Shanghai (April 23, 2018)-Global technology and specialty materials company Celanese (NYSE: CE) unveiled its Chinaplas® 2018, exhibiting its Zenite® and Vectra® series Halogen-free liquid crystal polymer (LCP) can be used to make a variety of advanced smart phone and tablet camera module (CCM).
Smartphones are inseparable from our daily lives, and the requirements for the clarity, reliability and efficiency of cameras are becoming more and more stringent. Therefore, camera module manufacturers are looking for ways to improve their products and manufacturing processes to design camera modules that are feature-rich, have higher performance, and consume less power. Therefore, Celanese has developed the Zenite® LCP liquid crystal polymer series, which provides excellent fluidity, processing stability and dimensional stability for miniaturized designs, and can reduce the amount of particles used to increase the production efficiency and output of camera module components.
Gao Bojun, senior director of technology and innovation at Celanese Asia, introduced: "Celanese has worked closely with major camera module manufacturers around the world to understand market demand and customer requirements for advanced smartphones, and has developed Zenite® LCP LCD Series. To successfully develop this series, Celanese has built a series of internal testing capabilities based on the most demanding customer needs. "
The innovative Zenite® SEA series is designed for fixed focus and auto focus components, and its superior performance creates added value for customers. This product line includes:
Zenite® SEA 30N:
· It has stronger fluidity to achieve thin wall and miniaturization, has excellent dimensional stability, can achieve seamless welding and high welding line strength, and can be used for insert molding process;
· Smaller particles, higher toughness and surface peel strength, and anti-static (ESD) characteristics;
· Stable molding conditions can improve production efficiency, good surface properties, and low gas emission.
Zenite® SEA 30B:
· Smaller particles, better toughness and excellent dimensional stability;
· Excellent surface peel strength and high welding wire strength;
· Higher bonding strength, fluidity and welding line strength, high production efficiency.
Celanese first introduced the high-fluidity, high-performance Vectra ® FIT70 developed for mobile device camera modules in 2012, and at the 2014 Chinaplas, introduced the first achievement in preventing peeling and reducing dust The SEA series for camera modules with technological breakthroughs. Since then, the Zenite® SEA series has been used in the cameras of more than 2 billion smartphones.
Vectra® and Zenite® LCP liquid crystal polymer series are widely used in the manufacture of RoHS and WEEE-compliant halogen-free environmentally friendly connectors, coils, switches and relays, helping customers and original equipment manufacturers to accelerate the pace towards green and safe products .
