Abstract:
Disclosed herein are improved thermoplastic polyurethane compositions, articles, and related methods. These compositions include aliphatic thermoplastic polyurethanes having a hard segment content ranging from 57 percent to 80 percent by weight. The hard coat compositions have a Shore D hardness of at least 70 and can display an Elongation at Break test result at 25 degrees Celsius of at least 150 percent. These materials, when hardened, can serve decorative and/or protective functions while displaying both a high degree of elongation at moderate temperatures and high hardness.
Abstract:
An adhesive-backed polymeric film assembly that comprises: a polymeric film having one layer or multiple layers, a back surface and a front surface, with an adhesive bonded to the back surface; and a release liner having an outer surface and an inner surface releaseably bonded to the adhesive, wherein the assembly is wound into a roll, with the outer surface of the release liner facing outwardly and the front surface of the polymeric film facing inwardly.
