Abstract
A laterally bent and longitudinally bendable extrusion product and method of making the same in which a composite metallized strip is encapsulated in a transparent sheath of molten thermoplastic and subsequently fed to a forming zone where it is laterally bent and cooled. The composite metallized strip includes a core of metallized particles sandwiched between and thermoplastically bonded to a transparent plastic substrate and a rigidifying support layer which is constructed and arranged to substantially prevent delamination, discolorization and deformation of the metallized particles.
