LATI LAXTAR G/30 30% Glass Reinforced LCP  (discontinued **)
Categories: Polymer; Thermoplastic; Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP); Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), 30% Glass Fiber Filled

Material Notes: Description: Laxtar products are liquid crystal polymers (LCP). They offer exceptional performance together with increasing cost-effectiveness. Due to the outstanding fluidity at high shear rates LCPs can be injection-molded into long thin-wall components (as thin as 0.25 millimeter) at high speeds and by using very short cycle times. Moreover the thermal stability of Laxtar allows efficient use of high percentage of regrind. Laxtar meets the requirements of vapor phase and infrared soldering for surface mount assembly technology . Moreover they withstand high levels of UV radiation and are transparent to microwaves.

Specific Notes for this Material: LCP, 30% glass fiber, flame retardant UL94 V0, halogens and red phosphorous free
