Abstract
An improved refrigerator cabinet construction is described which comprises, in laminated sequence, a metal outer layer, a foam layer, a composite release film and, strongly bonded thereto, an ABS layer. The laminate has a strong bond between all but two of the various contiguous layers and a weak bond between the remaining pair of contiguous layers, such that when the laminate is cycled between room temperature and -22.degree. C., only the weak bond is ruptured, the location of the weak bond being such that, in the event it were to be ruptured, the ABS layer and the portion of the laminate remaining adhered thereto would be reprocessable to produce an ABS with a Gardner impact strength that is at least 85% of that of the original ABS sheet incorporated in the laminate.
