  • Method of producing a felted porous polychloroprene latex foam
    Patent number: 5213751
    Abstract: A method of felting porous polychloroprene latex foam to obtain desired properties. Such felting renders the finished foam suitable for controlled ink flow required for printing purposes. The felting is accomplished by reducing the volume of the porous polychloroprene latex foam and heating at a temperature of 400.degree. to 460.degree. F. for five to ten minutes.

  • Rechargeable inking member
    Patent number: 5132170
    Abstract: A rechargeable ink pad having particular use with solution ink. The ink pad has a bottom layer of porous polychloroprene latex foam with pore sizes of 200.mu. to 500.mu. and a top layer of polyethylene foam with pore sizes of 10.mu. to 20.mu.. The two layers are secured to one another by a fusible web adhesive. A method of customizing the porous polychloroprene latex layer to obtain desired properties by felting has been discovered. Such felting renders the finished porous polychloroprene latex foam suitable for controlled ink flow required for printing purposes.
