Abstract
The disclosed technology generally relates to methods of forming foamed and non-foamed aqueous rubbers for use in automotive applications and which are configured to provide vibration and noise damping. In one aspect, a method of forming an elastomer comprises forming a latex solution and then curing the latex solution. Forming the latex solution comprises forming a medium by mixing water and ethylene glycol monobutyl ether (glycol ether EB) and then adding to the medium a rheology modifier, a dispersing agent, a wetting agent, a filler material, and a latex suspension. Water makes up 50-90 wt. % of the latex solution.
