...elby, North Carolina/USA, which had originally been planned for 2005, increasing its capacity by 40% to 8400t/a by 2004 (Table1). In 2004, DuPont took over the LCP sector from Eastman and now sells the former Titan product line under the name Zenite 5000. These materials round off DuPont’s LCP portfolio with grades showing extremely low warpage, high weld line strength and excellent impact resistance. Developing Materials Tailored to Demands Lead-free soldering, MID technology (MID: moulded i...

...e in a variety of applications. With LCP into the Future Liquid crystalline polymers (LCP) are characterised by very high toughness, heat resistance and low coefficient of thermal expansion. Among glass-fibre reinforced products, the Zenite LCP from DuPont can be found as a coil former and stator encapsulant in the torque engines of Soncboz SA. The mineral-filled E540i is “no typical LCP”, emphasises Ticona. The junior member of the Vectra family has a fine and – unusual for LCP – coloured sur...

...e segment of the LCP market. Leading manufacturers are further refining their products and developing new ones to meet ever-increasing customer demands in this market segment for, e.g., extremely low ion content (Ticona: Vectra T840; DuPont: Zenite 7738), even higher heat resistance (Ticona: T and S series; DuPont 9000 series; Sumitomo: 6000 series) and greater isotropy in properties (Ticona: A460). Increasingly a well-balanced ratio of dielectric constant to loss factor with low coefficients of...

...on density compared to conventional IC housings with improved heat conductivity and a decrease in the number of production steps (Fig.15) [2]. Also DuPont has announced the fact that its special liquid crystal polymer (Zenite LCP) for production of chip carriers according to the PSGA design method is being used by Siemens Dematic, Bruchsal/Germany. The dimensional stability and high temperature stability of the LCP are crucial conditions for the fact that accurate positioning of the contact pins...

Kunststoffe international, 2007-09-19, For High-End Applications
...irst Rynite parts are now being used in printers, lamp sockets and electrical/electronic components requiring a glow wire ignition temperature of 775°C according to IEC 60335. Two new grades, ZE55201 and ZE55801, have been added to the Zenite 5000 suite. ZE55201 is an ultra-low-warp material used to maintain flatness in elements such as connectors and chip card holders but also in larger components such as oven doors. ZE55801 is a palladium-doped, glass-fiber-reinforced LCP, which is highly suit...

... by Polyplastics, a joint venture run by Ticona and Daicel Chemical Industries. Sumitomo Chemical from Osaka produces a total of 5,000t/a in Harima and Niihama, Japan. Number three on the market is DuPont, which manufactures 3,500t/a (2005) of its Zenite brand in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. Further manufacturers are Solvay Advanced Polymers, Ueno and Toray. In terms of quantity, liquid crystal polymers play a subordinate role to engineering and even commodity plastics. But manufacturers such as...

Kunststoffe international, 2008-09-23, Set for Special Applications
.... In automotive applications polymeric materials are found which in the engine compartment area are progressively substituting metallic materials. These have direct contact with hot engine oil. The inherently nonflammable liquid crystalline plastic, Zenite, allows the low-cost production of light sockets in which it replaces ceramics. Hall B4, booth 4201 PolyOne Wide Range of Novelties By acquiring the GLS Corporation the PolyOne Corporation, Assesse, Belgium, has redoubled its commitment to the...
