Abstract

A process for improving the physical properties of flexible polyurethane foam comprises compression of the foam to less than half its original volume followed by removal of the forces causing compression and expansion of the compressed foam to approximately its original dimensions, characterized in that the expansion takes place in an atmosphere of a gas to which the foam is chemically inert, the gas being maintained at a temperature of from 80 DEG F to 300 DEG F. Suitable gas is carbon dioxide, nitrogen, oxygen and hydrogen. In examples the process is effected by passing foam, soon after its preparation, through rollers and allowing it to expand in air at 100 DEG to 105 DEG F. and at 110 DEG F. respectively.ALSO:A process for improving the physical properties of flexible polyurethane foam comprises compression of the foam to less than half its original volume followed by removal of the forces causing compression and expansion of the compressed foam to approximately its original dimensions, characterised in that the expansion takes place in an atmosphere of a gas to which the foam is chemically inert, the gas being maintained at a temperature of from 80 DEG F. to 300 DEG F.
