Why Choose TLX-8 Material?

1. Superior High-Frequency Performance

• Low Dielectric Constant (Dk = 2.55±0.04 @ 10 GHz)–Ensures minimal signal delay and phase distortion.
• Ultra-Low Dissipation Factor (Df = 0.0018 @ 10 GHz)–Reduces signal loss in high-frequency circuits.
• Excellent Passive Intermodulation (PIM) Performance (< -160 dBc)–Critical for 5G antennas, radar, and satellite communications where signal clarity is paramount.

2. Extreme Environmental Durability

TLX-8 is engineered to withstand harsh operating conditions, including:

• High vibration & mechanical stress (e.g., aerospace, military, and automotive applications)
• Wide temperature ranges (-55°C to +260°C)
• Moisture resistance (0.02% absorption)–Prevents degradation in humid environments.
• Radiation-resistant–Suitable for space applications (NASA-approved low-outgassing material).
• Flame-retardant (UL 94 V-0 rated)–Meets stringent safety requirements.

3. Dimensional Stability & Thermal Resistance

CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion):

• X/Y-axis: 21-23 ppm/°C (prevents warping under thermal cycling)
• Z-axis: 215 ppm/°C (controlled expansion for plated through-holes)

Decomposition Temperature (Td):

• 2% weight loss at 535°C
• 5% weight loss at 553°C (ensures stability in high-heat environments)
