Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between LCP Type I, II, and III?

Type I LCP offers the highest heat resistance (HDT >300°C), Type II provides balanced properties with HDT 250-280°C and better processability, while Type III delivers lower cost with HDT 180-220°C for less demanding applications. We can help you select the optimal grade.

Q: Can LCP be reinforced with glass fiber or carbon fiber?

Yes, LCP is available with 15-40% glass fiber, carbon fiber, mineral filler, or glass/mineral hybrid reinforcements to enhance strength, stiffness, and dimensional stability for specific application requirements.

Q: Is LCP suitable for food contact or medical applications?

Select LCP grades comply with FDA 21 CFR, USP Class VI biocompatibility, and ISO 10993 standards. ติดต่อ us with your specific regulatory requirements for appropriate grade recommendations.

Q: What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?

MOQ typically starts at 25kg for sample orders and 500kg for production quantities. Standard lead time is 7-15 working days after order confirmation, with express samples available within 3-5 days.
