Abstract
A reflective article useful, for example, in automotive headlights includes a haze-prevention layer between a heat-resistant thermoplastic substrate and a reflective metal layer. The haze-prevention layer includes a metal having a tensile modulus of at least about 15×10pounds per square inch. The article resists hazing of the reflective layer at elevated temperatures.
