Chemical stability of SUMIKASUPER LCP
Chemical resistance of SUMIKASUPER LCP
The chemical resistance data for SUMIKASUPER LCP is shown in the table. SUMIKASUPER LCP has excellent chemical resistance and does not swell or deteriorate due to oils even at high temperatures. However, evaluation of actual molded products is required for practical use.
