Evonik ROHACELL® Applications

This product is typically used in printed circuit boards within the following industries:

  • Aviation
  • Aerospace
  • Antennas
  • Electronics
  • Radomes
  • Railcars
  • Shipbuilding
  • Military
  • Automotive
  • Medical/healthcare technology
  • Sports and leisure
  • Wind energy

Applications range from miniature antenna and X-ray and CT machines to radomes and mammography plates.

Other advantages include an extremely fine cell structure that ensures minimal resin uptake and problem-free compatibility with metallic facing materials due to the absence of corrosive effects.

Fine-cell materials can be processed by hand lay-up, prepreg, or vacuum infusion techniques at pressures up to 0.3 MPa and temperatures up to 130°C. Cirexx commonly uses ROHACELL® in place of an air spacer between radomes and elements in antenna application by applying the ROHACELL® to an antenna PCB.
