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.
