Thermoset cross linked styrene copolymer Rexolite sheet

Rexolite® polystyrene plastic exhibits good dimensional stability, excellent sound transmission characteristics, and optical clarity roughly equal to acrylic materials. The most notable feature of Rexolite®, however, is that it maintains incredibly stable electrical properties into gigahertz frequencies. This extremely lightweight plastic is easy to machine, and Upland Fab has the expertise to deliver high precision Rexolite® parts and components that match your designs exactly.

Properties of & Applications for Rexolite® Polystyrene

Manufactured by C-Lec Plastics, Inc., Rexolite® is a unique, cross-linked polystyrene, microwave plastic. It maintains a dielectric constant of 2.53 through 500 GHz, with an extremely low dissipation factor; it experiences very little change in dielectric loss and minimal mechanical deterioration in radiation exposure up to 1000M rads.

Rexolite® provides excellent rigidity and dimensional stability, and good chemical resistance. It is also a water-resistant plastic, and can withstand operating temperatures from -455° to 349°F (-270° to 176°C).

These and other characteristics make Rexolite® an ideal material for microwave components, high-frequency circuit substrates, antennae, sound transducers, nondestructive material testing devices, radar windows, and other demanding applications.
