The only low loss RF plastic dielectrics are teflon, polyethylene,
and polystrene. Capacitors made from polyester/mylar, polypropylene,
or polycarbonate with have something like 2% dissipation factor. IOW,
the Q will be only about 50. Also, they may have substantial inductance,
being rolled up. Not recommended.
