Arlon's CLTE-LC is a ceramic-filled, woven fiberglass reinforced PTFE composite engineered to produce a dimensionally and electrically stable, low water absorption laminate with a nominal dielectric constant of 2.94. It is designed to offer all of the same properties and functionality as Arlon's CLTE, but, in most cases, at a reduced cost.

CLTE-LC is engineered to minimize the change in Er caused by the second order phase transition of the molecular structure of PTFE at 19°C. This temperature stability simplifies circuit design and optimizes circuit performance in many microwave applications, such as phased array antennas. CLTE-LC provides reduced Z-direction thermal expansion (nearer to the expansion rate of copper) improving plated hole reliability as it remains stable in thermal cycling experienced in process, assembly and finished PCB use. CLTE-LC also provides high thermal conductivity to allow heat dissipation for improved performance in high-powered circuits.
