Abstract

A unique substantially non-flammable impregnant for polyether-derived polyurethane foam substrates is disclosed. The impregnant is characterized by a carboxylated neoprene latex and an alumina trihydrate. It can be further characterized by a diammonium hydrogen phosphate, urea, a magnesium-zinc complex, a surfactant and water. A method for applying the impregnant to the mentioned substrate is also disclosed. That method is characterized by depositing the impregnant on the substrate, impregnating and curing it, and recovering a substantially non-flammable product. That impregnated polyether-derived polyurethane foam product can be configurated as a laminate and adhered to some other substrate. Articles like mattresses and cushions can be advantageously fabricated using the unique impregnant.
