Abstract: Disclosed is a composite film comprising a coating layer, a polymer film layer, and an adhesive layer, the coating layer being joined to one major surface of the polymer film layer, and the adhesive layer being joined to the opposite major surface of the polymer film layer, in such a way that the polymer film layer is embedded between the coating layer and the adhesive layer.
