PREPERM™ Thermoplastic Low Loss Dielectric Materials Broaden Avant's 5G RF Materials System

Shanghai - July 27, 2021 - Evante announced yesterday the addition of PREPERM™ low dielectric loss thermoplastics to its expanding materials portfolio to meet the needs of emerging 5G application markets
.

A variety of devices that rely on 5G technology are innovating in areas such as telecommunications, consumer electronics, automotive, and healthcare, which in turn depend on low signal loss at 5G high-band, millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies material
.
These high-frequency dielectric materials enable faster, more reliable connections for antennas, base stations, resonators, lenses, automotive radar, Internet equipment, and devices that directly serve end users such as routers and modems
.

PREPERM thermoplastics provide stable and controllable dielectric properties at mmWave frequencies, even up to 220 GHz, while achieving ultra-low transmission losses
.
In the dielectric constant (DK) range of 2.
55 to 23, the optimized material greatly improves antenna efficiency and enables lightweighting for 5G devices
.

These polymer materials, with the addition of Avante's application design and prototyping services, enable prototyping to achieve shorter lead times than ceramic materials traditionally used in communications
.
The PREPERM product line provides injection moldability and colorability services worldwide
.

Xu Tao, general manager of Avante's Specialty Engineering Materials Division in Asia, said: "With the large-scale growth of 5G network construction plans and user access in the next five years, design engineers and manufacturers need advanced materials to build faster and more Efficient network
.
PREPERM materials have better performance and lower system cost to meet various challenges compared to ceramics
.
These high frequency dielectric materials become a perfect complement to our current 5G solutions to meet the needs of this industry dynamic needs
