<p>The present disclosure includes embodiments directed toward producing multi-density foams from a single formulation. For example, in an embodiment, a polymer production system includes a mold (14) having a non-uniform thickness. The non-uniform thickness of the mold results in non-uniform local temperatures at an inner surface (26) of the mold upon heating the mold during the production of a foam part (12). The system further includes a fluorinated polymer coating disposed on the inner surface of the mold, wherein the fluorinated polymer coating is configured to facilitate the release of the foam part from the mold after the foam part has been produced.</p> |
