Abstract
A coated viscoelastic polyurethane foam includes a viscoelastic polyurethane foam having the coating thereon, the viscoelastic polyurethane foam having a resiliency of less than or equal to 20% as measured according to ASTM D3574, and a coating material on and embedded within the viscoelastic polyurethane foam, the coating material including an aqueous polymer emulsion and an encapsulated phase change material.
Claims8
A coated viscoelastic polyurethane foam, comprising:
- a viscoelastic polyurethane foam that is a product of a reaction system having an isocyanate component that includes at least one isocyanate and an isocyanate-reactive component that includes a polyol component, and the isocyanate index of the reaction system being from 50 to 150, wherein the polyol component includes a blend of at least three polyols, the blend including:
- (i) a polyoxyethylene-polyoxypropylene polyether polyol that has an ethylene oxide content of at least 50 wt %, has a nominal hydroxyl functionality from 2 to 4, has a number average molecular weight from 700 g/mol to 1500 g/mol, and accounts for 25 wt % to 90 wt % of the isocyanate-reactive component,
- (ii) a polyoxypropylene-polyoxyethylene polyether polyol that has an ethylene oxide content of less than 20 wt %, has a nominal hydroxyl functionality from 2 to 4, has a number average molecular weight greater than 1500 g/mol and less than 6000 g/mol, and accounts for 5 wt % to 50 wt % of the isocyanate-reactive component, and
- (iii) a polyoxypropylene polyether polyol that has a nominal hydroxyl functionality from 2 to 4, has a number average molecular weight from 700 g/mol to 1500 g/mol, and accounts for 5 wt % to 50 wt % of the isocyanate-reactive component;
- a coating material on and embedded within the viscoelastic polyurethane foam, the coating material including one or more aqueous polymer emulsions and one or more preformed encapsulated phase change materials;
- and
- wherein the one or more aqueous polymer emulsions comprises, as copolymerized units, from 0.3% to 2.5% by weight, based on dry polymer weight, (meth)acrylic acid.
