ARTICLE AND PROCESS FOR CONSTRUCTING A MELT PROFILE EXTRUSION OF A PLASTICIZED MATERIAL INCORPORATING AT LEAST ONE OF A METALLIC PIGMENT, FLAKE OR LAYER

摘要

A profile extruded article is provided that includes a body composed of a plasticized base material. A metallic base additive in the form of a flake, particle, or pigment is entrained within at least a portion of the base plasticized material. The resultant article is adapted to be applied to a surface of a substratum material with particular application to decorative trim forming a seal between building components. An extruded article is also provided that includes a body composed of the plasticized base material having an elongated profile with a main segmented body component. First and second end legs extend from the main segmented body component. The first and second end legs each interconnect to opposite ends of the main body by way of elongated notches. The elongated notches have a selected cross-sectional shape and extend within 0.015 inches of a selected surface of the body. A metallic based additive in the form of flake, particle or pigmented form thereof is entrained within the base plasticized material. The resultant extruded article is adapted to be applied to at least one surface of a substratum material.
