Abstract:
1. A process for making a thermoplastic dunnage platform, comprising the steps of: providing a forming mold adapted to receive an expanded polymer core, wherein said polymer core has been inserted into the forming mold, where a first side of the expanded polymer core and at least half the thickness of the expanded polymer core have been combined with a first high impact polymer sheet, wherein the polymer core has been removed from the forming mold; reinserting the expanded polymer core in the forming mold, wherein a second side of the expanded polymer core and at least half the thickness of the expanded polymer core extend from the mold; heating a second high impact polymer sheet; and substantially surrounding the second side of the expanded polymer core and at least half the thickness of the expanded polymer core with the second high impact polymer sheet.
