KDT Ceraset DI-200

Prepreggable Polysilazane Resin   

Through an exclusive license with Textron Systems to manufacture and distribute Ceraset DI-200 for U.S. Military and Defense Applications, KDT is proud to offer an organopolysilazane resin that is used in the manufacture of “polyceramic” matrix composites. In such composites the matrix has the characteristics of both a polymer (eg. high toughness) as well as those of a ceramic (eg. high thermal stability and hardness). Composites made from DI-200 possess exceptional electronic properties and thermal stability enabling their use in such applications as antenna windows and missile radomes.
Other remarkable features of DI-200 composites are its excellent dielectric properties and very low transmission loss which is very stable over the frequency band of 8-14 GHz.  A broadband tactical missile radome fabricated using a 2DQ/DI-200 composite has shown to be capable of surviving a Mach 4 to mach 6 aerothermal environment.  DI-200 quartz fabric composites have been used to fabricate radomes, antenna windows and other defense products where their excellent physical, electrical, and thermal properties are needed.  DI-200 has also been used to make high temperature syntactic foams with exceptional insulation properties.  Inorganic composites made with it have excellent thermal insulative properties.

The properties that set composites fabricated using KDT DI-200 apart from other materials systems include:

• Light weight and high strength
• Low dielectric constant
• STABLE dielectric constant of 3 from ambient temperature to 1098 °C
• Low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Ease of fabrication for multi-layered construction-B-stagable for standard lay up construction
