Fibres
Quartz fibre
Very-high-purity fused-silica fibre with low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and excellent thermal-shock resistance.
In simple terms
Very-high-purity fused-silica fibre with low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss and excellent thermal-shock resistance.
Best for
RF-transparent structures, radomes and high-temperature electrical insulation.
Watch out for
High cost, limited suppliers and more delicate handling than common glass fibres.
Typical applications
Aerospace radomes, antennas, microwave windows and specialist thermal insulation.
