Suitable Applications
for Eccosorb™ RF-LB

This is a silicone-based high magnetic permeability elastomer absorber capable of effectively suppressing low-frequency EMI noise. Eccosorb™ RF-LB is flexible and highly heat-resistant, making it suitable for automotive, telecommunications, medical, and industrial applications. Examples include suppression of radiated noise on CPUs, ICs, and circuit boards, reduction of cable crosstalk, and cavity resonance damping.

  • Frequency range: 10 MHz to 4 GHz
  • Absorption performance: 50 dB/cm or more at 2.5 GHz
  • Size: Approximately 30.5 cm × 30.5 cm, thickness: 0.5 mm to 3.18 mm
  • Material: Silicone-based elastomer

Suitable Applications
for Eccosorb™ RF-LW

This lightweight and corrosion-resistant thin microwave absorber achieves high attenuation rates in cavity resonance issues and surface current damping. It is also designed to address antenna-to-antenna interference, internal cavity resonance, and interference reflection, making it suitable for aerospace and defense, automotive, and consumer applications.

  • Frequency range: 800 MHz to 6 GHz
  • Absorption performance: 85 dB/cm at 6 GHz
  • Size: Approximately 30.5 cm × 30.5 cm, thickness: 0.25 mm to 3.0 mm
  • Material: Silicone-based elastomer

Suitable Applications
for Eccosorb™ GDS

This is a thin, flexible, high-loss silicone rubber absorber designed for high-frequency range. In addition to possessing high dielectric constant and magnetic permeability, its performance is unaffected even in high-altitude environments. Consequently, it is suitable for applications such as satellite communication equipment, radar detection systems, space applications, and optical equipment.

  • Frequency range: 18 GHz to 35 GHz
  • Absorption performance: 80 dB/cm at 20 GHz
  • Size: Standard approximately 30.5 cm × 30.5 cm, thickness: 0.76 mm
  • Material: Silicone-based high-loss elastomer
