The material foams and solidifies in the mold. After the foam is completely solidified, the prepared base layer (1) is taken out from the mold; Step 2, preparing the buffer layer (2): premixing the polyether polyol, amine catalyst, carbon fiber, foaming agent, surfactant, flame retardant and stabilizer in a blender, adding toluene diisocyanate to the premixed polyol mixture, stirring rapidly, and spraying the mixed material onto the base layer (1) through a mold. The material foams and solidifies in the mold. After the foam is completely solidified, the mold is disassembled to form the buffer layer (2); Step 3, preparing the surface layer (3): forming the composite ultrafine fibers into a fabric in a non-woven manner, and performing surface modification to prepare the prepared surface layer (3), bonding the prepared surface layer (3) to the prepared buffer layer (2) using an isocyanate-based adhesive, and performing post-processing such as cutting and polishing to prepare a wax-free pad.
