Polyplastics Corporation Unveils New LAPEROS® LCP Series for Electronics

Polyplastics Corporation, headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, has announced the launch of two new high-performance polymer products specifically designed for the electronics industry: the LH and TF series of LAPEROS® LCP (Liquid Crystal Polymer). This initiative aims to address the growing demand for miniaturization and enhanced performance in electronic components, offering a broader selection of next-generation materials that support the evolution of electronic devices.

LAPEROS® LCP is renowned for its superior heat resistance and mechanical strength, which allows it to maintain its integrity even in thin-walled molding processes. This makes it ideally suited for electronic components that require high dimensional accuracy. The use of LAPEROS® LCP is increasingly prevalent in ultra-thin fine-pitch connectors for smartphones and tablets, as well as in high-speed transmission applications.

Features of the New Series

• - LH Series: This series is characterized by its well-balanced attributes in flowability, mechanical properties, and heat resistance. It is designed to meet a wide range of electronic components' requirements, offering flexibility to cater to diverse design needs.

• - TF Series: This series specializes in high flowability, making it suitable for molding complex shapes in products such as smartphones and precision electronic components. It maximizes flowability while successfully balancing mechanical properties and a wide molding window, supporting miniaturization and high-density integration.

Leveraging Materials Informatics

Employing advanced materials informatics driven by AI and data analysis, Polyplastics extracts optimal properties from vast amounts of materials data. This innovative approach facilitates faster development times and enhanced precision in design. The company's data-driven methodology accelerates the discovery of new applications and the development of next-generation materials.

Market Trends and Future Prospects

Polyplastics boasts production facilities in Japan and Taiwan, with an annual production capacity of 20,000 tons, capturing a significant 34% market share globally (as reported in the 2025 Fuji Economic Materials Research). The newly launched LH and TF series consists of a diverse range of properties that cater to the various needs of electronic components, demonstrating the company's commitment to innovation.

Moving forward, Polyplastics plans to merge cutting-edge materials technology with digital methods like materials informatics to drive the development of high-performance engineering plastics. The company is also dedicated to promoting product quality and efficiency while addressing environmental sustainability, working to reduce material usage, energy consumption, and environmental impact in pursuit of a sustainable society.

In addition, LAPEROS® is a registered trademark owned by Polyplastics Corporation in Japan and other countries.
