Liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are a family of high-performance plastics that are distinguished by having a special molecular structure, which results in a number of unique properties for the industry. In fact, LCP is so strong that it can even replace some metal parts.<\/p>\n\n

Some of the properties that differentiate liquid crystal polymers are:<\/p>\n\n

    \n
  • High mechanical resistance, as a consequence of the ordered structure of its molecules<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Low thermal expansion, for applications where dimensional stability is required under varying temperature conditions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Transparency, for applications where visual clarity or light transmission is required.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Low density, which makes them an ideal choice for applications requiring lightweight components, without affecting their mechanical strength.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    Although LCP has different properties than other materials, it has the added advantage of being processed by the conventional methods used for thermoplastics, such as injection, extrusion, co-extrusion, etc.<\/p>\n\n

    This ease of processing, in addition to the characteristics that place LCP above other resins, make it the material of choice for the most demanding applications.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
