Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9907618A1] A palletized load system for a viscoelastic material and a method for creating such a system by placing a tray (12) on a pallet (13), stacking polymeric, melt processable, film packages (11) of viscoelastic material on the tray and applying a stetchwrap (14) about the periphery of the pallet, the tray and the bags, said wrap overlying and extending down the side supports (13b) of the pallet at least 2,5 cm (one inch) from the edge of the upwardly facing surface of the pallet top (13a). The system inhibits cold flow of the viscoelastic material during shipping and storage and the film packages can be consumed in subsequent viscoelastic material processing operations, thus yielding a reliable, environment-friendly means for transporting and shipping viscoelastic materials.
