Daicel develops advanced engineering plastics under the brands DURAFIDE® (PPS) and LAPEROS® (LCP).
Daicel is a global chemical company with extensive experience in developing innovative material solutions for industry. As part of Daicel, Polyplastics is included, founded as early as 1962 and becoming Japan’s first manufacturer of advanced engineering plastics.
With a focus on quality, reliability and innovation, the company strives to be a long-term and trusted partner in engineering plastics, continuously meeting the future demands for material performance and sustainability.
DURAFIDE® PPS is an advanced engineering thermoplastic known for its outstanding heat and chemical resistance. It also offers superior mechanical strength, flame retardancy, and toughness compared to conventional PPS grades.
LAPEROS® LCP is an advanced engineering plastic ideally suited for the design of ultra-thin components. LCP offers excellent heat resistance and superior mechanical properties.
A unique characteristic of LCP is that its mechanical strength increases as the product becomes thinner. It also has a very low coefficient of linear thermal expansion, close to that of metals. LCP is widely used in miniature electronic components within tablets and smartphones.
