Liquid Crystal Polymers are used in many different sectors, from electronics and medical technology to industrial applications. The families of Vectra® LCP resins are easy to process in injection molding machines. This makes for fast production cycles, high flow in thin sections, and exceptional dimensional stability.

Vectra® Liquid Crystal Polymers can be processed by all conventional methods used for thermoplastics, including injection molding, extrusion, co-extrusion, blow molding, etc. They are distinguished from semi-crystalline plastics by their special molecular structure. In this guide you will find a detailed review of design guidelines for Vectra® LCPs.

This guide covers the following attributes:

  • Physical properties
  • Behavior in relation to environmental effects
  • Processing
  • Injection Molding
  • Extrusion
  • Design
  • Secondary Operations
  • Conversion Tables
