Vectra E130i LCP Resin from China

Vectra E130i is a thermoplastic liquid crystal polymer (LCP) copolymer resin composed of aromatic polyester units, supplied in pellet form for injection molding. It falls under HTS 3907.99.2000 because it meets the criteria for thermoplastic liquid crystal aromatic polyester copolymers with over 95% of the specified monomer units by weight. This high-performance material is prized for its exceptional strength and thermal stability in precision components.

Import Tips

Verify copolymer composition via manufacturer's technical data sheet to confirm 95%+ aromatic polyester monomer content for proper classification

Ensure MSDS and REACH compliance documentation for chemical imports

Avoid misclassification as generic polyester by specifying liquid crystal properties in entry docs
