Lavanta® 5115 WH 224

Lavanta® 5115 WH 224 by Syensqo is a polycyclohexylene terephthalate (PCT) compound reinforced with 15% glass fiber. Exhibits high heat stability, light stability and high reflectivity (>95%) along with excellent whiteness retention even after thermal and light aging. It offers low moisture absorption and excellent dimensional stability as compared to PPA. Lavanta® 5115 WH 224 can operate at temperatures up to 150°C unlike competitive PPAs that can operate up to 120°C. Provides enhanced processability against other available PCTs, which results in higher yields and shorter cycle times. It can be molded at a lower temperature (125°C) than competitive PCTs and still maintains 100% of its maximum crystallinity. It is suitable for processing by injection molding. Used in the production of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for televisions and backlight unit (BLU) applications and LED electronic packaging applications that utilizes surface mount technology.
