VECTRA® C130

VECTRA® C130 by Celanese is a halogen-free, highly crystalline, thermotropic, self-reinforcing, non-flammable, inherently flame retardant liquid crystal polymer (LCP) grade reinforced with 30% glass.

• It forms a carbon char layer, retarding the development of flammable gases, under high flame temperature.
• Exhibits scratch-, abrasion-, excellent creep- & corrosion- resistance, outstanding rigidity, stiffness, very low heat fusion, excellent mechanical properties, toughness & strength and excellent property retention at cryogenic temperatures.
• Offers time & money savings as well as longer span life.
• It has higher temperature capability, low moisture absorption, very low coefficient of thermal expansion, low smoke generation, excellent dielectric properties, withstands gamma ray sterilization inertness, non-toxicity and bio-inactivity.
• It creates thin-walled complex components that demand dimensional stability, chemical resistance, solvent resistance and good tensile & impact strength.
• Also exhibits easy flow, little or no shrinkage in the flow direction, excellent flex/fold characteristics, good vibration damping characteristics & shock absorbency and requires very little time to set-up or solidify.
• Suitable for processing by injection molding.
• Potential applications include aerospace, defence, building & construction, consumer goods, oil, gas and mining.
• Also used in automotive & transportation, electrical as well as electronics, energy, industrial and textiles, fibers & filtration.
• VECTRA® C130 complies with FDA and UL-listing V-0.
