PVC compositions, films, laminates and related methods

Abstract:

Polyvinyl chloride compositions and films formed therefrom are described which exhibit improved printability and resistance to weathering. The compositions generally comprise polyvinyl chloride, at least one plasticizer, at least one heat stabilizer, certain UV stabilizer(s), and print additives and/or other agents. In particular versions, the compositions utilize a combination of polyvinyl chloride resins. Also described are various vinyl-based laminates using the films which can be for example reflective products. Also described are methods of producing the noted laminates.
