The commonly used Precision plastic injection molding parts materials: LCP
2021/11/3 875

In the previous article, we mentioned one of the Precision plastic injection molding parts materials-CPE. There are many commonly used precision plastic products injection materials. Today, we will show you a new material LCP that is often compared with CPE.

What is LCP?

LCP is one of the commonly used Precision plastic injection molding parts materials. It is the abbreviation of Liquid Crystal Polymer in English. As can be seen from the English words, liquid flow means that LCP will become liquid when heated.


What is the mold temperature when LCP is used with the mold?

LCP plastic raw materials can be molded at a mold temperature of 30℃-150℃.


What is the heat distortion temperature of LCP?

The heat distortion temperature refers to the temperature at which the plastic material is compressed and heated. At a certain temperature, the plastic raw material will begin to deform, but it has not yet reached a molten state. In order to adapt to high-temperature conditions and reduce the occurrence of welded joints or insufficient filling, we generally recommend choosing LCP+30%GF material, because LCP+30%GF can reach a heat distortion temperature of 265℃. LCP has good fluidity and good filling time. Short, fast curing speed, correspondingly shortened molding cycle. Generally, injection molding can be completed in 10 seconds to 30 seconds.

Where is LCP, the commonly used  Precision plastic injection molding parts materials generally used?

1. Relying on LCP's excellent properties such as high strength, high rigidity, high-temperature resistance, electrical insulation, etc., it is widely used in electrical and electronic fields such as quick connectors, coils, switches, and sockets.

2. LCP can also be mixed with other alloys to enhance the mechanical strength of the mixture. The outer panel of the spacecraft and the braking system outside the car have been researched and used.


Of course, a short article does not provide a comprehensive overview of LCP materials. If you have any questions about the plastic injection molding parts meterial, we will be honored to provide you with customized services, a trusted brand of Yize Mould!
