Abstract
Molded latex foam blocks having dual densities and methods for the same are disclosed herein. The method may include preparing a latex composition including one or more rubber materials, disposing the latex composition into a mold, foaming the latex composition inside the mold, and curing the latex composition to produce a solid block of foam having dual densities. The solid block of foam may be a monolithic structure have a first side having a first density and a second side having a second density, where the first density is relatively greater than the second density.
Claims20
A method of manufacturing a latex foam product, the method comprising:
- preparing a latex composition comprising one or more rubber materials;
- disposing the latex composition into a mold;
- foaming the latex composition inside the mold;
- and
- curing the latex composition to produce a solid block of foam;
- wherein the solid block of foam has a top side with a first density and a bottom side with a second density, wherein the first density is different from the second density.
A molded latex foam block, comprising:
- one or more rubber materials,
- wherein the molded latex foam block is prepared in a single mold operation;
- wherein the molded latex foam block has a top side and a bottom side,
- wherein the top side has a first density and the bottom side has a second density, and
- wherein the first density is about 10% to about 90% of the second density.
A method of manufacturing a latex foam product, the method comprising:
- preparing a latex composition comprising one or more rubber materials having a rubber solids content of about 55% or less;
- disposing the latex composition into a mold;
- foaming the latex composition inside the mold;
- and
- curing the latex composition to produce a solid block of foam.
