Introduction to MAGRAM DD Series
The MAGRAM DD Series offered by Hexcel HexPly is a highly flexible and innovative solution for RF interference control. With excellent environmental properties and a UL94-V0 rating, this series operates in a wide temperature range from -60°F to 375°F (-50°C to 190°C). MAGRAM DD combines the superior energy absorption properties of high-performance magnetic materials with the desirable physical properties of silicone. This results in a thin, flexible resonant absorber that can be tuned to either narrow or broadband frequencies based on the filler selection.
Product Overview and Applications
MAGRAM DD is a silicone rubber-based microwave absorber that can be finely tuned for narrowband mode suppression in enclosed cavities, signal isolation, and surface current attenuation. It is mechanically stable, resistant to extreme environments and temperatures, and possesses good tensile strength, elongation, tear strength, and compression set, characteristics that surpass conventional rubbers. Moreover, being halogen-free and compliant with RoHS and REACH, MAGRAM DD is ideal for applications where attenuating frequencies ranging from 500 MHz to 40 GHz are crucial. The product is particularly effective for specular return (RCS, aircraft exteriors, etc.), surface current reduction, system isolation (antenna, circuit components), high-temperature resistance, and when UL94-VO compliance is required.
Effectiveness of MAGRAM DD
The effectiveness of MAGRAM DD lies in the inert nature of silicone rubber, ensuring no reaction with most chemicals. The selection of fillers further enhances its absorptive capabilities. This makes MAGRAM DD an ideal choice for scenarios where the unique properties of silicone can be leveraged, especially in challenging environmental conditions. By combining fillers with various binders from the MAGRAM series, tailored solutions can be crafted for specific interference control needs.
