Abstract
Abstract Laminated plastic sheets composed of a first layer of a film of an aromatichermoplastic polycarbonate or polyarylsulfone and a second layer of a film of a thermoplastic copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and of a completely or partially fluorinated vinyl alkyl ether or vinylalkane and an interlayer of a polyurethane adhesive between the film layers to secure the film layers to one another. Also disclosed are methods for producing the laminated plastic sheet and articles formed therefrom. Such sheets and articles possess improved printability, thermo-formability, resistance to ignition and produce minimal smoke on burning.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
104 words
A laminated plastic sheet having a thickness of 0.05 to 5 mm comprising a layer of a film of aromatic thermoplastic polycarbonate or thermoplastic polyarylsulfone, a layer of a film of a thermoplastic copolymer of 40 to 60 mol % of ethylene, 60 to 40 mol % of tetrafluoroethylene and from 0 to 10 mol %, based on 100 mol % of the sum of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, of a completely or partially fluorinated vinyl alkyl ether or of a completely or partially fluorinated vinylalkane, and a layer of a polyurethane adhesive between said film layers to secure the film layers to one another.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
104 words
A laminated plastic sheet having a thickness of 0.05 to 5 mm comprising a layer of a film of aromatic thermoplastic polycarbonate or thermoplastic polyarylsulfone, a layer of a film of a thermoplastic copolymer of 40 to 60 mol % of ethylene, 60 to 40 mol % of tetrafluoroethylene and from 0 to 10 mol %, based on 100 mol % of the sum of ethylene and tetrafluoroethylene, of a completely or partially fluorinated vinyl alkyl ether or of a completely or partially fluorinated vinylalkane, and a layer of a polyurethane adhesive between said film layers to secure the film layers to one another.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The laminated plastic of claim 1 wherein the fluorinated vinyl alkyl ether is perfluoromethyl vinyl ether, or perfluoropropyl vinyl ether.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
12 words
The laminated plastic of claim 1 wherein the fluorinated vinylalkane is hexafluoropropene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
9 words
An article formed from the sheet of claim 1.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The laminated plastic of claim 1 in which the polycarbonate is a copolycarbonate of 99 to 90 mol % of 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-propane and 1 to 10 mol % of 1,1-bis-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-cyclohexane.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
69 words
The laminated plastic of claim 1 or 5 in which the flammability of the polycarbonate has been decreased by the addition of an effective amount of a halogen-containing low-molecular aromatic polycarbonate which has a molecular weight Mn of 4,000 to 20,000 and is based on a halogenated diphenyl or by the addition of an NH 4 salt, alkali metal salt or alkaline earth metal salt of a perhalogenoalkanesulfonic acid.
