Abstract:
The present invention provides thick extruded foam which is extruded polyolefin resin foam having open cells, used for cushion material and packaging material and the like, which exhibits uniform physical product properties, high expansion ratio, and uniform cell diameter.The extruded open cell foam of the present invention is an extruded foam exhibiting an open cell foaming ratio of 50% or greater, the base resin whereof is principally composed of a mixed polymer consisting of 4.5 to 75 parts by weight of component A consisting of an ethylene ionomer resin, 0.5 to 30 parts by weight of component B consisting of a polyolefin resin having a melting point exceeding 120°C, and 20 to 95 parts by weight of component C consisting of one or two or more polymers selected from a group of ethylene-propylene rubbers, styrene elastomers, and polyethylene resins having melting points of 120°C or lower (where component A + component B + component C = 100 parts by weight). Various kinds of additives such as anti-shrinking agents can be mixed in this extruded foam.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a multi-layer expansion-molded article (1) of a polypropylene resin, which is obtained by molding a multi-layer parison comprising a foamed resin layer (12) and a resin layer (13) provided on the outer side of the foamed resin layer (12) in a mold in such manner that at least part of the opposed inner surfaces of foamed resin layer in the parison are fusion-bonded to each other, and has a polypropylene resin layer (13) on the surface of a foamed polypropylene resin layer (12), wherein a melt tension, MT (gf) and a melt flow rate, MFR (g/10 min) obtained by measurement to a polypropylene resin forming the foamed resin layer (12) in the expansion-molded article satisfy the following relationship (1), and a melt tension, MT (gf) and a melt flow rate, MFR (g/10 min) obtained by measurement to a polypropylene resin forming the resin layer (13) on the surface of the foamed resin layer (12) satisfy the following relationship (2) when the melt flow rate, MFR is at least 0.3 (g/10 min), or the melt tension, MT is at least 10 (gf) when the melt flow rate, MFR is not lower than 0.2 (g/10 min), but lower than 0.3 (g/10 min): log MT > -0.74 log MFR + 0.66 log MT > -1.02 log MFR + 0.47
Abstract:
A molten resin mixed with a foaming agent by means of an extruder is extruded to form a cylindrical foamed parison, and the parison is placed in a mold and blow-molded to obtain a hollow blow-molded foam. In this case, where a polypropylene resin is used as a base resin, there could not be obtained a molded foam having a high expansion ratio and a large wall thickness. In the present invention, for the production of a blow-molded foam, there is used a base resin which is mainly composed of a polypropylene resin and has, at 230 DEG C, a melt tension (MT) of 10 gf or over and a melt flow rate (MFR) of 0.5 g/10 minutes or over. A foaming agent is added to the base resin, followed by melt kneading by means of an extruder under high temperature and high pressure conditions to provide a foamable melt. This melt is subjected to extrusion from a circular die 5 and expanded to form a cylindrical foamed parison 4. Thereafter, molds 6,6 are clamped, and the parison 4 in a softened condition is placed in the molds 6, 6, and a pressurized gas is blown into the parison 4 from a gas blowing port 7 for blow molding in the form of a hollow shape conforming to the mold profile to produce a blow-molded foam.
