The Material

Material Introduction

Supernol® Aromatic Polyester Powders are Liquid Crystal Polymers based on p-Hydroxy Benzoic Acid, which can be used as high performance polymer additives in various applications.

This unique polymer with a plate like crystalline structure similar to graphite and molybdenum disulfide has the following benefits:

• Excellent thermal stability and flame resistance
• Very low coefficient of friction similar to PTFE
• Superior abrasion resistance and low wear 
• Excellent dimensional stability, creep resistance and low coefficient of thermal expansion
• Excellent solvent and chemical resistance (with the exception of strong alkalis and acids)

Our proprietary chemistry and unique manufacturing process allows the production of Aromatic Polyester Powders with:

• Tightly controlled particle size distribution
• High purity and cleanliness – Supernol® grades are ROHS compliant
• High thermal stability and very low amount of volatiles
