Mektron has developed a higher performance
material using proprietary test methods.
Based on the application's requirement, Mektron can test for either single or
double sided dynamic sections.

Mektron's research and development created an optimized FPC material
that is 10 times more durable than standard FPC (flex cycle endurance and high
temperature resistance at 95).
