US compounder and distributor Avient (Avon Lake, Ohio; www.avient.com) has announced the expansion of its “Versaflex” CE line of thermoplastic elastomers with two patent-pending grades that provide transparency for high-frequency signals used in 5G applications with less interference and low signal loss compared to standard TPEs.
Versaflex CE 3140 TPE formulations for injection moulding are said to offer improved signal transmission up to the higher millimeter wave frequencies for lower dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) performance that results in less signal degradation. These frequencies provide faster data transfer, higher data capacity and lower data transmission times.
Targeted applications include cases for 5G phones and other mobile devices. The formulations are designed to outperform the industry benchmark for phone cases of less than 2.5 Dk at 37 GHz. At 40 GHz, the 65 Shore A grade provides a 2.49 Dk and 0.024 Df, the company said, adding that the 90 Shore A grade shows 2.54 Dk and 0.021 Df.
