Abstract
In producing a foam by foaming a melt-plasticized styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer resin, a process for producing a highly foamed styrene/maleic anhydride copolymer resin foam characterized by using as the blowing agent at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a carboxylate of a metal of group Ia of the periodic table of elements, a carbonate of a metal of group Ia, a carboxylate of a metal of group IIa and a carbonate of a metal of group IIa; or by first blending with said copolymer resin at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a carboxylate of a metal of group Ia of the periodic table of elements, a carbonate of a metal of group Ia, a carboxylate of a metal of group IIa and a carbonate of a metal of group IIa, then melt-blending the mixture, followed by extruding and granulating the blend to form a pre-expanded granular product, and thereafter foaming the granular product thus obtained.
