ECCOSORB
®
LS is the most widely known, used, and
recommended urethane foam sheet product.
High loss, low density, and very flexible
ECCOSORB
®
LS obtains it’s microwave properties via a
carbon loading system and is therefore, electrically
conductive
Very low cost solution for many applications over the
thinner, more expensive rubber absorbers
Not weatherproof but can be supplied with a weather
resistant CERSEAL coating,
see Availability below
If UL-94-HF-1 fire retardancy is a requirement, see
ECCOSORB
®
QR-13AF
Can be easily cut with a knife, scissors, or die
Instructions for Use
•
•
Being electrically conductive ECCOSORB
®
LS could
cause a short in some microwave circuits, but only if
the material comes in contact with components,
see
PEF film under Availability
For high loss applications, ECCOSORB
®
LS-28 and
LS-30 are recommended
ECCOSORB
®
LS can be securely bonded to itself or to
other materials such as metal, wood, and common
plastic composites. The recommended adhesive is
ECCOSTOCK
®
13-111-NF if not ordered from the
factory with a PSA.
Typical Properties
Applications
•
ECCOSORB
®
LS is used to lower cavity Q’s in RF
amplifiers, oscillators, cabinets containing microwave
devices, computer housings, LNB’s, and isolation of
antennas by insertion loss
ECCOSORB
®
LS is also used to reduce surface currents
on radiating elements and outer ground-plane type
surfaces.
Reflectivity of an object (metal or otherwise) can be
reduced somewhat by applying one or more layers of
ECCOSORB
®
LS to its surface

LS can be supplied with a CERSEAL
coating to prevent moisture uptake in high humidity to
moderately wet environments upon special request
For applications requiring ECCOSORB
®
LS to be in
close contact with electrical components, a PEF film is
available on request to prevent electrical shorts
ECCOSORB
®
LS can also be supplied with a Pressure
Sensitive Adhesive (PSA).
