What happenes why rubber absourbs soundwaves?
1) The rubber itself is a poor conductor but good absorber, of sound.2) The myriad of air-filled foam cells individually act as acoustic absorbers by both the impedance mis-match between air and rubber at their walls, and by the complex acoustics of the air bubbles.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of polyurethane foam?
There are two kinds of polyurethane (PUR) foam - rigid and flexible. Rigid foam is used to make hard products like surfboards. Flexible foam is used as padding.Rigid foam has a lot going for it: It is relatively lightweight. It is strong. It makes a good thermal insulator. A foam-plastic composite can be made with fiberglass and polyester resin rather than cloth and epoxy. (Epoxy is much more dangerous to handle than polyester, and it's far more expensive.)Flexible foam is also a good product: Because of the way it is made - you stir two liquid chemicals and a "blowing agent," which makes it foam up, together and pour it into a mold - you can create all sorts of custom shapes. It's hypoallergenic, which foam rubber is not. It's less expensive than real foam rubber. And you can alter the firmness of the finished foam by choosing the components properly.Disadvantages? The two chemicals it's made from are hazardous. Many, but not all, PUR foams are flammable. If you do manage to set this stuff on fire, here's what happens.The combustion temperature of PUR foam is about 2000 degrees Fahrenheit, and it burns so fiercely fire departments call PUR foam "solid gasoline." I have seen a PUR fire in person. They aren't kidding.The two main components of PUR smoke are carbon monoxide and hydrogen cyanide. Both are lethal gases.If you are in a PUR fire, one of three things is going to happen to you: You could roast to death. If the heat doesn't kill you, the toxic gases will kill you. If you survive both of those, you can look forward to quivering muscles, venous blood that looks like arterial blood, and weird liver enzyme test results for the rest of your days because hydrogen cyanide affects the central nervous system, the bloodstream and the liver.

How do you clean mold on foam rubber from the inside of a boat seat?
I am looking for an answer to the same question; but I have found nothing. Here is what I am going to do. Put on rubber or waterproof boots or shoes and gloves. Dilute 1/2 to 3/4 cup bleach into a gallon of warm water. Outside, sweep off an area of concrete or deck. Remove foam rubber from cover. Lay the foam rubber on the surface. Saturate the piece of foam rubber with a sponge or garden sprayer. Carefully turn foam rubber over at least once while applying the bleach solution. Let stand for 10 minutes or so. Spray the foam rubber with soapy water or dump it on from a bucket. Agitate the foam rubber with your hands or feet Rinse with garden hose, walking on the foam rubber to remove soap/bleach. repeat until all traces are gone. Get as much water out of foam rubber as possible and let dry. Move it to a dry place on a slope, stand on end, or suspend it to facilitate draining and drying Be careful, lifting soaked foam rubber may rip it.
