"Innovative Market Solutions to Help Businesses Make Informed Decisions"
Liquid crystal polymer commonly called as LCP are class of aromatic polymers that are inert and extremely unreactive. These polymers have high strength, resistance to stress cracking in presence of various chemicals that include aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, strong acids, bases, ketones and other extremely violent chemicals. It has excellent hydrolytic stability even in boiling water.
The increasing demand from electrical and mechanical application attributed to its exceptional properties like stiffness, high strength, and high tolerance. It is mainly used in drug delivery systems, wearables, and other medical devices. Additionally, the high flowability, low dielectric constant and high resistance to heat is expected to create demand from medical sector for various new and innovative devices.
However, growth of the medical grade liquid crystal polymer market is expected to limit due to the higher cost of LCP compared to other alternatives like ABS and Nylon.
Key Market Driver -
Increasing demand from medical sector.
