PRODUCTION METHOD OF LATEX FOAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a production method of latex foam which uses a material having small environmental load as a foam stabilizer when a hexafluorosilicate is used as a gelatinizer and forms latex foam having a cell structure finer than that in the case of using the 'Torimen(TM)' base.SOLUTION: A production method of latex foam comprises adding a vulcanizer, a foaming agent and a foam stabilizer to a rubber latex containing a dispersion medium and a dispersant to prepare a latex composition and mixing the latex complex with a gelatinizer and air to foam and gelatinize and heating and vulcanizing to form latex foam of a specified shape. The foaming agent is an anionic surfactant; the gelatinizer is a hexafluorosilicate; and the foam stabilizer is polyethylene-imine and/or a polyethylene-imine derivative.
