VERSAFLEX™ CE TPEs FOR 5G TRANSPARENCY
Rapidly expanding 5G networks are increasing
performance requirements across the consumer
electronics industry.
These 5G transparent
TPEs combine the excellent physical properties,
aesthetics and UV resistance qualities of traditional
TPEs with lower dielectric constant (Dk) and
dissipation factor (Df) performance, resulting in
an advanced material solution with less signal
degradation for next-generation devices.
