The invention is a laminate and a method for making the laminate, where the laminate has good scuff resistance, good abrasion resistance, good low temperature properties, and excellent resistance to delamination. The laminate is constructed of a polyurethane primer coated scrim fabric that is laminated to a cast extruded compounded PVC film. The film composition is predominately polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a thermoplastic polyurethane polymer (TPU), and a polytetrafluoroethylene micronized wax. The method for forming the laminate is a) providing a compounded PVC and a primer coated scrim fabric; b) extruding the compounded PVC forming a cast extruded compounded PVC film; and c) laminating the compounded PVC film to the primer coated scrim fabric. |
