Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the title foam improved in expansion ratio, conductive properties, etc., by mixing a gellike carbon black mixture obtained by mixing an aqueous carbon black suspension with a highly water-absorptive resin with a PE resin, and extrusion-foaming the resulting mixture. CONSTITUTION:40-60% carbon black (e.g. furnace black) is dispersed in water in the presence of 5-10% water-soluble dispersant (e.g. polyethylene glycol) to obtain an aqueous carbon black suspension. This suspension is mixed with 5% water-absorptive resin (e.g. crosslinked polyacrylic acid) of a particle size of 100mesh or below to obtain a gellike carbon black mixture. This mixture is mixed with a PE resin and optionally a blowing agent, a filler, a nucleator, an antistatic agent, etc., and the resulting mixture is extrusion-foamed.

However, since conductive carbon black is a fine powder with a large specific surface area, it tends to aggregate, and when mixed with a resin, the fine powder aggregates, making it difficult to obtain a uniform mixture. Therefore, when a mixture like the one in 2 is extruded and foamed, the surface resistivity cannot be lowered, and in order to lower the resistivity, a large amount of conductive carbon black must be blended. When black was added, the foamability deteriorated, and even if the foam was made into open cells, a product with a high foaming ratio could not be obtained.
