Liquid crystal mixture E8

Catalog Number ACMA00011582
Structure
Description made from 99.5 % single LC. Liquid Crystal Mixture E8 is another widely used nematic liquid crystal mixture, similar to E7 but with slightly different properties tailored for specific electro-optical applications.
Purity Each single component min. 99.5 %
Appearance White liquid
Application E8 is known for its excellent alignment, fast switching times, and stable nematic phase at room temperature, making it ideal for use in display and optical technologies.
Storage Store E8 in a cool, dry place, protected from light and moisture, to maintain its stability and performance.
