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.

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 https://www.engineersedge.com/ides/ides_compare_product.htm
