Typical application
  • Excellent machinability makes Eccostock 0005 a good choice for custom microwave transmission line components.
  • Eccostock 0005 has been used as the spacer in Type N connectors and for other machined parts in coaxial transmission lines.
  • Machined parts are also used as waveguide supports, antenna insulators, and as complete microwave lenses
  • Optical clarity and good mechanical properties have recommended this product for purely structural applications.
  • Eccostock 0005 is able to with stand high voltages for producing gap switch houses, capacitors and other components.
  • High radiation resistance with little change in dielectric loss with exposures up to 1000m rads.
  • Other applications include material testing devices, surveillance equipment,radar windows, radomes and missile guidance system housings.
