Its friction coefficient is extremely low, surface is very smooth, not easy to stain dust and impurities. At the same time, polytetrafluoroethylene 201 also has good high-temperature resistance and low-temperature resistance, can work normally within a wide temperature range, polyphenylene sulfide 202 is a high-performance thermoplastic resin, has excellent resistance to acid, alkali, organic solvents and other chemicals, good chemical stability.

Low curing shrinkage, the size is stable after curing, can be closely attached to substrate and other corrosion-resistant materials.
[0027] The waterproof layer 3 is composed of water-based polyurethane 301, silicone resin 302 and polyolefin 303. The water-based polyurethane 301 is arranged on both sides of the substrate layer 1, and the water-based polyurethane 301 on both sides is distributed symmetrically along the axis of the substrate layer 1.

The polyphenylene sulfide 202 further enhances the defense capability to chemicals, and its good thermal stability and dimensional stability help to maintain the structural integrity of the corrosion-resistant layer 2 in different environments. The epoxy resin 203 plays the role of bonding and supplementing corrosion resistance, tightly combining the entire corrosion-resistant layer 2, ensuring that there is no gap for corrosive substances to enter, providing a strong anti-corrosion barrier from the inside to the outside for the flexible circuit board.
[0029] The waterproof layer 3 is composed of water-based polyurethane 301, silicone resin 302 and polyolefin 303.
