Background technology
In the past, the expandable polystyrene resin beads that the whipping agent that infiltrates in styrene resin particles is formed prepares foaming and makes the preparation expanded particle, this preparation expanded particle is filled in the shaping die of forming mill, heating then, make its foaming, mutually fuse integrated, thereby make foaming and molding container with desired shape.
As mentioned above, the foaming and molding container is the blow(ing) pressure by preparation expanded particle self, make the foaming of preparation expanded particle, heat fusion is integrated between the expanded particle forms, but the contact part office between these expanded particles, be not to be heat fusion all sidedly between the expanded particle, and just partly heat fusion is integrated.
Therefore, even be in good state between the foaming and molding container expanded particle, promptly, in the section of foaming and molding container, be in the visual incorporate state of complete heat fusion down between the surface of expanded particle, because gap in the contact part between the expanded particle, that result from non-heat fusion part is continuous to inward-outward direction, thereby has formed the state that the visual fine kapillary that can not confirm down connects between the interior outside of foaming and molding container.
This situation can be confirmed by following phenomenon occurring: add the dyestuff that contains tensio-active agent in the foaming and molding container, after continuing to place the specified time, the dyestuff in the foaming and molding container oozes out to the outside by the kapillary that forms between expanded particle.
When using such foaming and molding container to use cup as the such beverage of coffee, though in practicality, can not produce any obstacle, but there are the following problems: the long-time bag trapped fuel foodstuff that continues in the foaming and molding container, the salad oil of for example fried cake circle, hamburger, fried chicken, oleomargarine etc., when containing the food of grease etc., the kapillary that the oil component that contains in these oily food classes is shaped in can be by the foaming and molding container oozes out to the outside.
Equally, in the foaming and molding container, if the auxiliary material class of holding instant noodles and containing curry powder is preserved, then the xanthein of curry powder oozes out to foaming and molding container outside by the kapillary of foaming and molding container, has the impaired problem of commodity value.
For the foaming and molding container that obtains preventing that such wet goods from oozing out to the outside, its problem is: eliminate the kapillary occur between the expanded particle of foaming and molding container, its immediate cause that to be oil component and moisture ooze out in the molding container.In order to solve this problem, following method is arranged: improve the Heating temperature when being shaped, the fused film of making resin on the surface of foaming and molding container, perhaps, Heating temperature when being shaped by reducing prolongs heat-up time and fully heats molding inside, thereby eliminates the space between expanded particle.Yet if when bringing up to the forming temperature that can form fused film, the part of molding container can be shunk, thereby appearance damage; In addition, if when forming temperature is low, the blow(ing) pressure of preparation expanded particle self becomes insufficient, thereby the fusion of molding worsens, and productivity is also poor, therefore industrial be not useful method.
In the past, when being used in container etc., the conventional art as the expansion-molded article that soaks into of the content that can reduce wet goods disclosed for example patent documentation 1,2.
In patent documentation 1, the technical scheme at the surface-coated super absorbent resin of foamable polystyrene resin particle has been proposed.
In patent documentation 2, the technical scheme of lining fluorinated block copolymer on expandable thermoplastic resin has been proposed.
Patent documentation 1: the spy opens flat 4-272942 communique

Below, the manufacture method of expansion-molded article of the present invention is described.
In order to make expandable styrene resin beads, use known kind of polymerization (seeding polymerization method) as the manufacturing raw material of expansion-molded article of the present invention.Plant as employed grain among the present invention, can use by the resulting material of manufacture method of known styrene resin particles in the past.Can exemplify out following method: in above-mentioned styrenic monomers, add cross-linkable monomer, in water, make its suspension polymerization make the method for polystyrene resin grain kind then; Perhaps phenylethylene resin series is supplied in the forcing machine, carry out melting mixing, from forcing machine,, cut off every specified length with strand form or spherical the extruding of cardinal principle, thus the method for manufacturing phenylethylene resin series grain kind etc.Consider that from the angle of foaming and molding, rerum natura the weight-average molecular weight of above-mentioned styrene resin particles is preferred 150,000~400,000, more preferably 250,000~350,000.
The problem that will solve as the present invention for the pigment of the oil component that prevents to contain and curry powder etc. is exuded to the outside, preferably improves the oil-proofness on expansion-molded article surface in food etc.Aspect the oil-proofness raising that makes the expansion-molded article that obtains by the such foaming and molding method that is called as pearl method (PVC one ズ method) of the present invention, because the top layer of expandable styrene resin beads is a lot of in the situation that the surface of expansion-molded article exposes, so the essential cross-linking density that improves above-mentioned resin particle surface.And then, keeping excellent foaming and molding in order to make above-mentioned expandable styrene resin beads, the central part of preferred resin particle contains the alap phenylethylene resin series of cross-linking density.
Then, after being scattered in above-mentioned grain kind 100 mass parts in the aqueous medium, remain on 80 ℃~110 ℃, then in this dispersion liquid, the styrenic monomers that will contain 20~100 mass parts, quality with respect to described styrenic monomers is that the cross-linkable monomer of 0.2~1.0 quality % and the monomer solution of polymerization starter were supplied with certain proportion with 60~180 minutes, grown up in the top layer of containing the polystyrene resin that the styrenic monomers that will contain cross-linkable monomer is polymerized, and then the easy volatile whipping agent is infiltrated make expandable polystyrene resin beads.
For the present invention, in above-mentioned polymerization process, add cross-linkable monomer, cross-linkable monomer preferably in part or all of styrenic monomers the dissolving back add.If add cross-linkable monomer and styrenic monomers individually, then in crosslinking structure, produce inequality, can not get uniform expandable styrene resin beads probably.
Plant 100 mass parts with respect to grain, the addition of styrenic monomers is made as the scope of 20~100 mass parts.If the skin depth of the expandable styrene resin beads that styrenic monomers less than 20 mass parts, is then made is thin, appearance can not be brought into play the problem of sufficient oil-proofness.In addition, if styrenic monomers surpasses 100 mass parts, then in the grain kind, permeate too much, the top layer of the expandable styrene resin beads that obtains is blocked up, thereby foaming power is impaired, between the particle bonding dying down, to ooze out change many from interparticle for the oil component that content not only occurs, and the problem that the intensity of molding reduces occurs.
In addition, with respect to the quality of the styrenic monomers of adding, the addition of cross-linkable monomer is set in the scope of 0.2~1.0 quality %.If cross-linkable monomer less than 0.2 quality %, the crosslinking structure deficiency on the top layer of the expandable styrene resin beads of then making, appearance can not be brought into play the problem of sufficient oil-proofness.On the other hand, then excessively crosslinked if cross-linkable monomer surpasses 1.0 quality %, have that foaming power is impaired, the expanded particle gap of molding becomes the problem of oozing out increase big, oil component.
The temperature of adding above-mentioned monomer solution is made as 80~110 ℃ scope.If this temperature is lower than 80 ℃, then polymerization velocity is slack-off, and styrenic monomers becomes and penetrates into the inside of phenylethylene resin series grain kind easily, can not carry out crosslinked in skin section efficiently.In addition, if than 110 ℃ of high temperature, then the styrenic monomers of Tian Jiaing was just carried out polymerization before being absorbed into polystyrene resin grain kind, the assimilated efficiency variation in polystyrene resin beads, and production efficiency worsens, thereby is not preferred.
As making above-mentioned styrenic monomers absorb grain employed polymerization starter when carrying out polymerization in planting, be not particularly limited, can exemplify out benzoyl peroxide, lauryl peroxide, peroxidized t-butyl perbenzoate, tert-butyl peroxide, the peroxidation trimethylacetic acid tert-butyl ester, tert-butylperoxy isopropyl carbonate, peroxide acetic acid butyl ester, 2,2-pair-(t-butyl peroxy) butane, peroxidation-3,3, the 5-tri-methyl hexanoic acid tert-butyl ester, organo-peroxide or Diisopropyl azodicarboxylates such as peroxidation six hydrogen terephthalic acid di tert butyl carbonates, azo two azo-compounds such as (methyl pentane nitriles) etc., can be with they independent uses, or a plurality of merging is used.
As above-mentioned polymerization starter, the preferred decomposition temperature that merges the transformation period that is used to obtain 10 hours is to be equal to or greater than 50 ℃ and be 80 ℃~120 ℃ polymerization starter less than 80 ℃ polymerization starter and the decomposition temperature that is used to obtain 10 hours transformation period.With respect to styrenic monomers 100 mass parts, preferred 0.01~3 mass parts of the addition of polymerization starter.
In above-mentioned dispersion liquid,, can add suspension stabilizer or stabilization aid in order to improve the dispersion stabilization that polystyrene grain kind and grain are planted.
As above-mentioned suspension stabilizer, can exemplify out water-soluble polymer or insoluble mineral compound such as calcium phosphate, magnesium pyrophosphate such as polyvinyl alcohol, methylcellulose gum, polyacrylamide, polyvinylpyrrolidone.Under the situation of using the insoluble mineral compound, merge usually and use anion surfactant.
As such anion surfactant, can exemplify out senior soap such as alkylbenzene sulfonates such as alkyl-sulphate, Sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, sodium oleate, β-tetrahydroxy naphthalenesulfonates etc. such as Sodium Lauryl Sulphate BP/USP.
Then, make the infiltration of easy volatile whipping agent in the styrene resin particles that obtains by above-mentioned kind of polymerization, make the expandable styrene resin beads.
