Vectra liquid crystal polymers (LCP) are highly crystalline, thermotropic (melt-orienting) thermoplastics that can deliver exceptionally precise and stable dimensions, high temperature performance and chemical resistance in very thin–walled applications.
Ticona has numerous patented LCP polymers that provide a wide range of price/performance options for many industries. Standard injection moldable grades with glass fibers and/or mineral reinforcements are available, along with specialty grades for applications requiring platability, improved lubricity, static dissipation and a whole host of other specific performance requirements.
Vectra LCP provides high stiffness in thin wall sections and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. It can withstand surface mount soldering temperatures, including those needed with lead-free solder. These properties have led to the use of Vectra LCP in many electronic applications such as sockets, bobbins, switches, connectors, chip carriers and sensors. Many grades have outperformed ceramics, thermosets and other high temperature plastics.
Vectra LCP has replaced stainless steel in medical applications. Several grades of Vectra LCP are compliant with USP Class VI guidelines and ISO 10993-1. They are resistant to gamma radiation, steam autoclaving and most chemical sterilization methods. Vectra LCPs are specified in numerous medical applications such as surgical instruments, dental tools, sterilizable trays and equipment, drug delivery systems and diagnostics.
Vectra LCP(液晶聚合物)是一种高结晶,热致(熔融取向)热塑性塑料,因此,在薄壁制件的应用上,它具有异常高的精度、尺寸稳定性,优异的高温性能和抗化学性。
泰科纳有许多已经取得专利的LCP聚合物,这些聚合物为许多行业提供了广泛的性价比选择。泰科纳提供玻纤(和/或)矿物增强的标准注塑品级;此外还有满足可电镀,润滑改良,静电消散以及许多其它特殊性能要求的特殊品级。
Vectra LCP在薄壁区域具有良好的刚性 , 并且它的热膨胀系数又很低。它可以承受包括无铅焊接等的表面安装焊的高温。这些性能使得Vectra LCP被广范地应用在许多电子器件上,比如插槽、线轴、开关、连接器、芯片支架和传感器。许多Vectra牌号的性能已经超越了陶瓷、热固性和其它耐高温塑料。
Vectra LCP在医疗应用上已经替代了不锈钢。某些LCP牌号符合美国药典VI和ISO 10993-1标准。它们抗伽马射线辐射,并且适用于高压蒸气消毒和大多数化学消毒。Vectra LCP已经在很多医疗应用上被认证,比如外科器械、牙科工具、杀菌托盘及设备、药物传输系统和诊疗器械。
