Patent ID: 6887573

Claim:
An article for use in exterior applications comprising: a) a base substrate comprising a uniform miscible resin blend of a polycarbonate resin and a cycloaliphatic polyester resin, said cycloaliphatic polyester resin comprising the reaction product of an aliphatic C 2 -C 20 diol or chemical equivalent and a C 6 -C 20 aliphatic diacid or chemical equivalent, said cycloaliphatic polyester resin contains at least about 80% by weight of a cycloaliphatic dicarboxylic acid, or chemical equivalent, and/or of a cycloaliphatic diol or chemical equivalent; b) an outer layer on said base substrate, said outer layer comprising an acrylic resin, a blend of a thermoplastic fluorinated polymer and an acrylic resin, an inclusive ionomer, a polycarbonate, a polyvinyl chloride, or a thermoplastic polyurethane, wherein the viscosity of the base layer is selected to improve the adhesion between the base substrate and the outer layer.
