Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
89 words
A process for forming a flexible foam having a strengthened scrubbing portion comprising: (a) impregnating one surface of the foam to a depth below the scrubbing portion with a liquid, polyurethane adhesive composition and (b) thereafter, curing the adhesive composition, wherein said adhesive composition contains a heat activatable catalyst, normally in a solid state at ambient temperature, which resists premature curing, said catalyst being activated during said curing and catalyzing the hardening of said adhesive wherein the catalyst is a zinc alkanoate having from 8 to 18 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
