Multi-layered film and the use thereof

A multi-layered film for application to a metal or plastic surface, the multi-layered film comprising:

• (A) a protective layer (A) as a first layer;
• (B) a barrier layer (B);
• (C) a base layer (C);
• and
• (D) an adhesive layer (D) as a last layer,
• wherein:
• the protective layer (A) is a poly(alkyl methacrylate) film comprising at least one hindered amine light stabilizer and at least two different ortho-hydroxy tris-aryl triazine UV absorbers selected from the group consisting of a compound of formula (7) and a compound of formula (8):
• wherein
• G1 is hydrogen, C1-C18alkyl, C1-C18alky substituted by 1, 2 or 3 radicals selected from the group consisting of —OH, C2-C18 alkenyloxy, —C(O)OL1 and —OC(O)L2,
• L1 and L2 being independently C1-C18alkyl, C3-C50alkyl interrupted by oxygen or C3-C50hydroxyalkyl interrupted by oxygen,
• G2, G3, G4 and G5 are independently hydrogen, C1-C18alkyl, phenyl or phenyl substituted by 1, 2 or 3 C1-C4alkyl;
• wherein
• Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 are independently hydrogen, C1-C18alkyl, C1-C18alkyl substituted by 1, 2 or 3 radicals selected from the group consisting of —OH, C2-C18alkenyloxy, —C(O)OY1 and —OC(O)Y2 with Y1 and Y2 being independently C1-C18alkyl;
• C3-C50alkyl interrupted by oxygen or C3-C50hydroxyalkyl interrupted by oxygen, and
• R14, R15 and R16 are independently from each other hydrogen or C1-C18alkyl;
• and
• the barrier layer (B), the base layer (C), or both, comprise at least one pigment.
