• Electronics: Manufacturing of connectors, housings, and other components requiring high thermal resistance and dimensional stability.
• Automotive industry: Used in sensors, connectors, and parts exposed to high temperatures and chemicals.
• Medical technology: Production of surgical instruments and components that require sterilization and biocompatibility.
• Telecommunications: Components for antennas, connectors, and wireless communication systems.
• Consumer electronics: Used in parts for mobile phones, laptops, and other devices where compact size and high performance are critical.
• High mechanical strength: LCPs have outstanding tensile strength and rigidity, making them suitable for demanding applications.
• Excellent thermal resistance: These materials can withstand high temperatures, enabling use in high
• temperature applications.
• Low moisture absorption: LCPs absorb little to no moisture, ensuring dimensional and property stability in humid environments.
• Inherent flame resistance: LCPs are naturally flame
• resistant, improving safety in use.
• Excellent chemical resistance: They are resistant to many chemicals, including strong acids and bases.
• High cost: LCPs are expensive to produce, limiting their use to applications where their unique properties are essential.
• Processing difficulty: Due to high melt viscosity, processing LCPs is challenging and requires specialized techniques.
• Anisotropic properties: Material properties can vary depending on the processing direction, which must be considered in product design.
