It is specified for insertion loss through the material, rather than reflectivity off a metal backing. Typical uses include antenna isolation, cavity attenuation, EMI reduction and dual-use air-filter \/ absorber layers where airflow is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsertion loss is measured in a transmission-tunnel set-up. See MAST Tech Bulletin 103 and the thickness-specific data sheets below for the laboratory plots. Those plots are laboratory results and are not a room or enclosure certification. MF22 can still be used in shielded-enclosure work where insertion loss is the better metric than reflectivity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstant-loaded lossy foam for broadband insertion loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight and easy to cut to size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptional 0.005 in pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing — order suffix 01\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoHS compliant and halogen free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be die-cut or CNC-cut; do not hot-wire, laser or grind\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTypical applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAntenna pattern control, sidelobe and backlobe reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResonant cavity attenuation and EMI reduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRx\/Tx antenna isolation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-use air filter \/ EMI absorber\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFamily: MF22 lossy foam absorber, constant loading\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColour: black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating temperature: −60°F to 250°F (−51°C to 121°C)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard sheet size: 24 × 24 in (610 × 610 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormats: sheets, die-cut, kiss-cut pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdhesive option: none (SKU suffix 00) or 0.005 in \/ 0.12 mm PSA (suffix 01)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectrical test method: transmission-tunnel insertion loss (MAST Tech Bulletin 103)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThickness \/ SKU\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMF22-0001-00 — 0.125 in (3.2 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMF22-0002-00 — 0.250 in (6.4 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMF22-0003-00 — 0.500 in (12.7 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMF22-0009-00 — 1.000 in (25.4 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerformance changes significantly with thickness.
