A metal-clad laminate that includes a metal foil with low surface roughness and in which the adhesion strength between a liquid crystal polymer film and the metal foil is high, the low transmission loss in a high frequency region is low, and the problems associated with warpage and adhesive leakage are alleviated. The metal-clad laminate includes the liquid crystal polymer film, an adhesive layer, and the metal foil, with the adhesive layer and the metal foil stacked on one surface of the liquid crystal polymer film.

Provided are solvent cement formulations comprising some or all of tetrahydrofuran, cyclohexanone, methyl ethyl ketone, acetone, a thermoplastic resin, silica, and, a solvent soluble acrylic copolymer associative thickener. The disclosed formulations contain a reduced complement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) relative to conventional cement formulations, yet are capable of meeting the requirements for regular-, medium-, and heavy-duty applications. The use of specialized associative thickener components confers a required degree of viscosity while enabling a reduction in the concentration of VOCs, such as tetrahydrofuran.
