Abstract
In-situ polymerized polymer film facilitates improved paint film appliques with reduced defects. The paint film appliques comprise the in-situ polymerized polymer film as a carrier layer and at least one color layer assembled as a laminate, optionally further comprising at least one topcoat layer on one major surface of the laminate and an adhesive layer on the other major surface of the laminate.
Claims24
A paint film applique comprising:
- optionally, a topcoat layer;
- an in-situ polymerized carrier layer;
- a color layer;
- and
- optionally, an adhesive layer,
- wherein the carrier layer is in-situ polymerized on the color layer adjacent thereto, and
- wherein the in-situ polymerized carrier layer has at least one of the following properties:
- (a) a peak loss factor of at least about 0.5 when tested as a standalone film according to the Loss Factor Test Method described herein,
- (b) a peak loss factor that occurs at a temperature of at least about 35° C. when tested as a standalone film according to the Loss Factor Test Method described herein, or
- (c) half-height loss factors occurring across a temperature span of less than about 40° C. when tested as a standalone film according to the Loss Factor Test Method described herein.
