Abstract
This invention relates to window films and more particularly to a low haze colored window film wherein coloration of the window film is effected with a pigment. The invention further is concerned with a process for the manufacture of the pigmented window film. The window film of this invention is pigmented with a pigment having small particle size wherein the particles are coated with a resin binder which encapsulates the pigment particles. The encapsulated pigment particles are blended into an adhesive which is compatible with the resin binder which is used to encapsulate the pigment particles. The resulting adhesive is used to secure one or more film layers of a composite window film structure together. The resulting films have haze levels which approximate the haze levels of dyed window films. The window films of this invention have outstanding light stability.
