Dear all, I need to find a plastic which has the lowest Dielectric Constant and Water Absorption. I looked at Teflon and crosslink polystyrene, but I still want something better. Can you please point me to the right source for such info? Many thanks.   Modified by Cragyon at Mon, Jul 07, 2003, 14:49:44

Take a look at Noryl;Polyphenylene / PPO Dielectric constant is a little lower but the water absorption is a lot lower.

When you are considering Teflon you must be sure to look at the whole group of flouoroplymers. The Teflon name is a DuPont trademark. But Dupont puts the teflon name on three distinctly different fluoropolymers. There is PTFE Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene). There is FEP teflon Fluorinated Ethylene propylene . Thjere is PFA Teflon perfluoroalkyd. There are also other fluoropolymers such as ETFE, ECTFE, etc. If your application is electrical insulation, you may also want to consider Kapton (polyimide) materials.

I would get the free 14 day trail offer here at engineers edge and research that database. I think the banners say they have over 40,000 plastics data sheets. I believe that are searchable buy many different properties and criteria. Check it out here http://www.engineersedge.com/ides/ides_compare_product.htm
