Applications

With increased attention focused on advanced radar systems and satellite communications, the selection of improved microwave and RF transparent materials become increasingly important. TenCate Advanced Composites – a leading supplier of specialty formulated resin systems has met this challenge by producing some of the most electrically efficient materials developed for these applications.

Material thickness, low loss tangent and low dielectric properties are three principal factors in tuning composite radomes for the maximum transmission efficiency. Many TenCate Advanced Composites resin systems offer state-of-the-art electrical properties, flexible cure temperatures and low moisture absorption characteristics that have proven successful in a variety of high performance ground and airborne radome applications. These technological achievements can be found on programs such as Patriot Missile, Lockheed Martin F22, Gulfstream IV, and others.
