この出願の発明に関連する先行技術文献情報としては次のものがある。

熱可塑性樹脂からなる発泡シートは、一般に軽量で、断熱性や緩衝性が良好であり、加熱成形により成形体を得ることが可能であることから、ポリスチレン系樹脂やポリエチレン系樹脂を中心に、緩衝材や食品容器、断熱材、自動車用部材などの用途で幅広く利用されている。また、近年では、耐熱性や、耐溶剤性に優れるポリプロピレン系樹脂も利用されるようになってきた。
しかし、ポリプロピレン系樹脂は、溶融時の粘度及び抗張力が低く、発泡時の気泡壁の強度が十分に保持されず、独立気泡率が高い発泡シートを得ることが困難であった。従来独立気泡率が高い発泡シートを得る手法として、特定の分子量並びに平衡コンプライアンスを有するポリプロピレン系樹脂を用いる方法(特許文献1)が提案されているが、より幅広い押出条件で、制御することが困難であり、断熱性を高めるために発泡体のセル密度を増やそうとすると独立気泡率が下がってしまうため、外観を含めたバランスのとれた発泡シートを得ることが困難である。
【0007】
また、従来電子レンジ加熱調理などに対応した、食品包装容器としては、無機物であるタルクをポリプロピレン系樹脂に充填した非発泡シート(PPフィラーシート)を熱成形して使用されている。しかし、断熱性に乏しく、内容物の温度の上昇により剛性を著しく低下する問題があるため、その使用方法について注意が必要となる。
一方、ポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートはPPフィラーシートと比較して、一般に断熱性が高く、ポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シート等の熱可塑性樹脂発泡シートで厚さ方向のセル壁密度が8個/mm以上、かつ、厚さ方向と厚さ方向に垂直な方向とのセル壁密度比が2以上6未満である様な気泡構造を設けることにより、さらに断熱性に優れる(特許文献2)と報告されている。しかし、セル径を微細化させることは独立気泡率の低下を招きやすく、結果として発泡シート全体の剛性を低下させることにつながりやすいことから高い断熱性と高い剛性を両立させにくい。
また、発泡シートが、食品容器などに用いられる場合、発泡シート自体の剛性が満足でないと、電子レンジによる加熱調理時や、輸送時の衝撃や応力による容器の変形を引き起こしやすいという問題があった。これまで、ポリプロピレン系樹脂、ポリスチレン系樹脂および無機充填材を含む樹脂組成物を発泡させたシート(特許文献3)では、発泡倍率が低いため、経済性や、輸送時などの軽量性で劣っている。
また、ポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡層の、少なくとも片方にタルクを含む非発泡層を設けることで加熱時の容器剛性を高める手段が提案・実用化されている(特許文献4)。しかし、積層工程を必要とすることから製造工程が煩雑になることや、コストアップに繋がるため、安価かつ簡便に製造可能で、高剛性な耐熱性の高い発泡シートが市場に要望されている。
本発明はこれらのような問題を解決するためになされたものであり、安価でありながら、簡便に製造可能で、耐熱性、断熱性、剛性に優れたポリプロピレン系発泡シート及び該発泡シートの製造方法を提供するものである。

に関する。
【0010】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明により得られるポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートは、密度0.10〜0.30g/cm3かつ独立気泡率50%以上のポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートであり、230℃におけるメルトテンションが5g以上のポリプロピレン系樹脂などの基材樹脂が平均粒径10μm以下のタルクを5〜20重量%含み、かつセル密度が100個/mm3以上であることを特徴とする。
【0011】
本発明で用いられるポリプロピレン系樹脂としては、特に制限はないが、プロピレンの単独重合体、またはエチレン、炭素数4以上のα−オレフィンから選ばれる1または2以上の共重合成分とプロピレンのランダム共重合体またはブロック共重合体、およびそれらから選択される2種以上の混合物等がある。更に、所望の形態の発泡シートの製造を容易にする目的で、イソプレンなどのモノマー及びラジカル重合開始剤との反応、または放射線照射などにより変性した樹脂でもよい。ポリプロピレン系樹脂が前記ランダム共重合体またはブロック共重合体である場合、共重合体中にしめるプロピレン成分の割合は75%以上であることが、ポリプロピレン系樹脂の特徴である耐熱性や剛性が損なわれないことから好ましい。
【0012】
また本発明で用いられるポリプロピレン系樹脂の230℃におけるメルトフローレートは、10g/10分以下、さらには8g/10分以下であることが、押出発泡においてダイでの圧力保持が容易であることから好ましい。
【0013】
本発明で用いられるポリプロピレン系樹脂としては、特に制限はないが、230℃で測定したメルトテンションが5g以上であることが、発泡倍率や気泡径、独立気泡径の制御を容易に製造しやすいことから好ましい。230℃で測定したメルトテンションが5g未満である場合、発泡時のセル形成において十分な溶融張力が得難いため、セル膜を形成することが容易でなく、セルが破泡しやすくなる。なお、メルトテンションの測定には東洋精機製メルトテンションテスターを用い、230℃に加熱したポリプロピレン系樹脂を、口径1mm、長さ10mm、流入角45°のオリフィスから1m/minの速度で押出し、該押出物を張力検出用プーリーを通過させて1m/minの速度から加速させながら巻き取り、該押出物が切断される際のテンション値を測定した。
【0014】
また、本発明の基材樹脂として、上記ポリプロピレン系樹脂に、ポリエチレン、ポリ−1−ブテン、ポリ−4−メチル−1−ペンテン、エチレン−環状オレフィン共重合体などの他のポリオレフィン系樹脂、ポリスチレン、スチレン−ブタジエン共重合体などのポリスチレン系樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレートやポリブチレンテレフタレート、ポリカーボネートなどのポリエステル系樹脂、エチレン・α−オレフィン共重合体などのゴムなどの1種または2種以上を混合して用いても良く、その場合、添加量を50重量部未満となるように混合することが好ましい。添加量が50重量部以上となると、耐熱性や、耐溶剤性などポリプロピレン系樹脂の特長が損なわれる場合がある。またポリプロピレン系樹脂と他の樹脂を混合して基材樹脂とする場合、相溶化剤を併用しても良い。相溶化剤を併用する場合、10重量部を越えると押出発泡の長所である経済性が損なわれるほか、耐熱性や耐溶剤性が損なわれる場合がある。
【0015】
本発明において用いられるタルクは平均粒径10μm以下である。平均粒径が10μmより大きいと、独立気泡率が低下および剛性が低下しやすくなる。また、ポリプロピレン系樹脂との混合方法としては、タルクは樹脂と無機粉末のドライブレンドによって混合してもよいが、タルクがポリプロピレン系樹脂に均一に分散される必要があることから、タルクを樹脂中に均一に分散させる目的であらかじめポリプロピレン系樹脂全量とタルクをコンパウンド化する方法や、ポリプロピレン系樹脂に高濃度で溶融混合してマスターバッチ化したものを残量のポリプロピレン系樹脂と混合する方法等が挙げられ、これらの内、簡便性・経済性からポリプロピレン系樹脂に高濃度で溶融混合してマスターバッチ化したものを残量のポリプロピレン系樹脂と混合する方法がより好ましい。
【0016】
次に、本発明においてポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートを製造する方法としては、例えば前記ポリプロピレン系樹脂などの基材樹脂とタルクおよび必要に応じて添加される各種添加剤をブレンダーで混合した後、押出機に供給し、樹脂が溶融したのち発泡剤を高温、高圧下に圧入して混合し、適性発泡温度まで冷却し、押出発泡させる方法が挙げられる。
【0017】
無機充填材の添加量は、上記ポリプロピレン系基材樹脂(以下、「ポリプロピレン系樹脂」と総称する)が、無機充填材5〜20重量%、好ましくは、5〜15重量%、最も好ましくは、5〜10重量%含むように配合される。
【0018】
本発明において好ましい発泡剤としては、例えばプロパン、ブタン、イソブタン、ペンタン、ヘキサン、ヘプタンなどの脂肪族炭化水素類、シクロブタン、シクロペンタン、シクロヘキサンなどの脂環式炭化水素類、クロロジフルオロメタン、ジクロロメタン、ジクロロフルオロメタン、トリクロロフルオロメタン、クロロエタン、ジクロロトリフルオロエタン、トリクロロテトラフルオロエタン、テトラクロロジフルオロエタンなどのハロゲン化炭化水素類、二酸化炭素、窒素、空気などの無機ガス、水などの1種または2種以上の揮発型発泡剤が好ましい。さらに、微細な発泡セルを持つ発泡シートを容易に製造でき、断熱性、剛性に優れた発泡シートを製造しやすいことから、二酸化炭素を含有していることが、より好ましい。
【0019】
発泡剤の添加量は、発泡剤の種類および目標発泡倍率によって選択されるが、一般にポリプロピレン系基材樹脂100重量部に対して0.1〜10重量部が好ましい。
【0020】
また、発泡シートのセル密度を適宜の大きさに調整するために、必要に応じて、重炭酸ソーダとクエン酸の混合物、タルク、マイカなどの発泡核剤を併用してもよい。必要に応じて用いられる該発泡核剤の添加量は、一般に、樹脂組成物100重量部に対して0.01〜3重量部であることが好ましい。
【0021】
また本発明の発泡シートは、断熱性や剛性、耐熱性、耐溶剤性などの物性を損なわない範囲で、発泡助剤、難燃剤、紫外線吸収剤、酸化防止剤、銅害防止剤、滑剤、顔料などの添加剤を適宜含有していても良い。
【0022】
また、本発明の発泡シートの製造方法では、発泡シートの所望の幅を得る目的、または、所望の気泡構造を得る目的で、たとえば、押出発泡した後にマンドレルへの引取による延伸、空気の吹き付けによる冷却促進などをしてもよい。
上記製造方法により得られる本発明におけるポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートの密度は0.10〜0.30g/cm3が好ましく、さらに0.15〜0.25g/cm3がより好ましい。密度が、0.30g/cm3より大きくなると発泡シートの単位面積あたりの樹脂量が多く必要となり、発泡シートの非発泡シートに対する優位点である軽量性、経済性が損なわれる傾向が生ずる。また、密度が0.10g/cm3より小さくなると、発泡シートの剛性が損なわれやすい傾向を持つ。
発明におけるポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートの独立気泡率は50%以上が好ましく、さらに60%以上がより好ましい。独立気泡率はより高いことが好ましいが、高すぎると表面性に影響することもあり得るので、一概にはいえないが、一般的には98%程度までが好ましい。独立気泡率が50%より小さい場合、発泡シートおよび該発泡シートを加熱成形した成形体の剛性の低下を招きやすい。製造の容易さと剛性を考慮すると60〜90%がより好ましい。
【0023】
本発明におけるポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートの厚み、および幅は、特に制限はないが、厚みとしては、通常0.2〜10mm、好ましくは、0.5〜5mm、最も好ましくは、0.8〜3mmであり、幅としては、通常50〜2000mm、好ましくは、100〜1500mm、最も好ましくは、300〜1200mmである。
本発明のポリプロピレン系樹脂発泡シートは、後述の(1)式で規定されるセル密度が100個/mm3以上であることが好ましく、さらに150個/mm3以上が好ましい。セル密度が100個/mm3未満の場合、発泡シートの断熱性および剛性が低下しやすい傾向がある。
【0024】
また、本発明における発泡シートは、プラグ成形や真空成形、圧空成形など加熱成形性に優れることから、プラグ成形、マッチド・モールド成形、ストレート成形、ドレープ成形、プラグアシスト成形、プラグアシスト・リバースドロー成形、エアスリップ成形、スナップバック成形、リバースドロー成形、フリードローイング成形、プラグ・アンド・リッジ成形、リッジ成形などの方法により表面平滑な、耐熱性、耐溶剤性、そして剛性、断熱性に優れた成形体を得ることができる。前記加熱成形は発泡シートを予備加熱した後に成形するものであるが、予備加熱の際に発泡シートの二次発泡などにより、密度や厚み、セル構造、独立気泡率が変化する場合がある。
【0025】
また、本発明における発泡シートは表面印刷性や、加熱成形性などの改良や、さらなる剛性を得る目的のために、前記発泡シート表面に、熱可塑性樹脂からなる非発泡層を片面または両面に形成してもよい。前記熱可塑性樹脂としては、ポリスチレン系樹脂、変性ポリフェニレンエーテル系樹脂、ポリエチレン系樹脂、ポリプロピレン系樹脂、ポリエチレンテレフタレート系樹脂、ポリブチレンテレフタレート系樹脂、ポリアミド系樹脂、ポリアリレート系樹脂、ポリイミド系樹脂、ポリエーテルスルホン酸系樹脂、ポリスルホン系樹脂、ポリエステル系樹脂、アクリル系樹脂、ポリ塩化ビニル系樹脂、ポリカーボネート系樹脂などを単独または2種以上組み合わせて用いることができるが、発泡シートとの接着性の点からポリプロピレン系樹脂が好ましい。前記非発泡層を成型する方法は特に限定されるものではなく、発泡シートを作成した後に、別途作成した非発泡フィルムを加熱または接着剤を用いてラミネートして成形してもよいし、発泡シート上に別途押出してラミネートしてもよい。
【0026】
【実施例】
つぎに実施例および比較例に基づいて本発明の発泡シートについて説明するが、本発明はかかる実施例のみに限定されるものではない。
(セル密度測定)
本発明の発泡シートの押出方向に垂直な断面を走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)にて25〜100倍に拡大して観察し、視野中に観察される気泡の厚み方向1mm当たりに含まれるセル数と、幅方向1mm当たりに含まれるセル数を各15点測定・平均した値をそれぞれNHD、NTDとした。また同様に押出される発泡シートに平行な断面の観察から、1mm当たりに含まれるセル数を各15点測定・平均した値をNMDとした。NHD、NTDおよびNMDからセル密度Nを(1)式により算出した。
N(個/mm3)=NHD(個/mm)×NTD(個/mm)×NMD(個/mm)…(1)
HD:発泡シートの厚み方向の1mmあたりのセル数
TD:押出される発泡シートの幅方向の1mmあたりのセル数
MD:押出される発泡シートに平行な方向の1mmあたりのセル数
(発泡シートの密度測定)
JIS−K6767に準じて、各発泡シートの比重を測定した。
(発泡シートの独立気泡率の測定)
ASTM D−2856に記載の方法に準じ、エアピクノメータにより測定した。
(発泡シートの剛性評価)
クランプした発泡シートを350℃に設定したオーブン中に入れて、30秒間予備加熱した後、25℃に調節した金型を用いて、開口部175mm×198mm、底部135mm×157mm、深さ28mmのトレイ形状の成形体を作成する。対角をなす2つの角を固定した該成形体の中央部をφ10mmの円形の治具で押し、容器底部が押し下げられて10mm変形した際の上記治具にかかる反発応力を測定した。上記反発応力が600gf以上の場合、剛性の高い発泡シート(○)であると判断し、600gf未満の場合、剛性が低い発泡シート(×)であると判断した。
実施例および比較例には次のポリプロピレン系樹脂を使用した。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a polypropylene resin foam sheet. More specifically, a polypropylene resin foam sheet that can be suitably used in a wide range of applications such as cushioning materials, food containers, heat insulation materials, and automotive members excellent in heat insulation, heat resistance, and rigidity, and molded from the foam sheets. The present invention also relates to a molded body and a method for producing the foamed sheet.

Foamed sheets made of thermoplastic resins are generally lightweight, have good heat insulation and buffering properties, and can be molded by thermoforming, so buffering mainly for polystyrene resins and polyethylene resins. It is widely used in applications such as wood, food containers, heat insulating materials, and automotive parts. In recent years, polypropylene resins having excellent heat resistance and solvent resistance have been used.
However, the polypropylene resin has a low viscosity and tensile strength at the time of melting, the strength of the cell walls at the time of foaming is not sufficiently maintained, and it has been difficult to obtain a foam sheet having a high closed cell rate. As a method for obtaining a foam sheet having a high closed cell ratio, a method using a polypropylene resin having a specific molecular weight and equilibrium compliance (Patent Document 1) has been proposed, but it is difficult to control under a wider range of extrusion conditions. In order to increase the cell density of the foam in order to improve the heat insulation, the closed cell ratio is lowered, so that it is difficult to obtain a well-balanced foam sheet including the appearance.
[0007]
Conventionally, as a food packaging container corresponding to microwave cooking, etc., a non-foamed sheet (PP filler sheet) in which polypropylene resin is filled with talc, which is an inorganic substance, is thermoformed and used. However, since heat insulation is poor and there is a problem that the rigidity is remarkably lowered due to an increase in the temperature of the contents, attention must be paid to its usage.
On the other hand, the polypropylene resin foam sheet is generally higher in heat insulation than the PP filler sheet, and the cell wall density in the thickness direction of the thermoplastic resin foam sheet such as a polypropylene resin foam sheet is 8 pieces / mm or more, and It has been reported that by providing a cell structure in which the cell wall density ratio between the thickness direction and the direction perpendicular to the thickness direction is 2 or more and less than 6, it is further excellent in heat insulation (Patent Document 2). However, miniaturization of the cell diameter tends to cause a decrease in the closed cell ratio, and as a result, it tends to reduce the rigidity of the entire foamed sheet. Therefore, it is difficult to achieve both high heat insulation and high rigidity.
In addition, when the foam sheet is used for food containers or the like, there is a problem that if the rigidity of the foam sheet itself is not satisfactory, the container is likely to be deformed due to impact or stress during heating cooking with a microwave oven or transportation. . So far, in the sheet (Patent Document 3) obtained by foaming a resin composition containing a polypropylene resin, a polystyrene resin and an inorganic filler, the foaming ratio is low, so that it is inferior in economic efficiency and light weight during transportation. Yes.
Further, a means for increasing the rigidity of the container during heating by providing a non-foamed layer containing talc on at least one of the polypropylene resin foamed layers has been proposed and put into practical use (Patent Document 4). However, since the lamination process is required, the manufacturing process becomes complicated and the cost is increased. Therefore, there is a demand for a highly rigid and highly heat-resistant foam sheet that can be manufactured inexpensively and easily.
The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems as described above, and can be easily produced while being inexpensive, and has excellent heat resistance, heat insulation, and rigidity, and production of the foamed sheet. A method is provided.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The polypropylene resin foam sheet obtained by the present invention is a polypropylene resin foam sheet having a density of 0.10 to 0.30 g / cm 3 and a closed cell ratio of 50% or more, and has a melt tension of 5 g or more at 230 ° C.

There are polymers or block copolymers, and mixtures of two or more selected from them. Furthermore, for the purpose of facilitating the production of a foam sheet having a desired form, a resin modified by reaction with a monomer such as isoprene and a radical polymerization initiator or irradiation with radiation may be used. When the polypropylene resin is the above random copolymer or block copolymer, the proportion of the propylene component contained in the copolymer is 75% or more, and the heat resistance and rigidity, which are the characteristics of the polypropylene resin, are impaired. It is preferable because it is absent.

To preferred. When the melt tension measured at 230 ° C. is less than 5 g, it is difficult to obtain a sufficient melt tension in the cell formation at the time of foaming, so that it is not easy to form a cell film, and the cell tends to break. The melt tension was measured using a Toyo Seiki melt tension tester, and a polypropylene resin heated to 230 ° C. was extruded from an orifice having a diameter of 1 mm, a length of 10 mm and an inflow angle of 45 ° at a speed of 1 m / min.

When the addition amount is 50 parts by weight or more, the characteristics of the polypropylene resin such as heat resistance and solvent resistance may be impaired. Moreover, when mixing a polypropylene resin and another resin to make a base resin, a compatibilizing agent may be used in combination. When the compatibilizing agent is used in combination, if it exceeds 10 parts by weight, the economic efficiency, which is an advantage of extrusion foaming, is impaired, and heat resistance and solvent resistance may be impaired.
