摘要:
An olefin (co)polymer composition of the present invention comprises 99 to 70 wt. % of olefin (co)polymer (I) and 1 to 30 wt. % of polyethylene-based polymer (II). The olefin (co)polymer (I) comprises 0.01 to 5.0 parts by weight of high molecular weight polyethylene (a) having an intrinsic viscosity &eegr;A measured in tetralin at 135° C. of 15 to 100 dl/g, which is an ethylene homopolymer or an ethylene-olefin copolymer comprising at least 50 wt. % of ethylene polymerization units, and 100 parts by weight of olefin (co)polymer (b) other than the high molecular weight polyethylene. The polyethylene-based polymer (II) has an intrinsic viscosity &eegr;II measured in tetralin at 135° C. of 0.10 to 10 dl/g, which is an ethylene homopolymer or an ethylene copolymer comprising at least 50 wt. % of ethylene polymerization units. Thus, the present invention provides a polypropylene-based olefin (co)polymer composition having excellent formability that is suitable for thermoforming such as vacuum forming and pressure forming, blow molding and foam molding, especially suitable for thermoforming.
摘要:
Provided are a method for forming a foamed polypropylene resin sheet in which draw down and waving are not caused in heating the foamed sheet and in which inferior appearance such as partial thickness and wrinkles is not produced on the product, and a foamed formed article having an excellent shape obtained from the same. The method comprises a heating step for heating and softening the foamed polypropylene resin sheet and a forming step for bringing the heated foamed polypropylene resin sheet into contact with a forming mold to form it into a prescribed shape, wherein the foamed polypropylene resin sheet has an expansion ratio of 1.1 to 6 times, an open cell rate of 70% or less and a sheet thickness of 0.5 to 5 mm; and the foamed polypropylene resin sheet described above is heated in the heating step in the state that it is supported on a tabular sheet support.
