Liquid crystal polymers (LCP) are thermotropic (melt-orienting), extremely crystalline thermoplastics that are naturally flame retardant. Although they resemble semi crystalline plastics, they have unique qualities.
Even in the melt, LCP molecules maintain their order and readily pass one another when sheared. The outcome is a very low melt viscosity, which makes it simple to fill very thin walls and replicate intricate features.
The Global EV Liquid crystal polymer (LCP) market accounted for $XX Billion in 2022 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2023 to 2030.
A new high-heat and flame-retardant grade of the company’s Xydar liquid crystal polymers (LCP), which is created to satisfy crucial safety requirements in EV battery components, has been introduced, according to Solvay, a leader in the specialty materials market worldwide.
The battery module plates of EV models working with higher voltage systems are the target market for the new Xydar LCP G-330 HH material, which addresses demanding thermal and insulation requirements. Xydar LCP G-330 HH is a glass-filled LCP for injection moulding that can maintain its electrical shielding after being exposed to 400°C for 30 minutes.
Without the use of halogen or bromine compounds, Xydar LCP is a polymer that is naturally flame retardant. It also provides exceptional flowability, which enables battery makers to create thinner parts than they could with traditional battery module insulation materials like polycarbonates or aerogels. With plates that were moulded with the typical dimensions of 100 x 150 x 0.5 mm, it was effectively tested.
Numerous electrical and electronic uses as well as coating applications have successfully used Xydar® LCP. A more sophisticated illustration of e-mobility includes thin-wall slot liners used in the rotor construction of an electric drive traction motor, in addition to automotive lighting components, sensors, solenoids, and connectors.
In addition to Solef® PVDF for binders and separators, Ryton® PPS for coolant line connectors and vents, and Amodel® PPA for connectors and busbars, Solvay’s battery solutions portfolio now contains Xydar® LCP G-330 HH.
