    Abstract: A method of minimizing compression set of foam includes introducing a composition including a first component and a second component that is reactive with the first component into a cavity of a mold, curing the composition to form a foam inside the cavity, demolding the foam, and heating the foam by induction after demolding to thereby minimize compression set of the foam. A method includes introducing the composition into the cavity, heating the mold via conduction of the mold to thereby cure the composition and form the foam inside the cavity, heating the foam by induction before demolding to thereby minimize compression set of the foam, and demolding the foam. The foam includes a reaction product of the first and second components. The foam has a compression set after heat aging of ?10% at 10 minutes after the foam is demolded from the cavity of the mold.
