Abstract: Brittle acrylic films are made from impact-modified polyalkyl (meth)acrylate and are useful in forgery prevention labels containing the same. The films can be advantageously prepared by extrusion and, depending on the desired purpose, can be designed to be translucent or entirely non-transparent e.g. white. Ideally, the brittle acrylic films and the forgery prevention labels have no intended break points such as slits, perforation etc.

Abstract: The present invention relates to peelproof security films made from a poly(meth)acrylate, more particularly from a polymethyl methacrylate, which comprises at most 10 wt % of or no impact modifiers. These films are highly transparent, have good printability qualities, and can be applied without intended break points. The peelproof security films can therefore find use in particular in documents, such as passports, for example, in security labels, such as road tax badges, for example, or for product theft prevention, or as price tags. These security labels are further distinguished by good weathering stability and in particular by especially good UV stability. The present invention relates more particularly to the use of these security labels, which have a thickness of not more than 2 mm, comprise at least 80 wt % of polymethyl methacrylate and contain no impact modification particles.

Abstract: An extruded matt foil has at least one layer in which glass beads are uniformly distributed in a polymer matrix with at least one fluoropolymer and at least one further layer. The matt foil has a particularly high UV-resistance, a high weathering resistance and excellent mechanical properties. Therefore, the foil is highly suitable for surface-protection of materials such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and for use in high-pressure laminates (HPLs).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for producing transparent polymeric films or plastics moldings of particularly high chemical resistance, having more particularly a very good resistance towards oil-in-water and water-in-oil emulsions, and of high optical quality.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing light guide bodies and to their use in lighting units, for example for liquid crystal displays or for monitors. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for producing light guide bodies which have a thickness of at most 1 mm and contain at least 80 wt % of polymethyl methacrylate and no light-scattering constituents.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a laminate comprising at least one thermoplastic substrate and at least one colour layer, wherein the thermoplastic substrate comprises polyamide, to which at least one colour layer comprising polyurethane crosslinking has been applied.

Abstract: A transparent plastic foil with improved weathering resistance and increased intrinsic stability is provided. The foil contains a) poly(meth)acrylate and polyvinylidene fluoride in a ratio of from 1:0.01 to 1:0.5 (w/w); and b) a mixture containing a UV stabilizer and a UV absorber. Use of the foil as a protective coating is also included.

Abstract: The present invention describes a process for the surface finishing of materials via application of specific polymethacrylate layers. The polymethacrylate layers are composed of blends of at least two (co)polymers of polymethacrylates, and specific “reactive monomers” are present here in a polymerized mixture which forms the polymethacrylate layer. At the application temperature established, these form a chemical and, where appropriate, also a physical bond to the substrate, and therefore have adhesion-promoting action.
