Abstract
Abstract A heat sensitive, but stable, gellant system is added to a foam latex during manufacture of the latex or as an additive ingredient being incorporated at the time of preparing the liquid foam compound. The system is comprised of an amphoteric surfactant acid or an amphoteric surfactant acid neutralized with a fixed alkali, said surfactant being capable of both sensitizing the latex emulsifier and functioning as a stabilizer; a water soluble ionizable organic or inorganic acid capable of activating the gelation mechanism and a water soluble, volatile, organic or inorganic base which is added in an amount sufficient to neutralize the combination of the surfactant and the acid to a pH of 8 to 12.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
71 words
A heat sensitive stable gellant system comprising (A) an amphoteric surfactant acid, (B) an ionizable acid, and (C) a water soluble volatile base having a boiling point range of -33° C. to 180° C. at 760 millimeters wherein the amount of the base is sufficient to result in a total gellant system pH of from 8 to 12 wherein the weight ratio of amphoteric surfactant to acid to base is 0.25-5.0/0.25-5.0/0.5-7.5.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
71 words
A heat sensitive stable gellant system comprising (A) an amphoteric surfactant acid, (B) an ionizable acid, and (C) a water soluble volatile base having a boiling point range of -33° C. to 180° C. at 760 millimeters wherein the amount of the base is sufficient to result in a total gellant system pH of from 8 to 12 wherein the weight ratio of amphoteric surfactant to acid to base is 0.25-5.0/0.25-5.0/0.5-7.5.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
51 words
A heat sensitive stable foam rubber latex containing the gellant system of claim 1 wherein the amount of amphoteric surfactant acid is 0.25 to 5.0 parts and the amount of ionizable acid is 0.25 to 5.0 parts, all parts being parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of latex solids.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
92 words
A process for producing a porous cellular solid foam from a rubber latex comprising adding the gellant system of claim 1 to a rubber latex prior to the addition of the vulcanization agents, foaming the latex, spreading the froth on a suitable textile substrate, drying the froth to form a foam and vulcanizing the foam wherein the amount of amphoteric surfactant acid is 0.25 to 5.0 parts and the amount of ionizable acid is 0.25 to 5.0 parts, all parts being parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of latex solids.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the amphoteric surfactant acid and ionizable acid are added to the latex separately each acid containing a portion of the base so that both components have a pH in the range of from 8 to 12.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
28 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the amphoteric surfactant acid, the ionizable acid and the water soluble volatile base are all combined together before addition to the latex.
