VECTRA® FIT72

VECTRA® FIT72 by Celanese is a halogen-free, highly crystalline, thermotropic, self-reinforcing, non-flammable, inherently flame retardant liquid crystal polymer (LCP) grade reinforced with 35% mineral/glass. It forms a carbon char layer, retarding the development of flammable gases, under high flame temperature. 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 is processed by injection molding.

• VECTRA® FIT72 provides scratch-, abrasion-, excellent creep- and corrosion- resistance, outstanding rigidity, stiffness, very low heat fusion, excellent mechanical properties, toughness & strength, excellent property retention at cryogenic temperatures and offers time & money savings as well as longer pan life.
• It creates thin-walled complex components that demand dimensional stability, chemical resistance, solvent resistance and good tensile & impact strength.
• Exhibits low warpage, high 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.
• Potential applications include aerospace & defence, building & construction, consumer goods and oil, gas & mining.
• Also used in automotive & transportation, electrical as well as electronics, energy, industrial and textiles, fibers & filtration.
