Vectra liquid crystal polymers (LCP) are highly crystalline, thermotropic (melt-orienting) thermoplastics that can deliver exceptionally precise and stable dimensions, high temperature performance and chemical resistance in very thin–walled applications.

Ticona has numerous patented LCP polymers that provide a wide range of price/performance options for many industries. Standard injection moldable grades with glass fibers and/or mineral reinforcements are available, along with specialty grades for applications requiring platability, improved lubricity, static dissipation and a whole host of other specific performance requirements.

Vectra LCP provides high stiffness in thin wall sections and a low coefficient of thermal expansion. It can withstand surface mount soldering temperatures, including those needed with lead-free solder. These properties have led to the use of Vectra LCP in many electronic applications such as sockets, bobbins, switches, connectors, chip carriers and sensors. Many grades have outperformed ceramics, thermosets and other high temperature plastics.

Vectra LCP has replaced stainless steel in medical applications. Several grades of Vectra LCP are compliant with USP Class VI guidelines and ISO 10993-1. They are resistant to gamma radiation, steam autoclaving and most chemical sterilization methods. Vectra LCPs are specified in numerous medical applications such as surgical instruments, dental tools, sterilizable trays and equipment, drug delivery systems and diagnostics.

Vectra LCP（液晶聚合物）是一種高結(jié)晶，熱致（熔融取向）熱塑性塑料，因此，在薄壁制件的應(yīng)用上，它具有異常高的精度、尺寸穩(wěn)定性，優(yōu)異的高溫性能和抗化學(xué)性。

泰科納有許多已經(jīng)取得專利的LCP聚合物，這些聚合物為許多行業(yè)提供了廣泛的性價(jià)比選擇。泰科納提供玻纖（和/或）礦物增強(qiáng)的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)注塑品級(jí)；此外還有滿足可電鍍，潤(rùn)滑改良，靜電消散以及許多其它特殊性能要求的特殊品級(jí)。

Vectra LCP在薄壁區(qū)域具有良好的剛性 , 并且它的熱膨脹系數(shù)又很低。它可以承受包括無鉛焊接等的表面安裝焊的高溫。這些性能使得Vectra LCP被廣范地應(yīng)用在許多電子器件上，比如插槽、線軸、開關(guān)、連接器、芯片支架和傳感器。許多Vectra牌號(hào)的性能已經(jīng)超越了陶瓷、熱固性和其它耐高溫塑料。

Vectra LCP在醫(yī)療應(yīng)用上已經(jīng)替代了不銹鋼。某些LCP牌號(hào)符合美國(guó)藥典VI和ISO 10993-1標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。它們抗伽馬射線輻射，并且適用于高壓蒸氣消毒和大多數(shù)化學(xué)消毒。Vectra LCP已經(jīng)在很多醫(yī)療應(yīng)用上被認(rèn)證，比如外科器械、牙科工具、殺菌托盤及設(shè)備、藥物傳輸系統(tǒng)和診療器械。
