REPAIRABLE THERMOPLASTIC MATERIAL

摘要

An isotropic thermoplastic article such as a sheet of extruded polyvinyl chloride is provided in which the surface of the sheet defines a plurality of fine, parallel grooves (22). The grooves (22) provide a textured finish to the sheet on which scratches and other surface flaws may be repaired using sandpaper or similar abrasives. By applying the abrasive in the direction of the grooves (22), the surface flaw may be removed. The resulting repaired area maintains a surface texture and finish which matches the surrounding original surface.
