The second outer layer (4) has a buckling stress lower than a buckling stress of the first outer layer (2), and the first outer layer (2) and the second outer layer (4) each have a compression failure stress higher than the buckling stress of the second outer layer (4).

The present invention provides a composition including a fluorine-containing polymer, and excellent in heat resistance even if only a small amount of additives is added to the composition. The present invention relates to a composition, comprising: a fluorine-containing polymer (a) and a cobalt compound (b).

In order to provide a sintered, hexagonal boron nitride body (2a, 2b), same is produced by at least one pressing process and subsequent sintering process from a powder (P) made of a hexagonal boron nitride, its density being deliberately set to a value of <1.6 g/cm.sup.3. Studies have shown that, due to the selection of this lower density, the boron nitride body (2a, 2b) exhibits very high isotropy, when compared with conventional hexagonal boron nitride bodies. This relates in particular to thermal conductivity and the coefficient of thermal expansion, which are also largely temperature-independent.
