Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conform excellently to elastic deformation of a rubber, a foam body, and the like by forming a skin layer with a fluorocarbon resin containing a functional group capable of reacting with an isocyanate group and a resin containing a reaction product with a polyisocyanate compound. SOLUTION: A skin layer 1 formed on the member surface includes fluorocarbon resin capable of reacting with an isocyanate group and a reaction product with a polyisocyanate compound. A rate of use of each component is not limited particularly; however, a reaction product is usually preferable which is obtained by reacting a 100-10 pts.wt., in particular, 80-20 pts.wt. polyisocyanate compound in a 100 pts.wt. fluorocarbon resin. For such an isocyanate group, though there is no limitation, a functional group can be exemplified which has active hydrogen such as a hydroxyl group, an amino group, a carboxyl group and a sulfonic group, and a hydroxyl group is most suitable among these groups.
