  • Viscoelastic rebond polyurethane foam structure
    Publication number: 20060106124
    Abstract: A rebond polyurethane foam structure is formed by mixing shredded particles of polyurethane foam wherein at least 20% by weight of such particles comprise particles of viscoelastic polyurethane foam. The foam particles are wetted with a liquid prepolymer binder that is cured when the wetted admixture is compressed at a compression ratio of at least about 3. Despite the small viscoelastic foam particle size and the effects of compression and binder curing, the resulting polyurethane foam structure surprisingly has a viscoelastic (slow recovery) character.
