| 摘要 |
A method for molding open cell soft polyurethane foam is disclosed as incorporating an aqueous gel (30) of an acrylic acid polymer that is coated onto interior surfaces (18,20) of a mold (10) prior to introduction of a foamable liquid polyurethane mixture (32) whose foaming fills the mold cavity (22) as the aqueous gel functions as a solventless release agent that has good lubricity to facilitate filling of the cavity by the foam (34), prevents bonding of the foam (34) to the mold and also provides a thin film-like escape passage (36) for gas generated during the foaming. The acrylic acid polymer is preferably acid neutralized to provide the aqueous gel. The acrylic acid polymer and acid neutralizer are most preferably sprayed as separate aqueous mixtures onto the interior mold surfaces to provide the aqueous gel.
