Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce the subject sheet which has a white surface free from yellowing and is useful as a heat-insulating or cushioning material. CONSTITUTION:The objective sheet is produced by forming a compsn. comprising a polyolefinic resin, azodicarbonamide, and an org. peroxide into a sheet and exposing the sheet to ultraviolet rays of wave lengths of 295-400nm at an intensity of 30-100mW/cm<2> for 8-30min.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, crosslinked polyolefin resin foamed sheets have been widely used for household products, toys and the like because they have excellent heat insulating properties and cushioning properties. The surface of the crosslinked polyolefin-based resin foam sheet differs greatly depending on the manufacturing method. In particular, the foamed sheet obtained by using azodicarbonamide as a foaming agent, cross-linking with an organic peroxide, and heat-foaming in a hot-air oven has a surface that tends to be yellowed, resulting in a difference in color between the inside and the surface. It was As a method of solving this problem, there is a method of laminating a film on the surface of the sheet before foaming and foaming. However, in this case, there were problems that wrinkles were generated in the surface layer of the obtained foamed sheet and the film was peeled off.

In view of such a situation, the inventors of the present invention studied a method of easily removing the yellowing of the surface of the foamed sheet without laminating films, and as a result, by irradiating the surface of the foamed sheet with ultraviolet rays. The inventors of the present invention have found that the yellowing of the foamed sheet disappears and have reached the present invention. That is, according to the present invention, a composition obtained by mixing a polyolefin resin with azodicarbonamide and an organic peroxide is molded into a sheet, and after being heated and foamed in a hot air oven, the wavelength is 295 to 295.

The polyolefin resin includes polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, ethylene-ethyl acrylate copolymer, ethylene-methyl acrylate copolymer and the like.
A mixture of two or more species may be used. Examples of organic peroxides include dicumyl peroxide and 2.5-dimethyl-2.5-di (t-butylperoxy) hexane. The foamed sheet obtained by mixing the azodicarbonamide and the organic peroxide with the polyolefin resin and forming the sheet by the hot air oven has a slight yellowing, but the wavelength is 295 to 295. 450n
A beautiful white foamed sheet is obtained by irradiating with ultraviolet rays of m and an intensity of 30 to 100 mW / cm 2 for 8 to 30 minutes.
An apparatus that can generate ultraviolet rays in such a range is, for example, "eye super UV tester". When the wavelength is less than 295 nm or exceeds 450 nm, yellowing remains and a white sheet cannot be obtained. If the strength is less than 30 mW / cm 2 , the irradiation time becomes long and the manufacturing cost becomes too high. If the strength is more than 100 mW / cm 2, the problem of severe deterioration of the resin occurs. It is preferably 40 to 60 mW / cm 2 . If the irradiation time is less than 8 minutes, yellowing tends to remain, and if it exceeds 30 minutes, the resin is likely to deteriorate and the expansion of the foamed sheet is reduced.
