1. Introduction of RF-35
RF-35 is an organic-ceramic laminate in the ORCER family of Taconic products. It is based on woven glass reinforcement. RF-35 is a result of Taconic's expertise in both ceramic fill technology and in coated PTFE fiberglass.

RF-35 is the best choice for low cost, high volume commercial microwave and radio frequency applications. And excellent peel strength for 1/2 ounce and 1 ounce copper (even in comparison to standard epoxy materials), a critical aspect whenever rework is required. And ultra low moisture absorption rate and low dissipation factor minimize phase shift with frequency.
