Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1 The present embodiment provides the following technical scheme: a luminous TPU transparent paint protective film and a method for making the same, comprising the following raw materials in percentage by mass: 15% prepolymer of poly-ε-caprolactone polyol and 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate; 10% prepolymer of diamine chain extender cross-linking agent and 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate; 0.2% mildew preventer; 0.5% pentaerythritol ester; 0.5% 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol; 0.18-0.4% organotin catalyst; 0.25-2.5% anti-hydrolysis agent; 0.1-0.5% release agent; 0.2-0.5% ultraviolet absorber; 0.2-0.5% light stabilizer; 0.5% pearlescent flakes; the balance being organic solvent.

[0018] The method for making the luminous TPU transparent paint protective film comprises the following steps: S1: Mix poly-ε-caprolactone polyol with a prepolymer of 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate, a mildew preventer, pentaerythritol ester, 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, an organic tin catalyst, an anti-hydrolysis agent, a release agent, an ultraviolet absorber, a light stabilizer and pearlescent flakes, heat to 80° C. and stir evenly; S2: heating the prepolymer of diamine chain extender and 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate to 80° C.; S3: S1 and S2 are mixed and stirred evenly in proportion by a metering pump; S4: Print the conductive adhesive circuit evenly on PET with a thickness of 36-50um and acrylic release agent by gravure coating, and arrange the small SMD lamp beads; S5: Heat the mixed solution to 80°C, and apply the coating to the PET with the lamp bead surface in S3 by a comma coating method with a heating device, with a coating thickness of 350um~400um and a comma spacing of 420um~470um; S6: Control the coating and drying temperature to 130°C to 30°C, the humidity to less than 20%, and the reaction time to be greater than or equal to 3 minutes; S7: Place the coated base film in a 50°C room for aging for 3 days; S8: Because the high molecular weight TPU base film has light-conducting properties, light-conducting ink is used to print personalized decorative patterns on the surface of the cast base film; S9: using a transfer coating machine to coat acrylic glue and protective coating on both sides of the cast TPU base film; S10: Stick it on the car paint surface, configure the corresponding power supply and turn it on. Turn on the power at night. The lamp beads will emit light through the light-guiding cast TPU. When the light passes through the light-guiding ink, the light-guiding ink will guide and radiate the light, so that the naked eye can receive the luminous pattern.

[0019] The luminous TPU transparent paint protection film and its manufacturing method enable the paint protection film to have luminous safety warning performance, which can improve the visibility of the vehicle when the vehicle is driving at night or in low light conditions, and serve as a warning to pedestrians and vehicles, thereby further improving the safety performance of the vehicle during driving.

[0020] In some embodiments, the organotin catalyst is stannous octoate, which has the characteristics of high catalytic efficiency, mild reaction conditions, easy handling and strong applicability.

[0021] The anti-hydrolysis agent adopts a polycarbodiimide compound, which can control the reaction rate, has mild reaction conditions, good water solubility, high stability and good biocompatibility.

[0022] The release agent adopts fatty acid solution of stearic zinc, which can be more easily dispersed evenly and enhances the functionality of the product, as well as having environmental protection and stability effects.

[0023] Example 2 The molecular weight of poly-ε-caprolactone polyol and 4,4-dicyclohexylmethane diisocyanate prepolymer is 1800~2200. As the soft segment in polyurethane material, the lower molecular weight of poly-ε-caprolactone polyol means that it has better flexibility and processing performance. The soft segment usually gives polyurethane elasticity, flexibility and low-temperature performance.

[0024] Example 3 The stoichiometric ratio of pentaerythritol ester and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol is 1:1, which can maximize the synergistic effect of pentaerythritol ester and 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol in the process of producing paint protective film, improve the stability of the antioxidant, balance the antioxidant performance, improve the compatibility of the antioxidant, and reduce the toxicity risk that may be caused by a single antioxidant.

[0025] Example 4 The stoichiometric ratio of UV absorber to light stabilizer is 1:1. By using the same ratio of UV absorber to light stabilizer, more comprehensive protection can be provided for the paint protective film, extending its service life in outdoor or light environments, as well as reducing costs and light aging problems.

[0026] Example 5 The pearlescent flakes have a particle size of 20~40um, which makes the paint protection film have beautiful appearance, uniform gloss, good concealment, good durability, high UV resistance, easy processing and convenient maintenance.
