LCP materials are a class of aromatic polymers that exhibit exceptional strength and rigidity. Five times stronger than steel and ten times stronger than aluminum. LCP resin can replace some materials such as ceramics, metals, composites, and other plastics because its properties perform very well in harsh environments, including heat resistance and tolerance, high electrical resistance, excellent chemical resistance, inherent flame retardancy, good weather ability, and biocompatibility for medical applications.
- Good Chemical Resistance: Resistant to hydrolysis, weak acids and bases, alcohols, chlorinated hydrocarbons, esters, and ketones…
- High Dielectric Strength: The dielectric strength of liquid crystal polymer is much higher than common plastics.
- Excellent Resistance to creep, fatigue, high impacts, cuts, and abrasion.
- Good Cycle Repeatability: LCP's high melt flow and low thermal expansion in the direction of molecular orientation allow thin-walled parts to be easily molded without the part warping.
- Outstanding Dimensional Stability
