Patent number: 5089328Abstract: A method of making a lightweight panel having a relatively soft foam-backed cover sheet supported on a relatively hard, self-supporting core in one simple step. An assembly of foam layers is built up comprising a core-forming foam layer, an intermediate foam layer, and a cover-backing foam layer, with a scrim sheet over the core-forming foam layer and a cover sheet over the cover-backing foam layer. The core-forming layer is impregnated with a heat-activatable hardening compound. The intermediate layer as well as the cover-backing layer may also, if desired, be impregnated with a heat-activatable hardening compound but usually in lesser amounts. The hardening compound coats the cell walls of the foam. The panel is formed by subjecting this layered assembly to heat and pressure between contoured dies in a single compression molding operation at a temperature at which the hardening compound is activated.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1988Date of Patent: February 18, 1992Assignee: Van Dresser CorporationInventors: Richard P.
