Abstract
A flocked foam having an embossed pattern provided by a high-frequency welder is disclosed. The foam comprises a partially cross-linked foam substrate (10 to 75% gel fraction in boiling toluene for 15 hours) formed from a 1,2-polybutadiene resin or a polymer blend including a 1,2-polybutadiene resin as one component thereof, and modacrylic pile fibers or a mixture thereof with other pile fibers flocked on the surface of the foam substrate.
Claims10
A flocked foam having an embossed pattern provided by a high-frequency welder, said foam comprising a partially cross-linked foam substrate, having from 10 to 75% gel fraction in boiling toluene for 15 hours formed from (I) a (A) 1,2-polybutadiene resin or (B) a polymer blend, the polymeric components of which are a 1,2-polybutadiene resin as one component thereof and, as a second component thereof, a polymer selected from the group consisting of vinyl acetate/olefinic, vinyl alcohol/olefinic, and acrylic ester/olefinic copolymers containing more than about 10 mol% of polar component, and (II) modacrylic pile fibers consisting of 35% to 85% acrylonitrile and 65% to 15% vinyl chloride flocked on the surface of the foam substrate.
