Celanese VECTRA B130 LCP, 30% Glass Reinforced (with extra stress-strain data)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP); Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), 30% Glass Fiber Filled

Material Notes: Exceptional stiffness and strength with balance of properties similar to A130. Extremely low CLTE and shrinkage. Highest Limiting Oxygen Index. Some loss in flow compared to A130. 30% glass reinforced.
VECTRA should in principle be predried. Because of the necessary low maximum residual moisture content the use of dry air dryers is recommended. The dew point should be =< - 40° C. The time between drying and processing should be as short as possible.
For subsequent storage of the material in the dryer until processed the temperature does not need to be lowered for grades A, B, C, D and V (<= 24 h).
