Pigmented PVC based graphics films

A graphics product comprising:

• a film layer, the film defining a first face and a second face oppositely directed from the first face;
• a layer of adhesive disposed on the first face of the film layer;
• a layer of flexible transparent polyurethane disposed on and immediately adjacent to the second face of the film layer;
• a barrier layer disposed between the film layer and the layer of adhesive;
• wherein the flexible transparent polyurethane serves as substrate and the film layer is casted on the flexible transparent polyurethane;
• wherein the polyurethane is an aliphatic polycaprolactone thermoplastic polyurethane;
• wherein the film layer comprises (i) pigment or pigment dispersion, (ii) copolymer or copolymer dispersion, and (iii) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a PVC dispersion;
• wherein each of the film layer, the layer of adhesive, the layer of flexible transparent polyurethane, and the barrier layer has thickness from 0.5 mils to 1.5 mils;
• wherein the graphics product exhibits a peak tensile load of at least 11.0 lbf/inch;
• wherein the graphics product exhibits an elongation greater than 170%;
