EMI/RF Absorbing Materials

Suppress Interference at the Source. Restore Signal Integrity.

Today’s electronic and RF systems operate at higher frequencies and in increasingly compact form factors. As components move closer together, cavity resonances, unwanted emissions, surface-wave coupling, and localized heat buildup can degrade performance, reliability, and signal integrity. MAST Technologies engineers absorber materials that solve these challenges at the source.

Source-Level & Dual-Purpose Materials

One Material. Two Critical Functions.
EMI Suppression. Thermal Management.

SUPPRESS-N-SINK™

Suppress-n-Sink™ 300 Series

Stop EMI at the Source. Dissipate Heat at the Same Time. In One Material.

Suppress-n-Sink™ 300 combines EMI/RF absorption and thermal conductivity into a single engineered material. Designed for direct placement on chips and electronic components, it simultaneously suppresses unwanted electromagnetic energy while transferring heat away from sensitive electronics.

Ideal for compact electronic assemblies where thermal management and EMI control compete for the same space.

Suppress EMI directly at the clip, module, or component
Transfer heat away from high-power electronic devices
Reduce component count in compact assemblies
