Abstract
Abstract A method for making multilayered synthetic resin bodies by the coextrusion of thermoplastic molding compounds wherein at least one of the layers in the extruded body is to be protected against UV light, which comprises extruding at least one layer from a thermoplastic molding compound that is formed entirely or predominantly of a copolymer formed between monomers comprising in their molecules groups or structures which, because of their characteristic absorption of ultraviolet light, provide protection against ultraviolet light, together with other, known, monomers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for making a formed multilayer synthetic resin body having at least one layer which is to be protected from incident ultraviolet light and at least one protective layer which absorbs incident ultraviolet light, which method comprises coextruding said body from a plurality of thermoplastic molding compounds, said protective layer being formed by extrusion of a first molding compound comprising from 51 to 100 percent by weight of a copolymer having polymerized therein at least one comonomer the molecule of which contains a group or structure which protects against ultraviolet light because of its characteristic absorption of ultraviolet light.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
100 words
A method for making a formed multilayer synthetic resin body having at least one layer which is to be protected from incident ultraviolet light and at least one protective layer which absorbs incident ultraviolet light, which method comprises coextruding said body from a plurality of thermoplastic molding compounds, said protective layer being formed by extrusion of a first molding compound comprising from 51 to 100 percent by weight of a copolymer having polymerized therein at least one comonomer the molecule of which contains a group or structure which protects against ultraviolet light because of its characteristic absorption of ultraviolet light.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A method as in claim 1 wherein said protective layer is extruded as the outermost layer of said body and is directly adjacent the layer to be protected.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
