ECCOSORB® CRS - High-Loss, Castable RTV Silicone Absorber

• Castable RTV silicone rubber with high-loss in the microwave frequency range. Dark gray in color.
• When fully cured, ECCOSORB® CRS will duplicate the electrical properties of its counterpart in the ECCOSORB® MF series. For example, ECCOSORB® CRS-117 is electrically equivalent to ECCOSORB® MF-117.
• Being a true elastomer, ECCOSORB® CRS when cured, has a number of distinct advantages over rigid dielectrics of the ECCOSORB® MF type.
• For electrical and physical properties of the ECCOSORB® CRS series, please see the Technical Bulletin on ECCOSORB® MF.
• Frequency range from 1 - 18 GHz
• Low out-gassing properties

Applications

• ECCOSORB® CRS can be used to cast cones, wedges, and pyramids for terminations and loads
• It can also be used to fill cavities or be painted on surfaces to suppress the flow of currents. Therefore, ECCOSORB® CRS finds use in antennas and transmission lines. It has also been poured around the base of microwave tubes to prevent undesired energy flow
• ECCOSORB® CRS can also be poured in place to form microwave gaskets
• When bonded to surfaces, ECCOSORB® CRS will withstand temperature cycling (even to cryogenic temperatures). It can be deformed and shaped to contoured surfaces and are not subject to damage from impact or shock
