Provided is a multilayer co-extruded film comprising at least two different elasticity layers with at least one first elasticity layer and at least one second elasticity layer having higher elasticity than the at least one first elasticity layer, wherein the first elasticity layer comprises a combination of an olefin-based elastomer and a crystalline olefin polymer, and wherein the residual strain after 100% elongation during 10 min at 23° C. of the multilayer co-extruded film is less than 15%.

The invention relates to a tubular liner for the rehabilitation of an, in particular, underground sewer pipe, comprising at least an inner tubular film, a resin-carrier layer surrounding the inner tubular film, and comprising a mechanically protective outer film system. The outer film system comprises at least one outer film in the form of a UV-radiation- and short-wavelength, visible light-absorbing and/or -reflecting, single-layer or multi-layer film which contains, in one or more polymer layers, at least one short-wavelength, visible light-absorbing and/or—reflecting, organic or inorganic color pigment or a corresponding dye, and at least one organic or inorganic compound which absorbs and/or reflects the UV radiation. Moreover, the outer film system comprises at least one mechanically stable reinforcing web which rests on the aforementioned outer film. The outer film system has a transmittance for visible light at at least one wavelength in the range of 550 nm to 800 nm of at least 1%. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such an outer film system and to such an outer film system itself.
