Tight batch-to-batch tolerance • Wide Dk range from 2.6 up to 23 • Lower weight and better impact resistance than ceramics • Isotropic material suits well for narrow beam widths (less than 0.2°) • Injection molding for complex shapes • Low cost mass manufacturing Whether we are talking about portable satellite terminals or stationary land stations, the material requirements are alike: reliable, low loss materials with low manufacturing costs, light weight and the ability to form complex shapes. Unlike ceramics, PREPERM patch antennas are not brittle and can be mass produced by injection molding.

These advanced materials will help increase speed to market and design flexibility for 5G base station antenna manufacturers. New customizable Edgetek Formulations for 5G feature specific Dk values and reduced dissipation factors (Df), enabling faster design qualification and shorter lead times. Both materials can help 5G base station antenna manufactures to streamline their design and process development.

At Packaging of Perfume Cosmetics & Design (PCD, booth #AB17), the company is illustrating the impact of soft-touch TPEs with gold, silver and copper effects and featuring an inspirational portfolio based on the 2017 InVisiOSM Color Inspiration Wanderlust collection from PolyOne Color and Additives.  As the popularity of the metallic look continues to soar, packaging designers are looking for new ways to capitalize on this trend,” said Charles Page, global marketing director, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.

Beyond providing impact protection performance, these specially designed TPEs enable designers, engineers, and product managers to improve abrasion resistance, design thinner cases, and tell a new story for their phone case design.

Additionally, Versaflex FFC helps address the challenges associated with the global silicone rubber supply chain and can help design engineers get new products to market more quickly. However, compliance does not depend solely on the right polymer formulation, but also on the design of the finished article. Avient’s expertise lies not only in formulation development but also in helping customers optimize their product design and increase the likelihood that the end product will be compliant.

Its design team determined the need for a soft-touch material with strong chemical resistance and color stability for the mouse grip.  Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs.
