Impervious to moisture and can be subjected to moisture with no adverse effects
Low out-gassing properties for space applications
Can be cut and fitted to compound curves

Applications

When bonded to a metal surface, ECCOSORB® GDS will significantly reduce the reflectivity of metal objects or structures due to the flow of microwave currents on that surface and will dampen cavity resonances in microwave modules.
It can be applied to antenna elements, microwave dishes, the inner or outer surfaces of waveguides for isolation, attenuation, or modification of radiating patterns.
When applied to side or even rear surfaces of certain objects, ECCOSORB® GDS will cause a significant reduction in "head on" reflectivity or backscattering.
Although not intended as a specular absorber, it will reduce metal plate reflectivity by a few dB.
