Ink retaining polyurethane foam

An ink retaining flexible polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting a polyether polyol with from 50 to 80 parts by weight, based on the weight of polyol, of a polyisocyanate component having one or a mixture of methylene diisocyanates. The foam has pore sizes above 70 pores per linear inch, preferab...

Zusammenfassung:An ink retaining flexible polyurethane foam is prepared by reacting a polyether polyol with from 50 to 80 parts by weight, based on the weight of polyol, of a polyisocyanate component having one or a mixture of methylene diisocyanates. The foam has pore sizes above 70 pores per linear inch, preferably in the range of 70 to 90 pores per linear inch in an uncompressed state. The foam is reticulated to improve liquid holding capacity, and, depending upon cell size, compressed into a container. The foam absorbs and retains ink, and is resistant against attack from ink, producing less than 2.0% solvent extractables.
