Liquid Crystal Polymer Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing miniaturization of electronic component

Rapid miniaturization of electrical components such as connectors and surface mount devices is expected to remain a key driving factor for global LCP market growth over the next six years. Device or product miniaturization allows manufacturers to streamline devices to incorporate more and more features into smaller packages. For the past few years, the pitch/spacing between the contacts in electrical connectors has been getting narrower and can be as small as 0.2 mm compared to old-styled connectors with pitches/spaces exceeding 12 mm.

Increasing micro injection molding demand coupled with high-temperature resistance and flow properties are expected to drive LCP market growth over the forecast period. Thin wall designs pose challenges during injection molding of micro-connectors for devices such as computers, laptops, tablets, robots, and satellites. LCP possesses properties such as excellent insulation, high fluidity, high heat tolerance, chemical resistance, dimensional stability, flatness, and high stiffness.

Driver: Positive outlook on the automotive industry

Increasing demand for lightweight and high-performance materials to improve automobile fuel efficiency is expected to drive LCP market growth over the next six years. Automobile weight reduction is witnessed as a priority in the automobile industry as it lowers carbon footprints in the atmosphere. Stringent environmental regulations in regions of North America and Europe result in lower CO2 emissions.

Reducing vehicle weight by 450 kg enables an average weight reduction of 40g of CO2 and increases fuel efficiency by 8-12%. LCP is extensively used for under-the-hood sensors and controllers in automobiles. LCP along with heat resistance properties also attributes chemical resistance required to stand up against mixed gasoline-alcohol fuels and corrosive fumes. LCP also possesses mechanical properties for small power train and fuel system parts. LCP automobile applications also include fuel, ignition, and transmission components; lamp sockets, reflectors, and bezels; coil forms, sensors, and motor components.

Restraint: Warpage and low welding strength

LCPs are extensively used in electrical and automobile applications owing to their properties such as high modulus and strength. Thermotropic LCPs (TLCPs) are comprised of long-chain molecules coupled with rod-like character. These LCPs possess an ordered morphology even in the melt phase. LCPs low viscosity in a molten state permits easy processing. The defining characteristic of LCP is that the molecular chains tend to orient themselves parallel to each other along with layer formation imparting higher strengths. This orientation gives rise to anisotropy, which causes weakness and weld lines, where the material meets in various molecular orientations. The direction of thermal expansion is influenced by molecular orientation, which causes warpage problems in LCP. These issues are easily remedied by choosing appropriate gate locations, while injection molding. LCPs have strong anisotropic properties, especially in a non-filled material and this often causes molding problems such as warpage and weld crack. Companies such as Ticona Engineering Polymers and Solvay Specialty Polymers have introduced low-warp LCPs to tackle anisotropic properties and make them suitable for manufacturing materials.
