High-frequency precision for advanced antenna applications

ROHACELL® 51 HF

At 52 kg/m³, ROHACELL® 51 HF sits between 31 HF and 71 HF in the ROHACELL® HF range.

ROHACELL® HF is a closed-cell rigid foam based on polymethacrylimide (PMI) chemistry completely free of CFC’s. With its extremely low dielectric constants and particularly favorable transmission properties at high frequencies, ROHACELL® HF is ideal for use in antenna applications.
