Features
CIP in Aerospace Applications
With its unique microstructure, CIP is a good absorber of microwave frequencies. It can easily be incorporated in plastic, elastomeric, or varnish matrices to provide efficient shielding of electronic equipment from electromagnetic interference and minimize reflection of objects exposed to radiation in the radar and microwave frequency bands.
