The insertion loss remains constant over a range 1 to 8 GHz. Special requirements
for thickness and insertion loss can be provided on request. Similarly, data on
dielectric constant can be provided for specific versions of this material. The
permittivity of the different versions of this material will vary.
5.0
APPLICATION
These materials can be used where a lossy microwave filler material is needed.
6.0 BONDING
AEMI type AES/AEPF can be readily cut to shape and bonded using most types of
contact adhesives.
7.0 BOND STRENGTH AND TENSILE STRENGTH
Measurements have been made bonding with AEMI adhesive AEA-175 and a bond
strength of 8 PSI was found consistent in all samples. The tensile strength of the
foam product is 15 PSI.
8.0
FLAMMABILITY
These materials have several chemical additives to make the product highly flame
retardant. The material will meet the requirement. of NRL 8093 tests 1, 2, & 3 .
