How do low-dielectric hydrocarbon resins achieve “zero” loss signal transmission?

In the world of electronic communications, “the speed of light” is often merely a theoretical upper limit. In reality, as high-frequency signals race through the conductors on printed circuit boards (PCBs), they encounter ubiquitous resistance and energy loss. This invisible “friction”—primarily caused by the substrate’s dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df)—poses a significant challenge. For 6G communications, millimeter-wave radar, and space satellites—fields that strive for ultimate speed—the reduction of Dk values is not just an optimization effort; it’s a quest to push the boundaries of physical limits. In this ongoing challenge, Low-dielectric hydrocarbon resin (Low Dielectric Hydrocarbon Resin), with its unique molecular properties, is rapidly approaching the ideal state of “zero” loss in signal transmission.
The speed “slowed down” by the material
To understand the value of low-dielectric hydrocarbon resins, we must first grasp why signals “can’t travel fast.” Traditional epoxy resins, due to their relatively high molecular polarity, are akin to a highway paved with gravel. When high-frequency electromagnetic waves pass through, the polar molecules oscillate vigorously in response to the electric field, converting signal energy into thermal energy and causing losses. This not only leads to a reduction in signal strength but also introduces transmission delays.
At ultra-high frequencies ranging from 10 GHz to 77 GHz, this type of loss can be fatal. To ensure smoother signal transmission, we need a medium that’s even “smoother”—and hydrocarbon resin was specifically developed for just that purpose.
The “drag-reducing” magic at the molecular level
Low-dielectric hydrocarbon resin The core secret lies in its microstructure. Unlike conventional resins that are rich in polar groups, hydrocarbon resins consist primarily of carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds—a typically nonpolar structure.
To put it another way, if the signal is a racing car, then the low-dielectric hydrocarbon resin is a professional race track with extremely low friction. Thanks to its ultra-low molecular polarity, electromagnetic waves traveling through it experience virtually no “drag” from the molecules themselves. Through precise molecular structure design and modification, Disai New Materials has further optimized the resin’s spatial network, stabilizing its dielectric constant (Dk) below 2.5 and reducing its dissipation factor (Df) to as low as 0.002. These physical characteristics enable signals to pass through the substrate with minimal thermal loss and at incredibly high speeds, thereby preserving signal integrity to the greatest extent possible.

Disai New Materials’ Extreme Breakthrough
Although hydrocarbon resins possess exceptional inherent qualities, engineering them into practical applications is no easy task. Pure hydrocarbon resins often suffer from poor adhesion and insufficient heat resistance. In the course of developing low-dielectric hydrocarbon resins, Disai New Materials has not simply pursued low values for individual parameters; rather, it has been committed to achieving “performance balance.”
By introducing special crosslinking monomers and nano-sized fillers, Disai New Materials has successfully addressed the issue of dimensional stability in its materials. In particular, regarding water absorption control, water—a high-dielectric material (with a Dk of approximately 70)—once it penetrates the substrate, can instantly compromise the low-dielectric properties. Disai New Materials’ Low-dielectric hydrocarbon resin It exhibits exceptional hydrophobicity, as if giving the circuit board an invisible raincoat that ensures its Dk value remains rock-solid even in humid environments.
The “Highway” to the Future
Currently, this material, which pushes the boundaries of physical limits, is being widely used in cutting-edge electronic devices.
In the field of autonomous driving, it serves as the “retina” of in-vehicle millimeter-wave radar, ensuring that radar waves can detect objects farther and with greater precision. In the satellite internet sector, it acts as a bridge connecting sky and earth, enabling high-speed data throughput for Starlink. In next-generation AI servers, it functions as the “escort” for backplane signals, supporting the seamless flow of massive computational power without any loss.
Pursuing “zero” loss may be an unattainable ideal in materials science, yet every step closer to this limit represents a monumental leap forward in communication technology. Disai New Materials is... Low-dielectric hydrocarbon resin As a sword, it is cleaving through the thorns that obstruct signal transmission, paving the way for a true highway in the digital world. In an era where every millisecond counts, choosing a substrate with lower dielectric constant means securing a priority path to the future.
