- Extremely low absorption of radiation in the microwave range
- High tensile strength, stiffness and durability in a wide thermal interface
- Good workability
- Good thermoformability
- Good adhesive properties
- Good weldability
- Perhaps a high long-term operating temperature
- Low coefficient of linear thermal expansion
- Good electrical insulation properties
Usage area
Mechanically, thermally and electrically highly stressed structural elements, partly in case of need for transparency or parts that are often sterilized.
