LCP polymer or Liquid Crystal Polymer is a predominantly aromatic polyester that has a special property profile due to its molecular structure. LCP polymers exhibit a high orientation of the molecules in the melt. This strong directional dependence (anisotropy) is intensified by shaping in the direction of flow. This leads to an anisotropic behaviour of numerous properties of the molded parts. LCP plastic has excellent flowability, which makes it particularly suitable for the production of thin-walled components. Therefore, LCP material is used in the electronics industry and in medical technology where installation space is limited and small and flat components are the desired result.
