A method for producing a skin-covered foamed molded article including blow-molding a parison in a mold cavity to form a skin consisting of a hollow molded body, in which the parison is in a softened state by extruding a molten thermoplastic resin, filling expanded beads in the hollow molded body, and heating and fusion bonding the beads by supplying steam via a steam supply pipe inserted into the hollow molded body. The parison is in contact with a protruding portion, formed by protrusion from an inner surface of the mold cavity to an inside of the cavity, forming a recessed portion having a shape corresponding to the protruding portion in the inward direction of the hollow molded body. A steam hole is formed in the recessed portion, a steam supply pipe is inserted into the body, and the expanded beads are heated and fusion bonded by supplying steam.

Method for producing skin-covered foamed molded article and apparatus for producing thereof

Provided is a method for manufacturing a foam-molded article by molding between molds a parison with a foam layer formed by extruding an expandable molten resin composition, obtained by melt-kneading a polyethylene resin and a physical foaming agent, to an area of low pressure from a die, wherein the polyethylene resin is selected from those having a melt flow rate of 0.1 to 25 g/10 minutes and a melt tension of not less than 1.5 cN, and wherein the apparent density of the foam layer in the foam-molded article is about 0.04 to 0.3 g/cm.

Foam-molded article and manufacturing method thereof

Description is made of an open cell polystyrene resin foam having a content of organic volatile matters of less than 100 ppm. The open cell foam is suitable as a core material for a sound insulating material or a vacuum heat insulating material. The open cell foam can be produced by melt-kneading a polystyrene resin having a content of organic volatile matters of 100 ppm or higher together with water in an extruder, sucking out the organic volatile matters as an azeotrope with water through a vent, injecting a blowing agent and kneading the injected mixture, and extruding the mixture into a lower pressure area to cause the resin to foam.

Core material for vacuum heat insulation material, and vacuum heat insulation material

The present invention relates to a hollow molded foam article in which a plurality of polypropylene resins are used as the base resin, and to a process for the production of this hollow molded foam article. More particularly, the present invention relates to a polypropylene resin hollow molded foam article having a foam layer, in which the base resin comprises (a) a polypropylene resin with a melt tension of at least 98 mN and a melt flow rate of 0.5 to 15 g/10 minutes, (b) a polypropylene resin with a melt tension of less than 30 mN (excluding O) and a melt flow rate of 2 to 30 g/10 minutes, and (c) a polypropylene resin with a melt tension of at least 30 mN and less than 98 mN and a melt flow rate of 2 to 15 g/10 minutes, formed by positioning in a mold a softened cylindrical foam having a foam layer obtained by extruding from the die of an extruder a foamable molten resin composition containing a foaming agent, wherein the melt tension at 230&#xb0; C. of the polypropylene resin that forms the foam layer is at least 10 mN and less than 49 mN, and the apparent density of the foam layer is no more than 0.3 g/cm.

Polypropylene resin hollow molded foam article and a process for the production thereof

A method for production of an extruded, polystyrene-based foam plate wherein a polystyrene-based resin is heated and kneaded together with a blowing agent, a flame retardant and a nucleating agent in an extruder to obtain a foamable molten composition, and the foamable molten composition is extruded through a die attached to an end of the extruder into a lower pressure zone. The blowing agent comprises not smaller than 25% by weight but not greater than 65% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of an isobutane-containing saturated hydrocarbon; not smaller than 5% by weight but not greater than 70% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of a dimethyl ether-containing ether; not smaller than 5% by weight but not greater than 55% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of carbon dioxide; and 0&#x2013;25% by weight, based on the total weight of the blowing agent, of other blowing agent components.

Method for production of extruded, polystyrene-based resin foam plate and extruded foam plate obtained thereby

A multi-layer expansion-molded article of a polypropylene resin, which is obtained by molding a multi-layer parison comprising a foamed resin layer and a resin layer provided on the outer side of the foamed resin layer 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 on the surface of a foamed polypropylene resin layer, 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 in the expansion-molded article satisfy the relationship [log MT&#x3e;&#x2212;0.74 log MFR+0.66], 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 on the surface of the foamed resin layer satisfy the relationship [log MT&#x3e;&#x2212;1.02 log MFR+0.47].
