Development of LAPEROS^® LCP S125P

Therefore, materials with low dielectric loss tangent and relative dielectric constant are required as materials in telecommunication equipment. We have developed the new LAPEROS^® LCP S125P grade as a material that meets those requirements. This S125P grade has a lower dielectric constant of approximately 1.0 or more compared to common grades, resulting in lower transmission loss. Another major feature is that it combines LCP’s inherent properties of liquidity with low dielectric constant and low dielectric tangent. In the past, using additives to lower the relative dielectric constant and dielectric tangent resulted in lower liquidity. However, through repeated analysis in the development stage and optimization of additive conditions, we succeeded in combining low permittivity and dielectric tangent with high liquidity. This allows for low dielectricity and low dielectric tangent, while also making it easy to mold small parts such as connectors, as is the case with ordinary LCP.  The LAPEROS^® LCP S125P grade is expected to play an active role in more and more devices as high-speed communications become increasingly widespread, and is seen as a product that will support the attainment of a connected society.
