Eccosorb®CRS
Two-Part Castable Silicone Load Absorber
TWO-PART CASTABLE SILICONE LOAD ABSORBER
Eccosorb CRS is a series of castable, magnetically loaded, RTV silicone rubber materials with high-
loss in the microwave frequency range. When fully cured, Eccosorb CRS will duplicate the
electrical properties of its counterpart in the Eccosorb® MFS series. For example, Eccosorb CRS-
117 is electrically equivalent to Eccosorb MFS-117. Being a true elastomer, Eccosorb CRS, when
cured, has a number of distinct advantages over rigid materials of the Eccosorb MF type. For
electrical and physical properties of the Eccosorb CRS series, please see the datasheet on
Eccosorb MF.

APPLICATIONS
• Eccosorb CRS can be used to cast cones, wedges and pyramids for terminations and loads.
• It can be used to fill cavities or can be painted on surfaces to suppress the flow of currents.
This product line finds use in antennas and transmission lines.
• Eccosorb CRS can also be poured in place to form microwave gaskets, where a sheet elastomer
would not fit. It can also be poured around the base of microwave tubes to prevent undesired
energy flow.
• When bonded to surfaces, Eccosorb® CRS will withstand temperature cycling (even to
cryogenic temperatures). It can be deformed and shaped to contoured surfaces and is not
subject to damage from impact or shock.
AVAILABILITY
• Eccosorb CRS is available in 2 grades : CRS-117 & CRS-124.
• Eccosorb CRS is supplied as a 2-part system, consisting of a Part A(resin) and Part B (catalyst).
• Please contact your local supplier for available sizes and packages, as there might be some
regional differences.
