2. Description of the Related Art As a method for producing a thermoplastic resin foam, there are generally known chemical foaming in which bubbles are generated by a chemical reaction using a foaming agent, and physical foaming in which a gas is directly mixed with a resin. In the field of silicone rubber, a method of exclusively performing a chemical foaming simultaneously with a curing reaction has been adopted. The bubble diameter obtained by this method is, for example, as shown in JP-A-7-241934, by mixing silicone rubber powder to obtain a foam having uniform and fine bubbles with a uniform bubble diameter and its dispersibility. Although a device has been devised, the bubble diameter is also about 300 to 700 μm by this method, and according to the study of the present inventors, by controlling the curing method of the silicone rubber composition by various methods, 100 A bubble diameter of about ~ 300 μm was obtained, but did not become smaller.

However, in the above-mentioned conventional method for producing a rubber foam, in particular, a method for producing a silicone rubber foam, foaming and curing proceed simultaneously under one control condition of heating, and the foaming temperature and the foaming temperature increase. Since the curing temperatures are close to each other, it is difficult to stably obtain a foam having a fine and uniform cell diameter and a uniform dispersibility of cells [hereinafter simply referred to as (uniform)]. In order to obtain a foam stably, it was necessary to control the curing speed and the foaming speed at a high level. Even so, the bubble diameter is limited to the above range,
It was not possible to obtain a foam having a finer cell diameter. That is, the present invention provides a method for producing a silicone rubber foam which can stably obtain a uniform foam having a cell diameter of 100 μm or less with high productivity without highly controlling the curing rate and the foaming rate.

[0006] In the present invention, the gaseous substance is kept at a critical temperature or higher,
The reason why the gaseous substance permeates and diffuses into the silicone rubber composition at a critical pressure or higher is to permeate and diffuse gaseous substances quickly and densely into the silicone rubber composition. The relationship between the contact area S (cm 2 ) between the gaseous substance and the silicone rubber composition at the gaseous substance injection part and the extrusion speed V (cm 3 / min.) Of the silicone rubber composition is expressed as S ≧ 2
The value of V is used to uniformly and sufficiently penetrate and diffuse gaseous substances having a critical temperature or higher and a critical pressure or higher into the silicone rubber composition. When the value of S is less than 2 V, the pressure is reduced. The number of cells to be foamed is reduced, and a foam having sufficient performance cannot be obtained. In other words, the purpose of foaming the silicone rubber is to obtain a molded product having a low hardness. Specifically, when the foamed material has a hardness of 50 before foaming, the molded product has a hardness of 20 to 40 . In order to achieve this, the expansion ratio must be at least 1.5, but such foam cannot be obtained at S <2V.
