LINQSOL LCP-GF30 | Glass Fiber Reinforced Liquid Crystal Polymer

Main features

30% glass fiber reinforcement
Excellent thermal properties
High mechanical strength

Product Description

LINQSOL LCP-GF30 is a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) reinforced with 30% glass fiber, offering an remarkable balance of mechanical properties, thermal stability, and chemical resistance. LCP-GF30 has greater strength and stiffness compared to unfilled LCP, making it suitable for demanding applications requiring precision and durability such as in electronics, aerospace, and automotive industries.

Key Features and Benefits:

Superior Mechanical Properties: The 30% glass fiber reinforcement increases the material's tensile strength, flexural modulus, and impact resistance, allowing for the production of robust and reliable parts.
Excellent Thermal Stability: LCPs are known for their high heat resistance, and this reinforced grade further enhances this property, enabling it to withstand high temperatures for extended periods. This makes it suitable for high-temperature environments and demanding processing conditions.
Exceptional Dimensional Stability: LCPs exhibit minimal shrinkage and warpage, ensuring tight tolerances and dimensional accuracy in molded parts. The glass fiber reinforcement further contributes to this stability.
Excellent Chemical Resistance: This material is resistant to a wide range of chemicals, including acids, bases, and solvents, making it suitable for harsh environments.
High Flowability: Despite the glass fiber reinforcement, this LCP retains good flow properties, allowing for the production of complex parts with intricate details.

General Properties

Specific Gravity

Specific Gravity
Specific gravity (SG) is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of a reference substance; equivalently, it is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of a reference substance for the same given volume.

For liquids, the reference substance is almost always water (1), while for gases, it is air (1.18) at room temperature. Specific gravity is unitless.

Mechanical Properties

Elongation

Elongation
Elongation is the process of lengthening something.

It is a percentage that measures the initial, unstressed, length compared to the length of the material right before it breaks.

It is commonly referred to as Ultimate Elongation or Tensile Elongation at break.

Flexural Strength
Flexural Strength @ 25°C Flexural Strength @ 25°C Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test. This is the flexural strength tested at Room Temperature, 25°C	169 N/mm2

Tensile Strength

Tensile Strength
The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can withstand while being stretched or pulled before failure.

Some materials break very sharply, without plastic deformation, in what is called a brittle failure. Others, which are more ductile, including most metals, experience some plastic deformation and possibly necking before fracture.

Tensile Strength

Tensile Strength
Tensile strength determines the resistance of a material to break under tension and it measures how much elongating load (or tensile stress) it can handle before fracture.

To make it simple, it measures how much force we have to apply when pulling apart a material before it breaks.
