Accordingly, the bubble grows at substantially the same speed in the extrusion direction of the foamed parison, the circumferential direction of the cylinder, and the thickness direction of the parison. Therefore, the dimension in each direction expands to a dimension close to a dimension obtained by multiplying the dimension in the case of non-foaming by the cube root of the expansion ratio.

- the average thickness of the foamed blow molded article is preferably 1 to 4 mm, more preferably 1.5 to 3.5 mm, and still more preferably 1.6 to 3.0 mm. Note that if the clearance of the annular die is narrowed in order to reduce the thickness of the molded body, the pressure difference at the time of foaming increases, so the foaming speed tends to increase, and a larger corrugate is likely to occur than before. . Even in that case, according to the method of the present invention, it is possible to stably obtain a foamed blow molded article having an average thickness in this range by eliminating the corrugation.

- Air was blown onto the inner peripheral surface of the upper part to expand the foamed parison, and the foamed parison was then sandwiched between two-part molds provided directly under the die. The spraying was continued until the pinching was completed. Next, blown air with a pressure of 0.1 MPa (G) is blown into the inside of the foam parison from a nozzle inserted into the lower part of the foam parison, and at the same time, air is sucked from the hole provided in the mold, so that the gold Form the mold shape, open the mold after cooling, take out the molded body, remove the molding burr from the molded body, a foam blow molded body with a maximum peripheral length of 370mm, a maximum width of 170mm, and a vertical length of 740mm Obtained.

- Example 11 The raw material resin was changed to that shown in Table 3, and the same molding as in Example 1 was carried out except that the die clearance was changed to the conditions shown in Table 3 to obtain a foamed blow molded article. Since the apparent density of the foamed parison increased compared to Example 1 due to the change in the raw material resin and the increased clearance of the annular die, the corrugate generation rate decreased, and the foamed blow molded body swelled The part incidence rate became low.
- Comparative Example 5 As shown in FIG. 7, an attempt was made to produce a foamed blow molded article in the same manner as in Example 11 except that air was blown toward the lowermost part of the parison from a gas outlet provided in the center of the annular die. Since the corrugation could not be eliminated, the swelled portion was formed in the molded body, and it was difficult to obtain a good foamed blow molded body.

なお、前記したように、発泡性樹脂溶融物は押し出された直後は、発泡が進んでいないので、コルゲートは発生しないが(図4(a))、発泡が進むとコルゲートが発生するようになる(図4(b))。
なお、本明細書における「発泡パリソン上部の内周面に向けて吹付け」るとは、環状ダイ中心線10と直交する平面とパリソン1上部の内周面との交点により形成される内周線に向けて、気体を吹付けることを意味する。気体は内周線の全体に向けて、均一に吹付けることが好ましい。また、「気体の吹付けを、遅くとも発泡パリソン1を分離金型3により挟み込み終える前」とは、例えば、気体の吹付けを、発泡パリソン1の下部をピンチ6により閉鎖した後スタートし、分離金型3による挟み込み開始前又は完了前に終了する場合を含むべく意図されている。なお、ピンチ6により閉鎖した発泡パリソン1を分離金型3により挟み始めた後(分割金型3の型締めを開始した後)、気体の吹付けをスタートすることもできる。
なお、該圧力は、圧力調整器にて調整することができる。
また、該非発泡樹脂層を構成する樹脂にも、必要に応じて、難燃剤、流動調整剤、紫外線吸収剤、導電性付与剤、着色剤、熱安定剤、酸化防止剤、無機充填剤等の添加剤を適宜配合することができる。
特に、無機物理発泡剤は、熱可塑性樹脂に対する溶解度が低く発泡速度が速いため、脂肪族炭化水素やフッ化炭化水素に比べて大きなコルゲートが発生する傾向がある。しかし、本発明方法によれば、無機物理発泡剤を使用し、さらに低見掛け密度の成形体を得るために発泡剤添加量を増加させた場合であっても、コルゲートを解消することができる。
なお、成形体の厚みをより薄くするために、環状ダイのクリアランスを狭くすると、発泡時の圧力差が大きくなるので、発泡速度が速くなる傾向にあり、従来よりも大きなコルゲートが発生しやすくなる。その場合であっても、本発明方法によれば、コルゲートを解消することにより、この範囲の平均厚みを有する発泡ブロー成形体を安定して得ることができる。
発泡ブロー成形体の長手方向中央部および長手方向両端部付近、さらに中央部と両端部との中間部の計5箇所の長手方向に対する垂直断面に対して行い、各垂直断面の周方向において等間隔に6箇所の垂直断面の厚み方向の厚みの測定を行い、得られた30箇所の厚みの最大値と最小値を除く28箇所の厚みの算術平均値を発泡中空成形体の平均厚みとする。
なお、発泡ブロー成形体の独立気泡率は、ASTM-D2856-70の手順Cに従って、東芝ベックマン株式会社の空気比較式比重計930型を使用して測定することができる。
表2に示すように、樹脂A1(Borealis社製 ポリプロピレンWB140)と樹脂A2を重量比20:80の割合でドライブレンドし、気泡調整剤としてタルクを樹脂100重量部に対して0.9重量部配合した原料を口径65mmの押出機に供給し、押出機内にて溶融混練した。
次いで押出機の途中から二酸化炭素(CO2)を樹脂1kg当たり0.27mol/kgとなるように圧入し混練して発泡性樹脂溶融物とした。次いで、発泡性樹脂溶融物を押出機に連結したアキュームレータに充填した。次いで、アキュームレータの先端に取付けた直径75mmの環状リップから、表2に示すクリアランス(mm)、吐出速度(kg/hr)で発泡性樹脂溶融物を大気圧下に筒状に押出しながら発泡させて、発泡パリソンを形成した。発泡パリソンの下部をピンチした後、発泡パリソン内の環状ダイ直下2cmの位置に設けられた気体吹出口である環状スリットから、空気を表2に示す圧力で水平に全方向に吹出させ、発泡パリソン上部の内周面に空気を吹付けて、発泡パリソンを膨らませ、その後、発泡パリソンをダイ直下に設けられた2分割式の金型で挟みこんだ。吹付けは、挟みが終了するまで行った。
次に、発泡パリソンの内部に、発泡パリソン下部に刺し込まれたノズルから圧力0.1MPa(G)のブローエアを吹き込み、同時に金型に設けた孔よりエアを吸引することにより、発泡パリソンに金型形状を賦形し、冷却後に金型を開いて成形体を取出し、成形体から成形バリを取り除き、製品の最大周長さ370mm、最大幅170mm、上下方向長さ740mmの発泡ブロー成形体を得た。
気体吹出口からの吹出圧力を表2に示すように変更した以外は、実施例1と同様に発泡ブロー成形体を得た。
環状スリットからの空気の吹付けを、発泡性樹脂溶融物を押出した後0.3秒(発泡パリソンの下部をピンチする前)から行い、表2に示す吹出圧力とした以外は、実施例1と同様に発泡ブロー成形体を得た。すなわち、発泡性樹脂溶融物を環状ダイから押出した直後に、環状スリットからの空気吹出しを開始し、発泡パリソンをピンチして発泡パリソンを膨らませ、金型間への挟み込みが終了するまで、気体吹出し口からの空気の吹付けを行った。
発泡パリソンの下部を閉じた後に、図7に示すように、環状ダイの中心に設けた気体吹出口から発泡パリソン最下部に向けて(真下に向けて)空気を吹付けて、発泡パリソンを拡幅した以外、実施例1と同様に発泡ブロー成形体の製造を試みた。発泡パリソン上部のコルゲートを解消することができなかったため、成形体には盛り上がり部が形成されてしまい、良好な発泡ブロー成形体を得ることが困難であった。
吹出圧力を表2に示すように変更した以外、比較例1と同様に発泡ブロー成形体の製造を試みた。
空気の吹出圧を上げることにより、パリソン上部の拡幅比を3以上としたが、空気の吹出方向が下方向であるため、発泡パリソン上部において均等に拡幅できず、コルゲートの隣り合う山部と山部との間(凹部分)の一部が融着してしまっており、発泡パリソン上部のコルゲートを解消することはできなかった。その結果、成形体には盛り上がり部が形成されてしまい、良好な発泡ブロー成形体を得ることが困難であった。
比較例3、4
さらに、空気の吹付けを強めると、発泡パリソン下部が過剰に拡幅され、発泡パリソン上部は拡幅不足になる傾向にあった。その結果、成形体には盛り上がり部が形成されてしまい、良好な発泡ブロー成形体を得ることが困難であった。
原料樹脂を表3に示すように、樹脂A1:樹脂B1(サンアロマー社製 オレフィン系エラストマー Adflex Q100F):樹脂C1=17:3:80のものに変更し、発泡剤量、空気吹出圧力を表3に示す条件とした以外は、実施例1と同様にして発泡ブロー成形体を得た。発泡剤量を増加して発泡パリソンの見かけ密度が低い発泡ブロー成形体を得ることが可能であった。
原料樹脂を表3に示すものに変更し、発泡剤量、吐出速度、ダイのクリアランス、気体吹出圧力を表3に示す条件とした以外は、実施例1と同様にして発泡ブロー成形体を得た。環状ダイのクリアランスを小さくしたこと、また吐出速度を下げたことにより、平均厚みの薄い発泡ブロー成形体を得ることはできた。
原料樹脂を表3に示すものに変更し、ダイのクリアランスを表3に示す条件とした以外、実施例1と同様の成形を行い、発泡ブロー成形体を得た。原料樹脂を変更したこと、また、環状ダイのクリアランスを大きくしたことにより、実施例1と比較すると発泡パリソンの見かけ密度が大きくなったので、コルゲートの発生率が低くなり、発泡ブロー成形体の盛り上がり部発生率が低くなった。
図7に示すように、環状ダイの中心に設けた気体吹出口から空気をパリソン最下部に向けて吹付けた以外、実施例11と同様に発泡ブロー成形体の製造を試みた。コルゲートを解消することができなかったため、成形体には盛り上がり部が形成されてしまい、良好な発泡ブロー成形体を得ることが困難であった。
発泡ブロー成形体の見かけ密度は、発泡ブロー成形体の重量(g)を、該発泡ブロー成形体を体積(cm3)にて除することによって求めた(n=5;50個の成形体から無作為に選択した5個の成形体の見掛け密度の算術平均値)。なお、発泡ブロー成形体の体積は、成形体を水没させて測定した。
発泡ブロー成形体の平均厚みは次のようにして測定した。厚みの測定部位は、発泡ブロー成形体の長手方向(通常は発泡パリソンの押出方向)の中央部付近及び両端部付近、更に中央部と両端部との中間地点付近の計5部位とし(但し、嵌合部などの発泡ブロー成形体の特殊な形状部分は避けることとする。)、更にそれらの部位において成形体周方向に等間隔に6箇所の計30箇所とした。各測定箇所において厚みを計測し、得られた30箇所の厚みの内、最大値と最小値とを除いた計28箇所の厚みの算術平均値を成形体厚みとした(n=5)。なお、測定部位にダクトの吹出口などの厚みを測定することができない箇所がある場合には、吹出口などを除く部分を周方向に等間隔に6等分して、それらの中心付近の6箇所の厚みを測定した。
発泡ブロー成形体の独立気泡率は、発泡ブロー成形体から試験片を切り出し、ASTM D2856-70(1976再認定)の「手順C」によりVxを求め、下記式(1)により算出した。
独立気泡率(%)=(Vx-W/ρs)×100/(Va-W/ρs)(1)
Vx:試験片の実容積(独立気泡部分の容積と樹脂部分の容積の和)(cm3)
Va:試験片の外形寸法から求められる見かけの容積(cm3)
W:試験片の重量(g)
ρs:試験片の基材樹脂の密度(g/cm3)
発泡ブロー成形体の厚み測定を行った5部位付近において、上記の測定方法に従って独立気泡率を測定し、それらの算術平均値を発泡ブロー成形体の独立気泡率とした(n=5)。測定装置として東芝ベックマン(株)製、空気比較式比重計(型式:930型)を用いた。
表4中、成形体50個当たりの、盛り上がり部が発生する発生率を次の基準により評価した。
A:10%未満
B:10%以上20%未満
C:20%以上70%未満
D:70%以上
表5中、発泡パリソンの周方向長さ(D2)は、次のようにして測定した。まず、実施例に示すように発泡ブロー成形を行い、金型成形後、固化した成形バリのついた発泡ブロー成形体(a)を採取した。ダイから下方向に300mmの箇所を起点(0mm)とし、該起点から下方向に100mm間隔で合計7カ所で、成形バリのついた成形体(a)の幅を測定した。この幅を2倍した値(n=5)を発泡パリソンの周長(D2)として表5に示す。なお、成形バリのついた成形体(a)は、発泡パリソンが固化したものなので、成形バリの長さを含む成形体(a)の幅を2倍した値は発泡パリソンの周長(D2)とほぼ対応したものとなる。また、表5の拡幅比は、周長(D2)を環状ダイの周長で除して算出した。
