1. A coextruded multilayer laminate comprising:
- (a) a substrate layer of a thermoplastic resin composition comprising(i) from 50 to 99 percent by weight vinyl chloride polymer based on the entire weight of the resin composition,(ii) from 1 to 10 percent by weight of a butadiene rubber graft copolymer based on the total weight of the resin composition, said graft copolymer being selected from the group consisting of graft polymer obtained by grafting from 15 to 50 percent by weight of a monomer selected from the group consisting of vinyl aromatics, vinyl cyanides, methacrylic alkyl esters, and mixtures thereof to 50 to 85 percent by weight of a butadiene rubber based on the total weight of the butadiene rubber graft polymer,(b) a superstrate layer attached to said substrate layer to protect said substrate layer from heat, moisture and ultraviolet light, said superstrate layer comprising a polymeric composition comprising,(i) from 50 to 98 percent vinyl chloride polymer based on the total weight of the polymeric composition,(ii) from 1 to 10 percent by weight of a alkyl acrylate rubber graft copolymer based on the total weight of the polymeric composition, said alkyl acrylate rubber graft copolymers being selected from the group consisting of graft copolymers obtained by grafting from 10 to 50 percent by weight of a monomer selected from the group consisting of vinyl aromatics, vinyl cyanides, methylacrylic alkyl esters and mixtures thereof to 50 to 90 percent by weight of a alkyl acrylate rubber based on the total weight of the alkyl acrylate graft copolymer, and(iii) from 1 to 20 percent by weight titanium dioxide based on the total weight of the polymeric composition.

Abstract
A laminate which is useful as a construction material is disclosed. The laminate has a substrate layer which contains vinyl chloride polymer, a butadiene rubber graft copolymer, and has a superstrate layer which contains vinyl chloride polymer, butylacrylate rubber graft copolymer, and titanium dioxide. The superstrate layer protects the substrate layer from excessive exposure to ultraviolet light, heat and moisture, and thereby protects the substrate layer from weathering during outdoor use of the laminate as a material for siding, gutter systems, downspouts, shutters, window casings, and other exterior outdoor weather exposed building material applications.
