Abstract
Thermoplastic films are disclosed that are suitable for use as paint protection films. The films include a thermoplastic polymer layer comprising a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer and a polyvinyl acetal polymer. The films further comprise an adhesive layer. The thermoplastic films, when tested by ASTM D-412, exhibit a stress at 5% strain of no greater than 200 psi.
Claims26
A thermoplastic film, comprising:
- a. a thermoplastic polymer layer comprising:
- i. a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer comprising the reaction product of:
- 1. an aliphatic diisocyanate,
- 2. an aliphatic polyether polyol,
- 3. a chain extending agent;
- and
- ii. a polyvinyl acetal polymer characterized by:
- 1. a % PVOH value from about 10 to about 26, and
- 2. a molecular weight from about 30,000 to about 300,000,
- wherein the thermoplastic polyurethane polymer is present in the thermoplastic polymer layer in an amount from about 30 to about 99 percent by weight;
- and
- b. an adhesive layer,
- wherein the thermoplastic film:
- when tested by ASTM D-412, exhibits a stress at 5% strain of no greater than 200 psi.
