Abstract
Abstract Thermoplastic molding compositions in a lightweight, flexible form are described. The compositions are produced by sandwiching a pulverulent thermoplastic polymer and preferably a mixture of polypropylene flake with glass fibers, between two films of a thermoplastic polymer compatible with the pulverulent polymer and then heat sealing the resulting sandwich at least along the open edges to encapsulate the pulverulent polymer between the films.
