I’m thinking that the main ash cloud should be visible to radar due to the density of the cloud Radar "sees" by reflecting off an object. Could be that this material "absorbs" the radar energy rather than reflecting it and therefore would not be seen by the radar receiver. Same way radar absorbent material on stealth fighters works.

I suppose that’s possible. But, with satellite imagery they can see the path of the ash cloud. Should be able to reroute flights based upon that.
