Product Description
Xydar G-930 Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) is a glass reinforced injection molding grade developed specifically for electrical/electronic applications utilizing surface mount technology.

The moldability of this resin is exceptional. Xydar G-930 can fill very thin walls over long flow lengths with little or no flash, even at mold temperatures below 200°F (93°C). In addition, it has low warpage in molded products and exceptional weld line strength.

This material exhibits high strength and stiffness (even at elevated temperatures), low coefficient of thermal expansion, high deflection temperature, inherent flame resistance, and outstanding resistance to most chemicals, weathering, and radiation.
