Composite Materials

 

SHEERGARD® M15-OS

M15-OS a SHEERGARD® microwave transmissive composite designed specifically for use in RF applications. The composite is made of fiberglass fibers and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) matrix. The “M” group incorporates a flat, plain weave in the structural substrate. M15-OS is a one-sided coated product used specifically for pre-tensioned planar radomes and antenna covers, within the temperature range of -100°F to +300°F.

Data Sheets: Imperial / SI

 

SHEERGARD® M26

M26 is a SHEERGARD® microwave transmissive composite designed specifically for use in RF applications. The composite is made of fiberglass fibers and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) matrix. The “M” group incorporates a flat, plain weave in the structural substrate. M26 is available in 158 inches, making it a popular choice for one-piece planar radomes
