- Improved signal gain and longer reading distance through less signal attenuation.
- Miniaturized antenna solutions with sufficient signal strength for 5G technology.
- Improved mechanical performance versus Epoxy or Ceramics in more complex designs for less maintenance through longer lifetime.
Typical Material Characteristics
- Tailored Dielectric Constant Dk by customized compound formulations.
- Very low Dissipation Factor Df for lower signal absorption, less signal scattering.
- Combined high Dk and low Df with very high signal transmission density.
- Sufficient flowability for thin wall design, improved ductility, dimensional and dielectric stability versus current solution.

- ᵍ Measurements made from Laboratory test Coupon. Actual shrinkage may vary outside of range due to differences in processing conditions, equipment, part geometry and tool design. It is recommended that mold shrinkage studies be performed with surrogate or legacy tooling prior to cutting tools for new molded article.
- ⁷ Injection Molding parameters are only mentioned as general guidelines. These may not apply or may need adjustment in specific situations such as low shot sizes, large part molding, thin wall molding and gas-assist molding.
