Ticona develops thermoformable Vectra LCP

Ticona Engineering Polymers has added a new member to its series of flame-resistant liquid crystal polymers. The company said the material is the first LCP tailored for thermoforming.


“With high melt viscosity and melt strength, this new LCP is ideally suited for extrusion and thermoforming processes,” said Edward Hallahan, marketing manager, high-performance polymers. “Initially, Ticona is offering a 40 percent mineral filled grade, Vectra Trex 541, which provides impact and notched impact strengths significantly higher than those of other mineral-filled grades.”

Vectra Trex 541 provides the following performance attributes, according to Ticona:

* High heat deflection temperature of 245°C;
* 20 percent improvement in impact performance versus standard 40 percent mineral-filled LCP;
* Higher melt viscosity – up to three times greater than standard 40 percent mineral-filled LCP.

Ticona developed Vectra Trex 541 for use by customers who extrude sheets and films that can be thermoformed to finished components. Suggested applications include:

* Medical – for use in sterilizable trays and equipment;
* Aerospace – meeting flame, smoke and toxicity requirements for use in aircraft interior applications;
* Semiconductor – providing high stiffness and a low coefficient of thermal expansion for use in chip carriers.

Vectra Trex 541 extends application possibilities for LCPs in the kitchenware and food industries, says Ticona. It can be vacuum-formed into large-format sheets or cooking pans capable of heating up and cooling down rapidly.

 According to the company, cookware made of LCP is an excellent alternative to baking pans and casseroles made of metal, “which are harder to clean, noisy and heavy.”

Ticona is a unit of Dallas-based Celanese Corp.

Highlights of new products to be introduced include:

1) M Series – Mold-Masters new global line of advanced temperature controller solutions. In 2009, Mold-Masters acquired UK based controller manufacturer PMS with a goal to create a new global controller group and platform with the most advanced and value delivering hot runner controller family of products available on the market.
M Series is the result offering users “Future Now Technology” that enables system functionality to expand with your changing requirements, Out-of Box convenience optimized for all major hot runner systems, and Plug & Play System Architecture that does not require any external service all. More compact, more intuitive and user friendly, more rugged and more value than any other product in the market today. No company supplies more Hot Runners Systems than Mold-Masters and no company knows more about the important role controller technology plays in the process.

2) Also on display will be the new E-Multi all electric, servo-motor driven, mold-mounted, fully mobile auxiliary injection units for multi-material or multi colored applications. E-Multi is the perfect solution for Molders who are looking to economically optimize their existing injection molding machine assets with an auxiliary injection unit solution that is highly mobile, compact and foot print neutral. Maximize injection molding performance, reduce costs and attack new markets in multi material application by leveraging the simplicity and precision of E-Multi.

Mold-Masters Sprint VG solution facilitates much faster cycle times than ever before witnessed with closure valve gate applications. The E-Drive system ensures exact pin position, on the fly adjustment of the pin position and equal movement of all valve pins via the servo driven synchro plate system to ensure the perfect balance is achieved between speed and quality. In short, Sprint VG is the new standard in cylindrical valve gating for fast cycling closure systems where speed, quality and uptime are key success factors.

4) Fusion G2 – For over 35 years the automotive industry has relied on Mold-Masters to provide next generation solutions that advance productivity, increase yield, reduce maintenance and push the industry standard. Fusion G2, with its drop in, connect and go technology is exactly what today’s automotive Mold-Makers, Molders and End Users have been demanding in a Hot Runner. A simple, reliable and easy to integrate plug and play solution is what Fusion G2 delivers. If you need all the above but also demand high value and speed to market in your next automotive hot runner solution then think Fusion G2.

PET molders, converters and end users will also not want to miss visiting with Mold-Masters at K-Show 2010. Since entering the industry a little over 2 years ago, Mold-Masters has experienced tremendous activity in its iPET Business Group. Using patented iCool conformal cooling technology and iFlow hot runner technology, iPET molds are defining a new standard for performance in the preform molding industry. For the K-Show 2010 PET visitors will see a series of firsts for the industry and we hope will end their visit with us convinced that when it comes to PET solutions Mold-Masters is the new global technology leader!

“At K 2010 Mold-Masters will launch these as well as several yet to be announced new market offerings. It is undoubtedly the most significant array of new solutions for our clients in our long history as we extend our offerings from hot runners into complementary products,” said Patrick Bennett, Executive Vice President Mold-Masters. “K-Show promises to be an exciting opportunity for the industry and we are looking forward to welcoming old friends and new customers to this technology showcase”.

Since the last K-Show the world has witnessed much upheaval and for many firms the landscape is now very different. The team at Mold-Masters throughout this period of great challenge never lost sight of what is most important, helping our clients achieve their most important business objectives. We, like our clients, faced the challenges and have emerged very strong and keen to continue helping our clients realize their goals. It is our passion and what makes us unique.
