摘要:
Foamable modified polystyrene resin particles (E) comprising a particle of a modified polystyrene resin (C) containing a blowing agent (D), wherein the modified polystyrene resin (C) comprises conjugated diene polymer rubber particles (B) dispersed uniformly throughout a polystyrene resin (A) and when the foamable modified polystyrene resin particle (E) is expanded, there is substantially no deformation of the rubber particles (B) before and after the expansion. A foamed article of a modified polystyrene resin which has a cell membrane of the modified polystyrene resin comprising a polystyrene resin and conjugated diene polymer rubber particles dispersed uniformly throughout the polystyrene resin and has a fusion rate of not less than 50%, wherein the rubber particles maintain substantially spherical form in the cell membrane. According to the present invention, the foamed article of the modified polystyrene resin having break resistance and fusion rate which are equal to those of a high impact polystyrene foamed article can be provided at low cost.
摘要:
In a process for pre-expanding thermoplastic resin particles which comprises releasing into a low pressure zone a mixture of water and thermoplastic resin particles containing a volatile blowing agent, the mixture being maintained at an elevated temperature under pressure in a pressure vessel, the improvement which comprises releasing the mixture through a plurality of orifice plates in series in the direction of release of the mixture. According to the process of the present invention, the average cell diameter of the obtained pre-expanded particles is larger than that of the pre-expanded particles obtained by means of conventional methods. Therefore, the molded articles prepared from the pre-expanded particles according to the present invention are small in shrinkage and excellent in surface appearance, and are utilizable for use as shock absorbing, wrapping materials or structural materials such as impact-absorbing materials for cars (for example, a car bumper), which require excellent dimensional precision and heat insulating building materials.
摘要:
A pre-expanded particle suitable for foaming in a mold comprising non-crosslinked linear low density polyethylene which has a characteristic property that an inclination of slope line obtained on a graph when logarithmic values of melt tension of the polyolefin are plotted as ordinate and reciprocals of absolute temperature at which the melt tension is measured are plotted as abscissa is not more than 1,500 is provided. A foamed article produced from the pre-expanded particles has an excellent appearance, a flat surface and good mechanical strength, and is useful for wrapping material, insulating material, a container or a fender of cars.
