Method of producing high-density PU foam material

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of producing high-density PU foam material, which is characterized by its process of using comminuted waste foam material, as its primary raw material which is then dried and filtered before mixing with other chemical agents in proportion, such as Voranol 3800 polyo, Isocyanate and relatively small amount of Catalysts to make the individual particle and also those agents between particles to swell to proper size in mold. Then, the yet foamed material is compressed in a mechanical way and cooled down slowly in natural manner to produce high-density PU foam material.

Description

Claims

1. A method of making a high-density polyurethane foam, comprising the steps of:

pulverizing a previously formed polyurethane foam to obtain particles having a size of 0.5 mm-3 mm;

drying said particles;

mixing said dried particles with a polyurethane-forming composition including a polyol and a diisocyanate compound to form a mixture;

placing said mixture within a mold;

compressing said mixture with said mold;

cooling said compressed mixture with said mold; and

releasing said compressed and cooled mixture from said mold.

2. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein said previously formed polyurethane foam is waste polyurethane foam.

3. A method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the polyurethane-forming composition consists essentially of polyol, diisocyanate, a catalyst and additives.

4. A method as claimed in claim 2, wherein the polyurethane-forming composition consists essentially of polyol, diisocyanate, a catalyst and additives.

5. A method as claimed in claim 1, further comprising the step of screening the pulverized particles before mixing.

6. A method as claimed in claim 2, further comprising the step of screening the pulverized particles before mixing.

7. A method as claimed in claim 3, further comprising the step of screening the pulverized particles before mixing.

8. A method as claimed in claim 4, further comprising the step of screening the pulverized particles before mixing.
