Abstract:
In an embodiment, a multilayer sheet, comprises: a substrate comprising a cap layer comprising a polymeric material and a core layer, wherein when joined, the cap layer forms a first surface of the substrate and the core layer forms a second surface of the substrate; a first coating layer disposed on the first surface of the substrate, wherein the first coating is a hard coating; and a second coating layer disposed on the second surface of the substrate, wherein the second coating is a flexible coating; wherein the multilayer sheet passes a ball drop test from a distance of greater than or equal to 50 centimeters.
