Abstract
Abstract PCT No. PCT/JP90/00009 Sec. 371 Date Sep. 5, 1991 Sec. 102(e) Date Sep. 5, 1991 PCT Filed Jan. 8, 1990 PCT Pub. No. WO91/10562 PCT Pub. Date Jul. 25, 1991.A laminated resin film having a metallic appearance comprises: (a) a polyvinyl chloride type resin film having a total light transmission of at least 30% and a tensile strength at 5% elongation of not higher than 2 kg/cm; (b) a thin polyurethane type resin layer laminated on one surface of the resin film and having a total light transmission of at least 30% and a tensile strength at 100% elongation within the range of 50 to 550 kg/cm; and (c) a metal layer having a thickness of 50 to 2,000 ANGSTROM formed and adhering onto the polyurethane type resin layer. The film is useful particularly as a marking film.
