Description

本発明は、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シート及びその製造方法、並びに、成形品の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet, a method for producing the same, and a method for producing a molded product.

今日、即席麺の容器が多種多様に提供されており、この即席麺を包装し或いは調理するための容器は、輸送中或いは保管中に加えられる衝撃に対して強く、外観性に優れていることが要求され、このような要求を満たすために、即席麺の容器の原反として、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートの一面にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シートが積層されてなるものが汎用されている。   Today, instant noodle containers are provided in a wide variety. Containers for packaging or cooking instant noodles are strong against impacts applied during transportation or storage, and have excellent appearance. In order to satisfy such a requirement, a material in which a polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet is laminated on one surface of a polystyrene resin foam sheet is widely used as a raw material for instant noodle containers.

そして、即席麺の容器の外面には印刷が施されるが、その印刷要領としては、即席麺の容器の原反の表面に印刷を施したフィルムを積層した上で原反を即席麺の容器に成形する方法の他、原反を即席麺の容器形状に成形した後に即席麺の容器の外面に曲面印刷機を用いて直接、印刷を施す方法が挙げられる。   The outer surface of the instant noodle container is printed, and the printing procedure is as follows. In addition to the method of forming the original noodles, there is a method in which the raw fabric is formed into an instant noodle container shape and then printed directly on the outer surface of the instant noodle container using a curved surface printing machine.

しかしながら、曲面印刷機を用いて即席麺の容器の外面に印刷を施す場合には、容器の外面の状態によっては、印刷した文字や模様が滲んだり或いは印刷がかすれるといった問題が発生していた。   However, when printing is performed on the outer surface of the instant noodle container using a curved surface printing machine, depending on the state of the outer surface of the container, there has been a problem that printed characters and patterns are blurred or the printing is faint.

そこで、特許文献1には、即席麺の原反として、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートと非発泡ポリスチレン系樹脂フィルムとが積層一体化されてなり、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートがポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートと非発泡ポリスチレン系樹脂フィルムの界面から200μmまでの範囲において410〜5000個/mm2 の平均気泡数を有するポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが提案されている。 Therefore, in Patent Document 1, as a raw material for instant noodles, a polystyrene resin foam sheet and a non-foamed polystyrene resin film are laminated and integrated, and the polystyrene resin foam sheet is not foamed with a polystyrene resin foam sheet. A polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet having an average cell number of 410 to 5000 / mm 2 in the range from the interface of the polystyrene-based resin film to 200 μm has been proposed.

一方、原反から即席麺の容器を得るには、先ず、長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを連続的に成形機の加熱炉に供給し、加熱炉にてポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートをその両側に配設した加熱ヒータによって加熱してポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを軟化させた後、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形機の成形ダイに連続的に供給して即席麺の容器形状にプレス成形することによって即席麺の容器を連続的に製造することができる。   On the other hand, in order to obtain a container of instant noodles from the raw fabric, first, a long polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is continuously supplied to a heating furnace of a molding machine, and the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is supplied in the heating furnace. After heating with the heaters arranged on both sides to soften the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet, the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is continuously fed to the molding die of the molding machine and pressed into a container shape for instant noodles. By molding, a container for instant noodles can be continuously produced.

そして、一般的に深さの深い容器を成形するためには、成形時におけるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの伸びを良くするために、加熱炉において、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの加熱温度を高くしたり或いは加熱時間を長くするなどの方策がとられる。   In general, in order to mold a deep container, the heating temperature of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is increased in a heating furnace in order to improve the elongation of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet during molding. Or measures such as increasing the heating time are taken.

ところが、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの加熱温度を高くすると、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが柔らかくなるために、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが自重により垂れ下がる現象、所謂、ドローダウン現象が発生し易くなる。   However, when the heating temperature of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is increased, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet becomes soft, so that a phenomenon in which the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet hangs down due to its own weight, that is, a so-called draw-down phenomenon easily occurs.

このドローダウン現象が発生すると、加熱炉におけるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートと加熱ヒータとの距離が両面間において不均一となり、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの加熱ムラが発生し、得られる成形品の肉厚が不均一となったり、或いは、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの一部分が過度に加熱されて外観が低下するといった問題点が生じていた。   When this draw-down phenomenon occurs, the distance between the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet and the heater in the heating furnace becomes non-uniform between the two surfaces, resulting in uneven heating of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet, and the resulting molded product meat There has been a problem that the thickness becomes non-uniform, or a part of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is excessively heated to deteriorate the appearance.

ここで、特許文献1で開示されているポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、段落番号〔0029〕から明らかなように、その発泡シートの一面に非発泡フィルムを積層一体化させるにあたっては押出ラミネート法が用いられている。   Here, as is clear from the paragraph number [0029], the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet disclosed in Patent Document 1 uses an extrusion laminating method to laminate and integrate a non-foamed film on one surface of the foamed sheet. It is used.

このように、押出ラミネート法を用いてポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを製造する場合、長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートを巻き出しながら、この発泡シート上に、押出機から押出された直後の溶融状態の非発泡フィルムを連続的に積層させる一方、上記発泡シートと上記非発泡フィルムとは、その長さ方向に張力が加えられた状態で積層一体化されることから、得られるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、その長さ方向に歪みが残存した状態となっている。   Thus, when producing a polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet using the extrusion laminating method, the melt immediately after being extruded from the extruder on the foam sheet while unwinding the long polystyrene resin foam sheet. While the non-foamed film in a state is continuously laminated, the foamed sheet and the non-foamed film are laminated and integrated in a state in which a tension is applied in the length direction thereof, so that the obtained polystyrene-based resin laminate The foam sheet is in a state in which strain remains in the length direction.

従って、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを連続的に巻き出し、成形機の加熱炉にてポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを連続的に加熱した後、成形機の成形ダイで成形した場合、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、上記加熱炉における加熱に伴って、歪みが緩和されて収縮するが、その収縮方向は、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの長さ方向(巻き出し方向)であることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが収縮したとしても、この収縮は、連続的に巻き出されるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートによって吸収されてしまうことがあり、上述のドローダウン現象を効果的に防止することできないことがあった。   Therefore, when the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is continuously unwound and the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is continuously heated in the heating furnace of the molding machine, and then molded with the molding die of the molding machine, the polystyrene resin lamination The foamed sheet is shrunk with the strain being relaxed with the heating in the heating furnace, but the shrinking direction is the length direction (unwinding direction) of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foamed sheet. Even if the laminated foam sheet shrinks, the shrinkage may be absorbed by the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet that is continuously unwound, and the above-described drawdown phenomenon may not be effectively prevented. It was.

そこで、ドローダウン現象を防止できる程度にポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが収縮するように、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにその長さ方向に大きな歪みを残存させることも考えられるが、このように過度の歪みを残存させると、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、長さ方向に自由な状態となっていることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートがその長さ方向に大きな収縮変形を生じてしまい、成形機の成形ダイにおいてポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを安定した状態で成形することができないといった別の問題を生じた。   Therefore, it may be possible to leave a large strain in the length direction of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet so that the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet contracts to such an extent that the drawdown phenomenon can be prevented. If the strain remains, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is in a free state in the length direction, and the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet undergoes large shrinkage deformation in the length direction, and the molding machine Another problem was that the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet could not be stably molded in the molding die.

更に、非発泡ポリスチレン系樹脂フィルムが積層一体化されるポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートは、通常、製造された後に所定期間だけ室温にて熟成された上で用いられるが、熟成期間中の気温の変動や、熟成期間の変動が原因となって、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート中に残存する発泡ガス量に増減が生じ、この発泡ガス量の変化によって、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート上に非発泡ポリスチレン系樹脂フィルムを積層一体化させる際や、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形のために加熱した際における、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートと非発泡ポリスチレン系樹脂フィルムとの界面での微細気泡の発生状態が変化し、或いは、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの上記収縮量が変動するなどして、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートから成形品を製造する際の成形条件を一定にすることが難しい上に成形条件幅も狭く、得られる成形品の品質にバラツキが生じるといった問題点があった。   Furthermore, a polystyrene-based resin foam sheet in which non-expanded polystyrene-based resin films are laminated and integrated is usually used after being aged at room temperature for a predetermined period after being manufactured. The amount of foaming gas remaining in the polystyrene resin foam sheet increases and decreases due to fluctuations in the aging period, and the change in the amount of foam gas causes the non-expanded polystyrene resin film on the polystyrene resin foam sheet. The state of occurrence of fine bubbles at the interface between the polystyrene resin foam sheet and the non-expanded polystyrene resin film when the laminate is integrated or when the polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet is heated for molding, or The above-mentioned shrinkage amount of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet fluctuates, so that the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet Molding conditions Width molding conditions in producing et moldings on is difficult to constant even narrow, there is a problem that variations in the quality of the molded article obtained may occur.

特開平10−16025号公報(特許請求の範囲、段落番号〔0029〕)Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-16025 (claims, paragraph number [0029])

本発明は、成形時においてドローダウン現象を生じさせることなく所望形状に正確に安定した成形条件下にて成形することができるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シート及びこのポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの製造方法、並びに、このポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを用いた成形品の製造方法を提供する。   The present invention is a polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet that can be molded into a desired shape under stable molding conditions without causing a drawdown phenomenon during molding, and a method for producing the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet, And the manufacturing method of the molded article using this polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is provided.

本発明の長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAは、押出発泡によって得られたポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1の一面にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2を共押出法により積層一体化してなる長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートであって、125℃にて150秒間に亘って加熱すると、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面がその幅方向に−45〜−15%の寸法変化率で収縮し、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を内側にして幅方向に円弧状に変形するように構成されていることを特徴とする。   The long polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A of the present invention is formed by laminating and integrating a polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 on one surface of a polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer 1 obtained by extrusion foaming by a coextrusion method. When it is a long polystyrene-based resin laminated foamed sheet and heated at 125 ° C. for 150 seconds, the surface of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer has a dimensional change rate of −45 to −15% in the width direction. It is characterized in that it is configured to be deformed in a circular arc shape in the width direction with the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer inside.

本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAのポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1を構成するポリスチレン系樹脂としては、特に限定されず、例えば、スチレン、α−メチルスチレン、ビニルトルエン、クロロスチレン、エチルスチレン、i−プロピルスチレン、t−ブチルスチレン、ジメチルスチレンなどのスチレン系単量体の単独重合体又はこれらの共重合体などが挙げられる。   It does not specifically limit as polystyrene-type resin which comprises the polystyrene-type resin foam sheet 1 of the polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet A of this invention, For example, styrene, (alpha) -methylstyrene, vinyl toluene, chlorostyrene, ethyl styrene, Examples thereof include homopolymers of styrene monomers such as i-propylstyrene, t-butylstyrene, and dimethylstyrene, or copolymers thereof.

又、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂としては、上記スチレン系単量体を主成分とする、上記スチレン系単量体と、このスチレン系単量体と共重合可能なビニル単量体との共重合体であってもよく、このようなビニル単量体としては、例えば、メチル(メタ)アクリレート、エチル(メタ)アクリレート、ブチル(メタ)アクリレート、セチル(メタ)アクリレートなどのアルキル(メタ)アクリレート、(メタ)アクリロニトリル、ジメチルマレエート、ジメチルフマレート、ジエチルフマレート、エチルフマレートなどが挙げられる。   In addition, the polystyrene resin is a copolymer of the styrene monomer having the styrene monomer as a main component and a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with the styrene monomer. Such vinyl monomers may include, for example, alkyl (meth) acrylates such as methyl (meth) acrylate, ethyl (meth) acrylate, butyl (meth) acrylate, cetyl (meth) acrylate, (meth ) Acrylonitrile, dimethyl maleate, dimethyl fumarate, diethyl fumarate, ethyl fumarate and the like.

そして、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1の一面にはポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2が積層一体化されている。このポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を構成するポリスチレン系樹脂としては、上述のポリスチレン系樹脂の他に、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂にゴム成分が加えられて耐衝撃性が改善された耐衝撃性ポリスチレン系樹脂や、ポリスチレン系樹脂に、スチレン−ブタジエン−スチレン共重合体などのポリスチレン系エラストマーを添加してなる混合樹脂であってもよい。なお、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2を構成するポリスチレン系樹脂のメルトフローレイトは、5〜15g/10分が好ましい。   A polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 is laminated and integrated on one surface of the polystyrene resin foamed sheet layer 1. As the polystyrene resin constituting the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer, in addition to the polystyrene resin described above, a rubber component is added to the polystyrene resin, and the impact resistant polystyrene resin improved in impact resistance. Alternatively, it may be a mixed resin obtained by adding a polystyrene elastomer such as a styrene-butadiene-styrene copolymer to a polystyrene resin. The melt flow rate of the polystyrene resin constituting the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 is preferably 5 to 15 g / 10 minutes.

更に、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2の厚みは、薄いと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの機械的強度が低下することがある一方、厚いと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの成形性が低下することがあるので、60〜200μmが好ましく、100〜160μmがより好ましい。   Furthermore, when the thickness of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 is thin, the mechanical strength of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet may be lowered. On the other hand, when the thickness is thick, the moldability of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is lowered. Therefore, 60 to 200 μm is preferable, and 100 to 160 μm is more preferable.

又、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1の構成については、特に限定されず、図1のように、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1が全体的に略同一の発泡倍率を有していてもよいが、図2に示したように、密度が0.16〜0.4g/cm3 の低発泡シート層11と、密度が0.07〜0.15g/cm3 の高発泡シート層12とが互いに直接、一体化されていることが好ましい。 Further, the configuration of the polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer 1 is not particularly limited. As shown in FIG. 1, the polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer 1 may have substantially the same expansion ratio as a whole. as shown in FIG. 2, the low-foamed sheet layer 11 having a density of 0.16~0.4g / cm 3, density and the high foamed sheet layer 12 of 0.07~0.15g / cm 3 to each other Direct integration is preferred.

これは下記の理由による。本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAは、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1の一面にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2が共押出法によって積層一体化されているが、共押出ダイから共押出する際、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2は、発泡剤を含有しておらず可塑化されていないなどの理由で、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1よりも高い加熱温度とし、樹脂粘度を低下させた上で共押出ダイから押出す必要がある。   This is due to the following reasons. In the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A of the present invention, the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 is laminated and integrated on one surface of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1 by a coextrusion method, but is coextruded from a coextrusion die. At that time, the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 has a higher heating temperature than the polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer 1 because it does not contain a foaming agent and is not plasticized, thereby reducing the resin viscosity. Above, it is necessary to extrude from a coextrusion die.

しかしながら、共押出する際の樹脂温度をポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層に合わせた温度とすると、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層を構成する樹脂粘度が低くなり過ぎて破泡するなどの問題が発生する一方、共押出する際の樹脂温度をポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層に合わせた温度とすると、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を構成する樹脂粘度が高くなり過ぎて、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の押出安定性が低下する。   However, if the resin temperature at the time of co-extrusion is set to a temperature that matches the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer, the viscosity of the resin constituting the polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer becomes too low, causing problems such as foam breakage. If the resin temperature at the time of co-extrusion is the temperature matched to the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer, the viscosity of the resin constituting the polystyrene resin non-foam sheet layer becomes too high, and the extrusion stability of the polystyrene resin non-foam sheet layer Sex is reduced.

そこで、共押出によって、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の一面にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を積層一体化させるにあたり、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1を、低発泡シート層11と高発泡シート層12とから構成し、低発泡シート層11を、発泡剤量が少ない分だけ高発泡シート層12よりも可塑化が小さいものとし、高発泡シート層12よりも高い温度にて共押出させるようにし、且つ、発泡剤が含有されている分だけ、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2よりも低い温度にて共押出することができるようにしている。   Therefore, when the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer is laminated and integrated on one surface of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer by coextrusion, the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1 is combined with the low foam sheet layer 11 and the high foam sheet layer 12. The low foam sheet layer 11 is less plasticized than the high foam sheet layer 12 by the amount of the foaming agent, and is coextruded at a higher temperature than the high foam sheet layer 12, and The amount of the foaming agent contained can be coextruded at a temperature lower than that of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2.

つまり、低発泡シート層11が有する共押出に適した温度を、高発泡シート層12が有する共押出に適した温度と、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2が有する共押出に適した温度との間にあるようにしている。   That is, the temperature suitable for coextrusion that the low foam sheet layer 11 has is the temperature suitable for coextrusion that the high foam sheet layer 12 has and the temperature suitable for coextrusion that the polystyrene resin non-foam sheet layer 2 has. It is in between.

このように構成することによって、高発泡シート層12とポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2との間における共押出に適した温度差を、低発泡シート層11によって緩和し、各層のそれぞれが共押出に適した温度にて共押出されたものであって、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAにおける低発泡シート層11及び高発泡シート層12は連続気泡率が低くて機械的強度に優れ、特に低発泡シート層11はその表面平滑性に優れている。   By comprising in this way, the temperature difference suitable for the coextrusion between the high foam sheet layer 12 and the polystyrene resin non-foam sheet layer 2 is relieved by the low foam sheet layer 11, and each layer is co-extruded. The low-foamed sheet layer 11 and the high-foamed sheet layer 12 in the polystyrene resin laminated foamed sheet A have a low open cell ratio and excellent mechanical strength, and are particularly low foamed. The sheet layer 11 has excellent surface smoothness.

そして、上記表面平滑性に優れた低発泡シート層11上に積層一体化されているポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2も表面平滑性に優れていると共に、上述のように低発泡シート層11は機械的強度が強いため、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2上に安定的に印刷処理を施すことができる。   The polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 laminated and integrated on the low-foamed sheet layer 11 having excellent surface smoothness is also excellent in surface smoothness. Since the mechanical strength is strong, a printing process can be stably performed on the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2.

ここで、低発泡シート層11の密度は、低いと、低発泡シート層の連続気泡率が高くなり機械的強度が低下する結果、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層上への印刷特性が低下する虞れがある一方、高いと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの目付を同じにしようとした場合に、低発泡シート層の厚みが薄くなり、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面平滑性が低下したり、或いは、共押出時における低発泡シート層と高発泡シート層との間の温度差が大きくなり、低発泡シート層と高発泡シート層の界面付近における高発泡シート層側の気泡が連続気泡化してしまい、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの機械的強度が低下するので、0.16〜0.4g/cm3 が好ましい。 Here, if the density of the low foamed sheet layer 11 is low, the open cell ratio of the low foamed sheet layer is increased and the mechanical strength is lowered. As a result, the printing characteristics on the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer may be lowered. On the other hand, if it is high, the thickness of the low foam sheet layer becomes thin and the surface smoothness of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer decreases when trying to make the basis weight of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet the same. Alternatively, the temperature difference between the low foam sheet layer and the high foam sheet layer during coextrusion becomes large, and the bubbles on the high foam sheet layer side in the vicinity of the interface between the low foam sheet layer and the high foam sheet layer become continuous cells. Therefore, the mechanical strength of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is lowered, so 0.16 to 0.4 g / cm 3 is preferable.

又、高発泡シート層12の密度は、小さいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの機械的強度が低下する虞れがある一方、大きいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの目付を同じにしようとした場合に、高発泡シート層の厚みが薄くなり、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの機械的強度が低下する虞れがあるので、0.07〜0.15g/cm3 が好ましい。 Further, if the density of the high foam sheet layer 12 is small, the mechanical strength of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet may be lowered. On the other hand, if the density is large, the basis weight of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is tried to be the same. In such a case, the thickness of the highly foamed sheet layer is reduced, and the mechanical strength of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foamed sheet may be reduced. Therefore, 0.07 to 0.15 g / cm 3 is preferable.

なお、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにおける低発泡シート層及び高発泡シート層の密度は下記の要領で算出することができる。先ず、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAの目付W(g/cm2 )を測定し、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2の押出量E0 (kg/時間)、低発泡シート層11の押出量E1 (kg/時間)及び高発泡シート層12の押出量E2 (kg/時間)から下記式に基づいて、低発泡シート層11の目付W1 及び高発泡シート層12の目付W2 を算出する。
低発泡シート層の目付W1 (g/cm2 )=W×E1 /(E0 +E1 +E2
高発泡シート層の目付W2 (g/cm2 )=W×E2 /(E0 +E1 +E2
In addition, the density of the low foam sheet layer and the high foam sheet layer in the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet can be calculated in the following manner. First, the basis weight W (g / cm 2 ) of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A is measured, and the extrusion amount E 0 (kg / hour) of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 and the extrusion amount E of the low-foamed sheet layer 11 are measured. Based on the following formula, the basis weight W 1 of the low foam sheet layer 11 and the basis weight W 2 of the high foam sheet layer 12 are calculated from 1 (kg / hour) and the extrusion amount E 2 (kg / hour) of the high foam sheet layer 12. To do.
Weight per unit area of low foam sheet layer W 1 (g / cm 2 ) = W × E 1 / (E 0 + E 1 + E 2 )
Highly foamed sheet layer weight W 2 (g / cm 2 ) = W × E 2 / (E 0 + E 1 + E 2 )

次に、低発泡シート層11の厚みT1 (cm)及び高発泡シート層の厚みT2 (cm)を測定し、下記式に基づいて低発泡シート層の密度D1 及び高発泡シート層の密度D2 を算出することができる。
低発泡シート層の密度D1 (g/cm3 )=W1 /T1
高発泡シート層の密度D2 (g/cm3 )=W2 /T2
Next, the low foaming thickness T 1 of the sheet layer 11 (cm) and high foam sheet layer thickness T 2 was measured (cm), the density D 1 and highly foamed sheet layer having a low foam sheet layer based on the following formula it is possible to calculate the density D 2.
Density D 1 (g / cm 3 ) = W 1 / T 1 of low foam sheet layer
Density D 2 (g / cm 3 ) = W 2 / T 2 of highly foamed sheet layer

更に、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1全体の厚みは、薄いと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形して得られる成形品の機械的強度が低下することがある一方、厚いと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの成形性が低下することがあるので、1.0〜3mmが好ましく、1.5〜3mmがより好ましく、1.8〜2.8mmが特に好ましい。   Further, if the thickness of the entire polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1 is thin, the mechanical strength of a molded product obtained by molding the polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet may be reduced. Since the moldability of a foam sheet may fall, 1.0-3 mm is preferable, 1.5-3 mm is more preferable, 1.8-2.8 mm is especially preferable.

又、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1の低発泡シート層11の厚みは、薄いと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面平滑性が低下することがあるので、0.1mm以上が好ましく、0.2mm以上がより好ましい。   Further, if the thickness of the low foam sheet layer 11 of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1 is small, the surface smoothness of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer of the polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet may be lowered. 1 mm or more is preferable and 0.2 mm or more is more preferable.

更に、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAにおける低発泡シート層11の厚みと高発泡シート層12の厚みの比(低発泡シート層11の厚み/高発泡シート層12の厚み)は、小さいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面平滑性が低下し、或いは、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの機械的強度が低下することがある一方、大きいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの断熱性及び成形性が低下することがあるので、0.08〜0.2が好ましい。   Furthermore, when the ratio of the thickness of the low foam sheet layer 11 to the thickness of the high foam sheet layer 12 in the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A (thickness of the low foam sheet layer 11 / thickness of the high foam sheet layer 12) is small, polystyrene. The surface smoothness of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet may decrease, or the mechanical strength of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet may decrease. Therefore, 0.08 to 0.2 is preferable.

又、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の低発泡シート層における厚み方向の平均気泡径は、大きいと、低発泡シート層上に一体化されたポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面平滑性が低下する虞れがあるので、200μm未満が好ましく、150μm未満がより好ましく、120μm未満が特に好ましい。   Moreover, if the average cell diameter in the thickness direction of the low foam sheet layer of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer is large, the surface smoothness of the polystyrene resin non-foam sheet layer integrated on the low foam sheet layer may be reduced. Therefore, it is preferably less than 200 μm, more preferably less than 150 μm, and particularly preferably less than 120 μm.

なお、低発泡シート層における厚み方向の平均気泡径は、ASTM D2842−69の試験方法に準拠して測定された平均弦長に基づいて算出されたものをいう。具体的には、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートをその表面に対して垂直な方向(厚み方向)に切断し、この切断面における低発泡シート層11の中央部を走査型電子顕微鏡を用いて17〜20倍(場合によっては200倍)に拡大して撮影する。   The average cell diameter in the thickness direction of the low foam sheet layer is calculated based on the average chord length measured according to the test method of ASTM D2842-69. Specifically, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is cut in a direction perpendicular to the surface (thickness direction), and the central portion of the low foam sheet layer 11 on the cut surface is 17 to 17 using a scanning electron microscope. Shoot at 20x (200x in some cases).

次に、撮影した写真における写真上の長さが60mmで且つポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの厚み方向に指向する一直線上にある気泡数から、各気泡の平均弦長(t)を下記式1に基づいて算出する。そして、下記式2により平均気泡径Dを算出することができる。なお、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの低発泡シート層が薄いために、長さが60mmの直線を写真上に描くことができない場合は、できるだけ長い長さの直線を写真上に描き、この直線の長さを60mmに換算して平均気泡径Dを算出する。
平均弦長(t)=60/(気泡数×写真の倍率)・・・式1
平均気泡径D=t/0.616・・・式2
Next, the average chord length (t) of each bubble is expressed by the following formula 1 from the number of bubbles on a straight line oriented in the thickness direction of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet having a length of 60 mm in the photograph taken. Calculate based on And the average bubble diameter D is computable by following formula 2. If the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet has a thin low foam sheet layer and a straight line with a length of 60 mm cannot be drawn on the photograph, draw a straight line with as long a length as possible on the photograph. The average bubble diameter D is calculated by converting the length to 60 mm.
Average chord length (t) = 60 / (number of bubbles × photo magnification) Formula 1
Average bubble diameter D = t / 0.616 Equation 2

そして、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1全体の連続気泡率は、大きいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの機械的強度が低下することがあるので、20%未満が好ましい。   And since the mechanical strength of a polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet may fall when the open cell ratio of the whole polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1 is large, less than 20% is preferable.

なお、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層全体の連続気泡率は、ASTM D−2856−87に準拠して1−1/2−1気圧法にて測定されたものをいう。具体的には、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートのポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層を一辺25mmの平面正方形状に切断し、この切断片を厚み方向に複数枚重ね合わせて厚みが約25mmの試験片を作製する。この要領で5個の試験片を作製し、各試験片の連続気泡率を空気比較式比重計(東京サイエンス社製 商品名「1000型」)を用いて、1−1/2−1気圧法により測定し、その相加平均値をポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の連続気泡率とする。   In addition, the open cell ratio of the whole polystyrene-type resin foam sheet layer says what was measured by the 1-1 / 2-1 atmospheric pressure method based on ASTM D-2856-87. Specifically, a polystyrene resin foam sheet layer of a polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is cut into a plane square shape with a side of 25 mm, and a plurality of these cut pieces are stacked in the thickness direction to produce a test piece having a thickness of about 25 mm. To do. Five test pieces were prepared in this manner, and the open cell ratio of each test piece was determined by using the air comparison type hydrometer (trade name “1000 type” manufactured by Tokyo Science Co., Ltd.). The arithmetic average value is defined as the open cell ratio of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer.

更に、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、125℃にて150秒間に亘って加熱した場合、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面がその幅方向に−45〜−15%の寸法変化率で収縮し、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を内側にして幅方向に円弧状に変形するように構成されている。   Furthermore, when the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet of the present invention is heated at 125 ° C. for 150 seconds, the surface of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer has a dimensional change rate of −45 to −15% in the width direction. And is deformed into an arc shape in the width direction with the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer inside.

即ち、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートでは、所定条件下における加熱によってポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を収縮させるように構成している一方、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の柔軟性を保持して優れた成形性を発揮するように構成している。   That is, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet of the present invention is configured to shrink the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer by heating under a predetermined condition, while maintaining the flexibility of the polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer. It is configured to exhibit excellent moldability.

従って、後述するように、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにおける幅方向の両端部を一定間隔を保持した左右一対の保持具によって保持して、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの両端の間隔を固定した上で、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを加熱しプレス成形した場合、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、その両端部の位置が固定されていることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の幅方向の収縮力を、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シート全体の幅方向への収縮力とし、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シート全体を確実に幅方向に収縮させてドローダウン現象を効果的に防止することができる一方、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの幅方向における収縮は、上述のように、主にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の収縮により生じるようにし、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の柔軟性を確保しているので、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートをプレス成形することによって所望形状を有する成形品を正確に成形することができる。   Therefore, as will be described later, the both ends in the width direction of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet are held by a pair of left and right holders holding a constant interval, and the distance between both ends of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is fixed. When the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is heated and press-molded, the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet has a fixed shrinkage force in the width direction of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer because the positions of both ends thereof are fixed. The polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet has a shrinkage force in the width direction, and the polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet can be reliably shrunk in the width direction to effectively prevent the drawdown phenomenon, while the polystyrene resin As described above, the shrinkage in the width direction of the laminated foam sheet is mainly caused by the shrinkage of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer. As caused by, since the secure flexibility of polystyrene resin foamed sheet layer, it is possible to accurately mold the molded article having a desired shape by press-molding a polystyrene resin foam laminates.

ここで、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2の表面における幅方向の寸法変化率は、収縮が小さいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形する際のドローダウン現象を防止することができない一方、収縮が大きいと、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形する際に幅方向に収縮し過ぎて、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの両端部を保持している左右一対の保持具からポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの両端部が外れる虞れや、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの幅方向に加わる張力が大きくなり過ぎて、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを深絞り成形することができない虞れがあるので、−45〜−15%に限定される。なお、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの幅方向とは、押出方向に対して直交する方向をいう。   Here, if the dimensional change rate in the width direction of the surface of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A is small in shrinkage, a drawdown phenomenon at the time of molding the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is caused. On the other hand, if the shrinkage is large, a pair of left and right holders that hold both ends of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet are contracted too much in the width direction when the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is molded. There is a possibility that both ends of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet may come off from each other, or the tension applied in the width direction of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet becomes too large, and the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet cannot be deep drawn. Therefore, it is limited to −45 to −15%. In addition, the width direction of a polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet means the direction orthogonal to an extrusion direction.

又、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2における押出方向(長さ方向)の寸法変化率は、その絶対値が大き過ぎると、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形する際にポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが加熱によって変形してしまい、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの成形が不安定となることがあるので、−10〜10%が好ましい。   Moreover, when the dimensional change rate in the extrusion direction (length direction) in the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A is too large, when the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is formed, Since the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet may be deformed by heating and the molding of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet may become unstable, -10 to 10% is preferable.

ここで、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面の寸法変化率は下記の要領で測定されたものをいう。先ず、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートから一辺が10cmの平面正方形状の試験片を5個、各辺がポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの押出方向又は幅方向に平行な状態となるように切り出す。   Here, the dimensional change rate of the surface of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foamed sheet refers to that measured in the following manner. First, five flat square test pieces each having a side of 10 cm are cut out from a polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet so that each side is parallel to the extrusion direction or the width direction of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet.

しかる後、各試験片のポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層上に、互いに対向する辺の中央部同士を結ぶ直線を二本、十字状に描く。次に、各試験片を125℃の雰囲気下に150秒間に亘って放置した後、試験片を20℃にて1時間に亘って放置する。   Thereafter, two straight lines connecting the central portions of the sides facing each other are drawn in a cross shape on the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer of each test piece. Next, after leaving each test piece in an atmosphere of 125 ° C. for 150 seconds, the test piece is left at 20 ° C. for 1 hour.

次に、試験片上に描いた直線のうち、寸法変化率を測定したい方向に指向した直線の長さLを試験片毎に測定し、下記式に基づいて試験片毎に寸法変化率を算出し、各試験片の寸法変化率の相加平均値を、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面の寸法変化率とする。なお、試験片上の直線の長さLは、例えば、直線に沿って湾曲可能な布製の測定具などを用いて測定すればよい。又、寸法変化率が正の値をとる場合は膨張し、負の値をとる場合は収縮していることを表している。
寸法変化率(%)=100×(L−10)/10
Next, of the straight lines drawn on the test piece, the length L of the straight line oriented in the direction in which the dimensional change rate is desired to be measured is measured for each test piece, and the dimensional change rate is calculated for each test piece based on the following formula. The arithmetic average value of the dimensional change rate of each test piece is defined as the dimensional change rate of the surface of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet. In addition, what is necessary is just to measure the length L of the straight line on a test piece, for example using the measurement tool made from cloth etc. which can bend along a straight line. In addition, when the dimensional change rate has a positive value, it indicates that it has expanded, and when it has a negative value, it has contracted.
Dimensional change rate (%) = 100 × (L−10) / 10

更に、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2上には、表面に印刷が施されたポリスチレン系樹脂シートを印刷層として積層一体化してもよい。なお、この印刷層をポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2上に積層一体化する方法としては汎用の方法が用いられる。又、印刷層を構成するポリスチレン系樹脂としては、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を構成するポリスチレン系樹脂と同様であるので、その説明を省略する。   Furthermore, on the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet, a polystyrene resin sheet having a surface printed thereon may be laminated and integrated as a print layer. In addition, a general-purpose method is used as a method of laminating and integrating this print layer on the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer 2. Moreover, since it is the same as that of the polystyrene resin which comprises a polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer as a polystyrene resin which comprises a printing layer, the description is abbreviate | omitted.

次に、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの製造方法について説明する。なお、以下においては、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層が低発泡シート層と高発泡シート層とからなる場合について説明する。   Next, the manufacturing method of the said polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet is demonstrated. In the following, the case where the polystyrene-based resin foam sheet layer is composed of a low foam sheet layer and a high foam sheet layer will be described.

先ず、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを製造するためには、図3、図4に示したように、合流ダイ61及びこの合流ダイ61に接続する環状ダイ62からなる共押出ダイ6と、第一〜第三押出機3〜5とを用意し、上記三機の押出機3〜5の全てを同一の上記共押出ダイ6の合流ダイ61に接続する。   First, in order to manufacture a polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a coextrusion die 6 including a joining die 61 and an annular die 62 connected to the joining die 61, ~ Third extruders 3 to 5 are prepared, and all of the three extruders 3 to 5 are connected to the merge die 61 of the same coextrusion die 6.

そして、第一押出機3及び第三押出機5にポリスチレン系樹脂及び発泡剤を供給して溶融混練する一方、第二押出機4にポリスチレン系樹脂を供給して発泡剤の不存在下或いは発泡しない程度の発泡剤の存在下にて溶融混練する。なお、ポリスチレン系樹脂に対する発泡剤の量は、第一押出機3の方が第三押出機5よりも大きくなるように調整する必要がある。   Then, the polystyrene resin and the foaming agent are supplied to the first extruder 3 and the third extruder 5 and melt kneaded, while the polystyrene resin is supplied to the second extruder 4 and the foaming agent is not present or foamed. Melt-knead in the presence of a blowing agent that does not. Note that the amount of the foaming agent relative to the polystyrene resin needs to be adjusted so that the first extruder 3 is larger than the third extruder 5.

ここで、第二押出機4にポリスチレン系樹脂と共に、発泡しない程度の量の発泡剤を供給してよいが、これは、ポリスチレン系樹脂の発泡を目的としているものではなく、ポリスチレン系樹脂を発泡剤によって可塑化し、押出時の樹脂温度の低下を図り、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1の押出発泡温度に出来るだけ近づけて、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層1、即ち、低発泡シート層11の連続気泡率の上昇を防止するためである。   Here, an amount of foaming agent that does not foam may be supplied to the second extruder 4 together with the polystyrene resin. However, this is not intended to foam the polystyrene resin, and the polystyrene resin is foamed. Plasticizing with an agent to lower the resin temperature during extrusion, and as close as possible to the extrusion foaming temperature of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1, open cells of the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer 1, that is, the low foam sheet layer 11 This is to prevent the rate from rising.

なお、上記発泡剤としては、汎用のものが用いられ、例えば、プロパン、ブタン、ペンタンなどの脂肪族炭化水素;1,1−ジクロロ−1−フルオロエタン(HCFC−141b)、1−クロロ−1,1−ジフルオロエタン(HCFC−142b)、2−クロロ−1,1,1,2−テトラフルオロエタン(HCFC−124)、1,1,1,2−テトラフルオロエタン(HFC−134a)、1,1−ジフルオロエタン(HFC−152a)などのフロン系発泡剤が挙げられ、脂肪族炭化水素が好ましい。   In addition, as said foaming agent, a general purpose thing is used, for example, aliphatic hydrocarbons, such as propane, butane, and pentane; 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b), 1-chloro-1 , 1-difluoroethane (HCFC-142b), 2-chloro-1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HCFC-124), 1,1,1,2-tetrafluoroethane (HFC-134a), 1, Fluorocarbon blowing agents such as 1-difluoroethane (HFC-152a) can be mentioned, and aliphatic hydrocarbons are preferable.

次に、第一押出機3から高発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂を、第二押出機4から非発泡ポリスチレン系樹脂を、第三押出機5から低発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂を共押出ダイ6の合流ダイ61内に押出して、これらポリスチレン系樹脂を合流ダイ61内にて合流させ、断面円形状の高発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂層の外周面に低発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂層及びポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層がこの順序で層状に積層された断面円形状の発泡性積層体とする。   Next, a high-expandable polystyrene resin from the first extruder 3, a non-expanded polystyrene-based resin from the second extruder 4, and a low-expandable polystyrene-based resin from the third extruder 5 are combined in the coextrusion die 6. The polystyrene resin is extruded into 61, and these polystyrene resins are merged in the merging die 61, and a low foam polystyrene resin layer and a polystyrene resin non-foamed layer are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the high foam polystyrene resin layer having a circular cross section. A foamable laminate having a circular cross section laminated in layers in this order.

そして、この発泡性積層体を共押出ダイ6の環状ダイ62に供給して、発泡性積層体を円筒状とし、この円筒状の発泡性積層体を環状ダイ62の先端開口部から押出発泡させ、高発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂を押出発泡させて得られた発泡層を高発泡層とし、低発泡性ポリスチレン系樹脂を押出発泡させて得られた発泡層を低発泡層として、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層、低発泡層及び高発泡層が外側から内側に向かって層状に積層された円筒状発泡体を製造する。 Then, this foamable laminate is supplied to the annular die 62 of the coextrusion die 6 so that the foamable laminate is cylindrical, and this cylindrical foamable laminate is extruded and foamed from the front end opening of the annular die 62. A foam layer obtained by extrusion foaming a highly foamable polystyrene resin is used as a high foam layer, and a foam layer obtained by extrusion foaming a low foam polystyrene resin is used as a low foam layer. A cylindrical foam is produced in which a layer, a low foam layer and a high foam layer are laminated in layers from the outside to the inside.

この際、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層は、発泡剤が含有されておらず発泡剤による可塑化がない一方、低発泡層及び高発泡層は、発泡剤の含有によって可塑化されており、しかも、高発泡層の方が低発泡層よりも可塑化度合いが大きい。   At this time, the polystyrene resin non-foamed layer does not contain a foaming agent and is not plasticized by the foaming agent, while the low foamed layer and the high foamed layer are plasticized by containing the foaming agent, The high foam layer has a higher degree of plasticization than the low foam layer.

従って、低発泡層及び高発泡層は、共押出時の樹脂温度をポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層と同温度とすると、発泡剤によって可塑化されている分だけ溶融粘度が低くなり過ぎて破泡を生じる虞れがあるので、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層よりも低い温度に設定する必要がある。   Therefore, when the resin temperature at the time of coextrusion is the same as that of the polystyrene resin non-foamed layer, the low foamed layer and the high foamed layer have a melt viscosity that is too low by the amount plasticized by the foaming agent. Since it may occur, it is necessary to set the temperature lower than that of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed layer.

そこで、低発泡層及び高発泡層を共押出ダイから押出す際の樹脂温度をポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層の樹脂温度よりも低い温度に設定すると共に、低発泡層を共押出ダイから押出す際の樹脂温度を高発泡層の場合に比して高い温度に設定し、低発泡層の樹脂温度をポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層の樹脂温度に近づけ、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層と高発泡層との間における共押出ダイから押出す際の樹脂温度の差を、低発泡層の存在によって緩和すると共に、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層と高発泡層との間における共押出ダイから押出す際の溶融粘度の差も低発泡層の存在によって緩和している。   Therefore, when the low foamed layer and the high foamed layer are extruded from the coextrusion die, the resin temperature is set lower than the resin temperature of the polystyrene resin non-foamed layer, and the low foamed layer is extruded from the coextrusion die. The resin temperature of the low foam layer is set higher than that of the high foam layer, and the resin temperature of the low foam layer is brought close to the resin temperature of the polystyrene resin non-foamed layer. The difference in the resin temperature during extrusion from the coextrusion die is moderated by the presence of the low foam layer, and the melt viscosity when extruding from the coextrusion die between the polystyrene resin non-foam layer and the high foam layer This difference is also mitigated by the presence of the low foam layer.

よって、発泡性積層体を共押出ダイから押出発泡させる際の条件に幅を持たせることができ、発泡性積層体を共押出ダイから安定的に押出発泡させて円筒状発泡体を得ることができると共に、この円筒状発泡体は、高発泡層上にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層が低発泡層を介して美麗な状態に積層一体化されており、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層はその表面平滑性に優れている。   Therefore, it is possible to give a wide range of conditions when the foamable laminate is extruded and foamed from the coextrusion die, and to obtain a cylindrical foam by stably extruding and foaming the foamable laminate from the coextrusion die. In addition, this cylindrical foam has a beautifully laminated polystyrene resin non-foamed layer on a high foam layer via a low foam layer. The polystyrene resin non-foamed layer has a smooth surface. Is excellent.

そして、高発泡層及び低発泡層は共にそれぞれの発泡に適した樹脂温度にて押出発泡されるので、高発泡層及び低発泡層には共押出発泡時に不必要な歪みは殆ど発生しておらず、この高発泡層及び低発泡層を展開して得られるポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層は、その歪みが少なくて柔軟性に富んでおり、優れた成形性を有している。   Since both the high foam layer and the low foam layer are extruded and foamed at a resin temperature suitable for each foaming, unnecessary strain is hardly generated in the high foam layer and the low foam layer during coextrusion foaming. The polystyrene-based resin foam sheet layer obtained by developing the high foam layer and the low foam layer has little distortion, is rich in flexibility, and has excellent moldability.

次に、上記円筒状発泡体を徐々に拡径させた上で冷却マンドレル7に供給して円筒状発泡体を冷却した後、上記円筒状発泡体をその押出方向に内外周面間に亘って連続的に切断して切り開き、円筒状発泡体をそのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層にその幅方向に歪みを残存させたまま展開してシート状として、高発泡層上に低発泡層が直接、一体化してなるポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層上にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層が直接、積層一体化してなる長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを製造し、この長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは巻取り軸に連続的に巻き取られる。なお、円筒状発泡体を拡径させる途上において、円筒状発泡体の内外周面に冷却風を吹き付けることが好ましい。   Next, after gradually expanding the diameter of the cylindrical foam and supplying the cooling mandrel 7 to cool the cylindrical foam, the cylindrical foam is stretched between the inner and outer peripheral surfaces in the extrusion direction. Continuously cut and open, expand the cylindrical foam into the polystyrene resin non-foamed layer with strain remaining in the width direction, and form a sheet, and the low foamed layer is directly integrated on the high foamed layer A long polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet in which a polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer is directly laminated and integrated on the polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer is manufactured, and this long polystyrene-based resin laminated foam is produced. The sheet is continuously wound on the winding shaft. In the course of expanding the diameter of the cylindrical foam, it is preferable to blow cooling air on the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the cylindrical foam.

ここで、円筒状発泡体をそのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡層にその幅方向の歪みを残存させたまま展開するには、共押出ダイ6の環状ダイ62における開口部の口径とマンドレル7の直径との比、共押出ダイ6の環状ダイ62の形状、円筒状発泡体の冷却度合いを調整すればよい。   Here, in order to develop the cylindrical foam while leaving the distortion in the width direction in the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed layer, the aperture diameter of the annular die 62 of the coextrusion die 6 and the diameter of the mandrel 7 are These ratios, the shape of the annular die 62 of the coextrusion die 6 and the cooling degree of the cylindrical foam may be adjusted.

上述のように、上記円筒状発泡体は、共押出ダイから押出発泡された後に展開されてポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートとされた上で巻取り軸に巻き取られるが、このポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの巻取り軸への巻取り速度と、共押出ダイからの押出速度とを調整することによって、円筒状発泡体及びこれを展開して得られるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにその押出方向(長さ方向)に加えられる張力を調整することができる。   As described above, the cylindrical foam is expanded after being extruded and foamed from a co-extrusion die, and is expanded into a polystyrene-based resin laminated foamed sheet, and is wound around a take-up shaft. By adjusting the take-up speed of the sheet to the take-up shaft and the extrusion speed from the coextrusion die, the extrusion direction (long) of the cylindrical foam and the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet obtained by developing the cylindrical foam is developed. It is possible to adjust the tension applied in the vertical direction.

そして、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAは、上述のように、所定条件下にて加熱すると、そのポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2の表面が所定寸法変化率でもって収縮し、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2を内側にして幅方向に円弧状に変形するように調整する必要があることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの巻取り軸への巻取り速度と、共押出ダイからの押出速度とを調整して、得られるポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにその押出方向(長さ方向)の歪みができるだけ少なくなるように調整することが好ましい。   And as above-mentioned, when the polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet A of this invention is heated on predetermined conditions, the surface of the polystyrene-type resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 will shrink | contract with a predetermined dimensional change rate, and a polystyrene type Since the resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 needs to be adjusted so as to be deformed in an arc shape in the width direction with the resin non-foamed sheet layer 2 inside, the winding speed of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet to the winding shaft, It is preferable to adjust the extrusion speed so that distortion in the extrusion direction (length direction) of the resulting polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is minimized.

なお、上記では、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層が低発泡シート層と高発泡シート層とからなる場合を説明したが、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層を全体的に同一の発泡倍率とする場合には、第三押出機5を共押出ダイ6に接続しないでポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを製造すればよい。   In the above description, the case where the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer is composed of the low foam sheet layer and the high foam sheet layer has been described, but when the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer has the same expansion ratio as a whole, What is necessary is just to manufacture a polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet, without connecting the 3rd extruder 5 to the coextrusion die | dye 6. FIG.

次に、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを用いて成形品を製造する要領について説明する。先ず、成形機Bについて説明すると、図5に示したように、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの成形に用いられる成形機Bは、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを加熱する加熱炉B1と、この加熱炉B1にて加熱されたポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを所定形状に成形するための成形ダイB2とを有している。なお、加熱炉B1及び成形ダイB2は、一つのカバーによって全体的に被覆され、加熱されたポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートが不測に冷却されないようにされているが、図5では、上記カバーは、説明の都合上、省略した。   Next, the point which manufactures a molded article using the said polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet is demonstrated. First, the molding machine B will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the molding machine B used for molding the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet includes a heating furnace B1 for heating the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet, and the heating furnace. And a molding die B2 for molding the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet heated in B1 into a predetermined shape. The heating furnace B1 and the molding die B2 are entirely covered with a single cover so that the heated polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is not unexpectedly cooled. In FIG. Omitted for convenience of explanation.

そして、上記成形機Bには、この成形機Bに供給されてきたポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの幅方向の両端部を順次、保持してポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAを前方に向かって搬送するための左右一対の保持具B3、B3が配設されている。具体的には、保持具B3は、図5,6に示したように、前後方向に一定間隔を存して配設されたスプロケットB31、B31間に掛け渡された無端状のチェーンB32 の外周面に多数の針部材B33 、B33 ・・・が外方に向かって突設されている。そして、これら左右一対の保持具B3、B3を、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAの巻き出し方向(長さ方向)に直交する方向にポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAの幅寸法に略合致した一定距離だけ離間し且つ加熱炉B1及び成形ダイB2に跨がった状態で配設されている。   And to the said molding machine B, the both ends of the width direction of the polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet supplied to this molding machine B are hold | maintained one by one, and the polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet A is conveyed toward the front. For this purpose, a pair of left and right holders B3 and B3 are provided. Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the holder B3 has an outer periphery of an endless chain B32 spanned between sprockets B31 and B31 disposed at a predetermined interval in the front-rear direction. A large number of needle members B33, B33... Project outward from the surface. The pair of left and right holders B3 and B3 are placed at a constant distance substantially matching the width dimension of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A in a direction orthogonal to the unwinding direction (length direction) of the polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet A. And are disposed so as to extend over the heating furnace B1 and the forming die B2.

このように構成された成形機Bに、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAを巻取り軸から巻き出して連続的に供給すると、左右一対の保持具B3、B3の針部材B33 、B33 ・・・がポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにおける幅方向の両端部に順次、突き刺さり、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートの両端部が左右一対の保持具B3、B3によって保持され、この左右一対の保持具B3、B3によって、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAは、前方の加熱炉B1に連続的に搬送される。   When the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A is unwound from the winding shaft and continuously supplied to the molding machine B configured as described above, the needle members B33, B33,... The both ends of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet are sequentially pierced at both ends in the width direction of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet, and the both ends of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet are held by a pair of left and right holders B3, B3, and by this pair of left and right holders B3, B3, The polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A is continuously conveyed to the front heating furnace B1.

そして、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、加熱ゾーンB1にて所定温度に加熱されて軟化すると、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層2に残存する歪みの緩和によって幅方向に収縮する一方、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAの両端部は左右一対の保持具によって保持されて両端部間の距離が縮まらないように規制されているので、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、その幅方向に円滑に且つ確実に収縮し、ドローダウン現象が効果的に防止される。   When the polystyrene-based resin-laminated foam sheet is heated to a predetermined temperature in the heating zone B1 and softened, the polystyrene-based resin-laminated foam sheet contracts in the width direction due to the relaxation of the strain remaining in the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer 2, while the polystyrene resin laminate Since both ends of the foam sheet A are held by a pair of left and right holders and the distance between the both ends is regulated so as not to shrink, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet contracts smoothly and reliably in its width direction. In addition, the drawdown phenomenon is effectively prevented.

このようにポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAのドローダウン現象を防止しているので、加熱炉B1において、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAをその両面から均一に加熱して加熱ムラが発生するのを防止することができる。   As described above, since the draw-down phenomenon of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A is prevented, the heating unevenness is prevented by heating the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A uniformly from both sides in the heating furnace B1. can do.

しかも、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAは、その押出方向の歪みができるだけ残存しないように構成されていることから、加熱炉B1における加熱によって押出方向(長さ方向)に波打ちするなどの変形を殆ど生じることはない。   In addition, since the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A is configured so that distortion in the extrusion direction does not remain as much as possible, almost no deformation such as undulation in the extrusion direction (length direction) by heating in the heating furnace B1. It does not occur.

そして、成形機Bの加熱炉B1にて所定温度に加熱されたポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAは、左右一対の保持具B3、B3によって加熱炉B1の前方に配設された成形ダイB2に供給される。   Then, the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A heated to a predetermined temperature in the heating furnace B1 of the molding machine B is supplied to a forming die B2 disposed in front of the heating furnace B1 by a pair of left and right holders B3 and B3. Is done.

次に、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAの幅方向の両端部が左右一対の保持具B3、B3に保持された状態のまま、成形ダイB2によって、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAに所望形状を有する多数の成形品Cが安定的に成形される。   Next, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A has a desired shape by the molding die B2 while the both ends in the width direction of the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet A are held by the pair of left and right holders B3 and B3. A large number of molded articles C are stably molded.

次に、多数の成形品が成形されたポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、左右一対の保持具B3、B3によって更に前方に搬送されるが、左右一対の保持具B3、B3における前方のスプロケットB31 、B31 を超えた位置まで来ると、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAの両端部に突き刺さった保持具B3、B3の針部材B33 、B33 ・・・がポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAから抜き取られる。   Next, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet formed with a large number of molded products is further conveyed forward by the pair of left and right holders B3 and B3, but the front sprocket B31 in the pair of left and right holders B3 and B3, When reaching a position exceeding B31, the needle members B33, B33... Of the holders B3, B3 pierced at both ends of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A are extracted from the polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet A.

しかる後、多数の成形品が成形されたポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、所定長さ毎に切断された上で、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートから成形品を打ち抜くことによって多数の成形品を同時に得ることができる。   After that, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet in which a large number of molded products are molded is cut at predetermined lengths, and a plurality of molded products are obtained simultaneously by punching the molded product from the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet. be able to.

本発明の長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、押出発泡によって得られたポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の一面にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を共押出法により積層一体化してなる長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートであることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層の形成時にこのポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層上にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を同時に積層一体化させており、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートを別途、製造しておく必要がなく、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シートの熟成条件の変動や、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート上にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シートを押出ラミネートする際の条件の変動に起因した、発泡シート中の発泡剤量や気泡径などの品質のばらつきが発生する余地はなく、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、均質なものとなっている。   The long polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet of the present invention is a long shape obtained by laminating and integrating a polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer by coextrusion on one surface of a polystyrene-based resin foamed sheet layer obtained by extrusion foaming. Because of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet, a polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer is simultaneously laminated and integrated on the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer when the polystyrene resin foam sheet layer is formed. There is no need to manufacture the sheet separately, due to fluctuations in the maturation conditions of the polystyrene resin foam sheet, and fluctuations in the conditions when extruding a polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet on the polystyrene resin foam sheet, There is no room for variations in quality such as the amount of foaming agent in the foam sheet and the bubble diameter. Ming polystyrene resin laminate foam sheet has become a homogeneous.

更に、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、125℃にて150秒間に亘って加熱すると、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の表面がその幅方向に−45〜−15%の寸法変化率で収縮し、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層を内側にして円弧状に変形するように構成されている。   Furthermore, when the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet of the present invention is heated at 125 ° C. for 150 seconds, the surface of the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer has a dimensional change rate of −45 to −15% in the width direction. It is configured to shrink and deform into an arc shape with the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer inside.

従って、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを用いて成形品を連続的に成形するために、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにおける幅方向の両端部を左右一対の保持具で保持し、この状態を保持したまま、成形機にて加熱、成形した場合、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、その両端部が左右一対の保持具で保持されて両端間の距離が一定間隔に保持されていることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを成形機で加熱すると、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の収縮によりポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シート全体が幅方向に円滑に収縮し、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにドローダウン現象が発生するのを確実に防止してポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートを均一に加熱した上で正確に成形することができる。   Therefore, in order to continuously form a molded product using the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet of the present invention, both ends in the width direction of the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet are held by a pair of left and right holders, and this state is maintained. When heated and molded with a molding machine while holding, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet is held by a pair of left and right holders and the distance between both ends is held at a constant interval. When a polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet is heated by a molding machine, the entire polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet shrinks smoothly in the width direction due to the shrinkage of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer, and the drawdown phenomenon occurs in the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet. Generation | occurrence | production can be prevented reliably and it can shape | mold correctly, after heating a polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet uniformly.

更に、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにおいて、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層は、密度が0.16〜0.4g/cm3 の低発泡シート層と、密度が0.07〜0.15g/cm3 の高発泡シート層とが互いに直接、一体化してなり、上記低発泡シート層上にポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層が積層一体化されている場合には、共押出時に発生する、高発泡シート層とポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層との間の溶融粘度の差を、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層の溶融粘度よりも低く且つ高発泡層の溶融粘度よりも高い溶融粘度を有する低発泡層によって緩和し、共押出時における三層の溶融粘度の差を円滑に吸収した上で製造されたものである。 Further, in the above-mentioned polystyrene-based resin laminate foam sheet, a polystyrene resin foamed sheet layer, a low foamed sheet layer having a density of 0.16~0.4g / cm 3, density of 0.07~0.15g / cm 3 The high-foamed sheet layer is directly integrated with each other, and when the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer is laminated and integrated on the low-foamed sheet layer, the high-foamed sheet layer is generated during coextrusion. The difference in melt viscosity between the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer and the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer is alleviated by a low foam layer having a melt viscosity lower than that of the polystyrene resin non-foamed sheet layer and higher than that of the high foam layer. In addition, it is manufactured after smoothly absorbing the difference in melt viscosity of the three layers at the time of coextrusion.

従って、本発明のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、その高発泡シート層の存在によって軽量性に優れており、更に、低発泡シート層上に積層一体化されたポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層は、表面平滑性に優れていると共に、表面に曲面印刷機を用いて印刷するにあたっても低発泡シート層によって安定的に支持されているので印刷特性にも優れている。   Therefore, the polystyrene-based resin laminated foam sheet of the present invention is excellent in lightness due to the presence of the high-foamed sheet layer, and further, the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer laminated and integrated on the low-foamed sheet layer is In addition to being excellent in surface smoothness, it is also excellent in printing characteristics because it is stably supported by the low foam sheet layer when printing on the surface using a curved surface printing machine.

又、上記ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートにおいて、低発泡シート層における厚み方向の平均気泡径が200μm未満であり、ポリスチレン系樹脂発泡シート層全体の連続気泡率が20%未満である場合には、ポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートは、より優れた機械的強度を有すると共に、ポリスチレン系樹脂非発泡シート層もより優れた表面平滑性を有している。   Moreover, in the said polystyrene-type resin laminated foam sheet, when the average cell diameter of the thickness direction in a low foam sheet layer is less than 200 micrometers, and the continuous cell rate of the whole polystyrene-type resin foam sheet layer is less than 20%, it is polystyrene. The resin-based resin laminated foam sheet has superior mechanical strength, and the polystyrene-based resin non-foamed sheet layer also has superior surface smoothness.

次に、上記円筒状発泡体をその外周面に0.25m3 /分の風量で、内周面に0.7m3 /分の風量で20℃の冷却風を吹き付けながら徐々に拡径させた後に、一定径を有する円柱状の冷却マンドレル7(直径:410mm)に連続的に供給して円筒状発泡体を冷却し、しかる後、上記円筒状発泡体をその押出方向に内外周面間に亘って連続的に切断して切り開き、円筒状発泡体をそのポリスチレン非発泡層にその幅方向に歪みを残存させたまま展開してシート状として、高発泡シート層12上に低発泡シート層11が直接、一体化してなるポリスチレン発泡シート層1における低発泡シート層11上に耐衝撃性ポリスチレンシート層2が積層一体化してなる長尺状のポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAを製造し、この長尺状のポリスチレン積層発泡シートAを巻取り軸に連続的に巻き取った。なお、円筒状発泡体の押出速度と、ポリスチレン積層発泡シートAの巻取り速度とを調整して、円筒状発泡体及びポリスチレン積層発泡シートAにその長さ方向に殆ど張力が加わらないように調整した。 Next, the cylindrical foam was gradually expanded in diameter while blowing a cooling air of 20 ° C. at an air volume of 0.25 m 3 / min on the outer peripheral surface and an air volume of 0.7 m 3 / min on the inner peripheral surface. Later, the cylindrical foam is continuously supplied to a cylindrical cooling mandrel 7 (diameter: 410 mm) having a constant diameter to cool the cylindrical foam, and then the cylindrical foam is inserted between the inner and outer peripheral surfaces in the extrusion direction. Continuously cut and open, the cylindrical foam is developed in the polystyrene non-foamed layer with strain remaining in the width direction to form a sheet, and the low foamed sheet layer 11 on the high foamed sheet layer 12 A long polystyrene-based resin-laminated foam sheet A in which the impact-resistant polystyrene sheet layer 2 is laminated and integrated on the low-foam sheet layer 11 in the polystyrene foam sheet layer 1 that is directly integrated is manufactured. Scaled polystyrene laminate It took continuously around the winding axis of the sheet A. Adjust the extrusion speed of the cylindrical foam and the winding speed of the polystyrene laminated foam sheet A so that almost no tension is applied to the cylindrical foam and polystyrene laminated foam sheet A in the length direction. did.

次に、巻取り軸に巻回されている長尺状のポリスチレン積層発泡シートAを巻き出し、このポリスチレン積層発泡シートAをその耐衝撃性ポリスチレンシート層2が上側となるように水平状にして、図5に示した成形機Bに連続的に供給して、ポリスチレン積層発泡シートの幅方向の両端部に左右一対の保持具B3、B3に設けられた針部材B33 、B33 を順次、突き刺し、左右一対の保持具B3、B3を前方に向かって同一速度で搬送させて、ポリスチレン積層発泡シートを順次、前方に搬送して成形機Bの加熱炉B1に供給した。なお、上記左右一対の保持具B3、B3は、前後方向の全長に亘ってポリスチレン積層発泡シートの幅寸法に略合致した一定間隔を存して配設されていた。   Next, the long polystyrene laminated foam sheet A wound around the take-up shaft is unwound, and the polystyrene laminated foam sheet A is made horizontal so that the impact-resistant polystyrene sheet layer 2 is on the upper side. 5 is continuously supplied to the molding machine B shown in FIG. 5, and needle members B33 and B33 provided on the pair of left and right holders B3 and B3 are sequentially pierced at both ends in the width direction of the polystyrene laminated foam sheet, The pair of left and right holders B3 and B3 were conveyed forward at the same speed, and the polystyrene laminated foam sheets were sequentially conveyed forward and supplied to the heating furnace B1 of the molding machine B. Note that the pair of left and right holders B3 and B3 were disposed at regular intervals substantially matching the width dimension of the polystyrene laminated foam sheet over the entire length in the front-rear direction.

A large number of bowl-shaped molded products C were molded on the resin-based resin laminated foam sheet A. The molded product C had an opening having an inner diameter of 13.5 cm, an outer diameter of 14.5 cm, and a depth of 7.5 cm, and the impact-resistant polystyrene sheet layer 2 was on the outer side.

しかる後、多数の成形品Cが成形されたポリスチレン積層発泡シートAは、左右一対の保持具B3、B3によって更に前方に搬送され、左右一対の保持具B3、B3における前方のスプロケットB31 、B31 を超えた位置まで搬送された時点で、ポリスチレン積層発泡シートAの両端部に突き刺さった保持具B3、B3の針部材B33、B33がポリスチレン系樹脂積層発泡シートAから抜き取られた。   Thereafter, the polystyrene laminated foam sheet A formed with a large number of molded articles C is further conveyed forward by a pair of left and right holders B3 and B3, and the front sprockets B31 and B31 in the pair of left and right holders B3 and B3 are used. At the time when it was transported to the position exceeding the upper limit, the needle members B33 and B33 of the holders B3 and B3 pierced at both ends of the polystyrene laminated foam sheet A were extracted from the polystyrene resin laminated foam sheet A.

次に、多数の成形品Cが成形されたポリスチレン積層発泡シートAは所定長さ毎に切断された上で、ポリスチレン積層発泡シートから成形品Cを打ち抜くことによって多数の成形品を同時に得ることができた。   Next, the polystyrene laminated foam sheet A formed with a large number of molded articles C can be obtained at the same time by cutting the molded article C from the polystyrene laminated foam sheets after being cut into predetermined lengths. did it.
