2 Zenite LCP Overview LCPs and Zenite LCP Zenite LCP Specific Properties Products and Roadmap UL Considerations Comparative Data 2013 Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 2

LCP- Lyotropic or Thermotropic Lyotropic Very high melt point (~ 700 C) > Decomposition temperature Processed only in solution High intermolecular forces

3 LCP- Lyotropic or Thermotropic Lyotropic Very high melt point (~ 700 C) > Decomposition temperature Processed only in solution High intermolecular forces DuPont Kevlar Thermotropic Melting point 200 C to 400 C Melt processable Weaker intermolecular forces Vectra / Zenite LCP 2013 Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 3

4 General Attributes of Thermotropic LCP s Conventional Semi-Crystalline Resins Liquid Crystal Polymer Resins Melt Stress Solid State Even in the melt, LCPs are aligned in small regions like uncooked spaghetti. The polymer chains further align and slip over each other as they flow into the runner and part. Since they are already oriented when they stop flowing, there is very little heat of fusion (freezing) so the resins sets up very fast! 2013 Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 4

5 Comparison of Amorphous Polymers vs. Semi-Crystalline Polymers. Where do LCP s fit? Amorphous Polymers Semi-Crystalline Polymers Liquid Crystal Polymers No sharp melting point / soften gradually Random chain orientation in both solid and melt phase Do not flow as easily as semi-crystalline polymers Fiber glass and/or mineral reinforcement only slightly improves HDT Can give transparent parts Relatively sharp melting point Ordered arrangement of molecular chains and regular recurrence of crystalline structure only in solid phase Flow easily above melting point Reinforcement increases HDT considerably Part is usually opaque due to the crystal structure of semi-crystalline resin Melt over a range of temperature; low heat of fusion which is about 5-10% of Semi-Crystalline resins High chain continuity; extremely ordered molecular structure in both melt phase and solid phase Flow extremely well under shear above melting point yet tend not to flash due to fast freeze rate. Will flow even below melt point due to partial chain melting Reinforcement reduces anisotropy and increases HDT Part is always opaque due to the crystal structure of LCP 2013 Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 5

6 Why do Customers use LCP s? Very fast cycle times High short-term temperature resistance High long-term temperature resistance RTI up to 240 C Dimensional stability (Essentially no moisture absorption) Very high flow without propensity to flash Sections down to 0.15 mm Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (Flow direction esp.) Inherently flame resistant no added flame retardants Halogen and phosphorous free Extremely low out-gassing 2013 Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 6

Increase in differential can lead to increased stress and warpage Normal Parallel Shrinkage after molding Normal Parallel Shrinkage after annealing Increased in Normal Parallel Shrinkage after annealing Shrinkage during SMT is primarily cross flow which tends to increase and raise the total stress in the part Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 35

the less warpage for the same differential shrinkage, eg.

36 Warpage Empirical Data from Several Resin Families Calculated Warpage In General, Warpage tends to be non-linear with shrinkage differential and the stiffer the sample, the less warpage for the same differential shrinkage, eg., 3mm disks tend to warp less than 0.8mm disks molded from the same resin Celanese LCP-009 AM 10/13 Zenite LCP 36
