ABSTRACT:
Thermoplastic articles such as splash guards, in particular polyethylene splash guards, are decorated using a heat-activated decorative which includes a layer of a compatible thermoplastic adhesive which bonds an intermediate support sheet to the surface of the article. An indicia layer is then bonded to the support sheet. The support sheet is either a nonwoven web, a metal film, or a metalized cloth. The indicia layer can be an outer reflective or polymeric film bonded to the polyester nonwoven web using a compatible adhesive such as a linear alkyl polyester. If the support sheet is a metal film or metalized cloth, it can provide the indicia without a separate layer. However, a clear protective film may be required. This material remains tightly adhered to the surface of the article, even splash guards subjected to road conditions.
