The key to high performance is Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics RAYDEL^® family of microwave transmissive PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) Teflon^® composites. They combine PTFE with specially woven structural fabrics utilizing fiberglass, aramid (Kevlar^®), and similar high strength, high temperature resistant yarns.

Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics maintains complete product control; from twisting and weaving the structural fibers to coating and laminating the woven reinforcements. Even the multilayer PTFE film used as a surface laminate is produced by Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics.
 

Key Characteristics:

• Low dielectric constant and loss tangent with minimal thickness as required to meet tensile strength design requirements

• Wide band RF performance

• Permanent hydrophobicity with unexcelled performance in rain

• Long service life (20 years+) virtually maintenance free

• High tensile strength, shear modulus, and tear resistance

• Nonflammable

• Heat weldable, permitting lap joints having strengths equal to or greater than the basic material

• Excellent solar rejection properties

• Capacity to include integral permanent colors
