Abstract

The invention relates to a transparent, UV-stabilized, single or multi-layered thermoformable film which contains, as a principal constituent, a crystallizable thermoplastic, preferably polyethylene terephthalate, and at least one UV-stabilizer. The inventive films are characterized by having a good stretchability, thermoformability and good optical and mechanical properties. Said films are suitable for outdoor uses just like shaped bodies made of the same.
