Abstract
Rebond polyurethane foams can be prepared by coating shredded polyurethane foam with a prepolymer binder formulation which includes toluene diisocyanate distillation bottoms, compressing the binder coated foam, and the curing the binder with steam. The toluene diisocyanate distillation bottoms can be used in place of more expensive prepolymer formulation components such as toluene diisocyanate or methylene diphenyldiisocyanate. The toluene diisocyanate distillation bottoms can also improve elongation and tear resistance properties of the resultant rebond foams prepared therewith.
