ECCOSORB® MCS is a thin, flexible, magnetically loaded, silicone rubber material that is electrically non-conductive. This product is particularly suitable for cavity resonance reduction applications in the 800 MHZ to 6 GHz range. ECCOSORB® MCS is an extremely versatile product due to its low out-gassing and UL-94 V1 fire retardant rating. It can be easily cut with a knife or die and can be held in place with an optional Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) designated as SS6M.
When placed within a cavity ECCOSORB® MCS has proven to be very effective at dampening resonances due to its high permittivity and permeability. It can also be used to suppress surface currents and to modify antenna patterns, act as an attenuator in transmission lines or reduce the radar cross section of objects. It is also useful in reducing RF coupling of antennas and microwave components. ECCOSORB® MCS is impervious to moisture and can be subjected to high altitudes including space with no adverse effects.
