Method, article and assembly for applying a multi-layer film to an elongate extruded article

An extrusion molded article, comprising:

• an extrusion formed rigid polymer;
• an extruded coating applied over the rigid polymer;
• a multi-layer film applied over said coating and to said rigid polymer, said multi-layer film including each of a first polypropylene layer, an adhesive binder layer, at least one polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layer, and a coating layer;
• and
• a third stage extrusion formed profile wing configured along an edge of said second stage multi-layer film.

An extrusion process for creating an extrusion molded article with a chemically applied outer film, comprising the steps of:

• forming an extruded base material of a rigid polymer during a first extrusion operation;
• bonding a multi-layer film to the base material while the base material is at an above ambient temperature;
• and
• forming at least one wing portion along an edge of said base material during a succeeding extrusion operation and in order to overlap at least a portion of said film.
