(Industrial Application Field) The present invention relates to a method for aging a highly foamed olefin-based molded product, and particularly to a method for aging a highly foamed olefin-based molded product with a low shrinkage rate. (Prior art and problems to be solved) After taking out the foam molded product from the molding machine, it is heated overnight at 40 to 60°C in an oven or constant temperature room, etc., and then dried.
Aging has been conventionally performed (for example, Japanese Patent Publication No. 11183/1983). However, even foamed molded products that have gone through this aging process exhibit considerable shrinkage, and in particular, molded products with a high expansion ratio have a shrinkage rate of about 20 to 50 even after aging (Note: Shrinkage rate will be explained later). show. The present inventors conducted various studies to reduce the shrinkage rate of such molded products, and found that in addition to the conventional aging process, the temperature was further increased by 10°C to 30°C higher than the conventional aging temperature.
The present invention was completed by discovering that the subsequent shrinkage of a foamed molded product is significantly improved by leaving it at a high temperature for at least one hour.The purpose of the present invention is to create a highly foamed olefin-based molded product with a low shrinkage rate. It is on offer. (Means for Solving Problems) That is, the present invention provides a method for taking out a highly foamed olefin-based molded product having an expansion ratio of at least 30 times from a molding machine and aging it.
A first ripening step of heating, drying, and maturing at ℃ overnight, and a second ripening step of leaving the molded product that has undergone this first ripening step at a temperature 10 to 30 degrees Celsius higher than the ripening temperature of the first ripening step for at least one hour. This is a method for aging a highly foamed olefin-based molded article, which is characterized by comprising the following steps. The olefin-based highly foamed molded product in the present invention refers to polyethylene, polypropylene, α
- homopolymers of aliphatic hydrocarbons such as olefins,
Alternatively, copolymers of these and aromatic hydrocarbons such as styrene, α-methylstyrene, and P-methylstyrene, or resin particles made by crosslinking these polymers, with hydrocarbons such as butane, propane, and pentane, Alternatively, foamable resin particles obtained by press-injecting a blowing agent such as a halogenated hydrocarbon such as trichloromonofluoromethane, dichlorodifluoromethane, or dichlorotetrafluoroethane,
A foam molded product obtained by heating and foaming with heated steam at 100 to 150℃ to obtain pre-expanded particles, which are then filled into a mold and reheated to fuse the particles.The expansion ratio refers to the foaming ratio. The value obtained by dividing the density of the previous material resin by the apparent density of the foamed molded product after foaming, and the highly foamed product of the present invention refers to one with an expansion ratio of 30 times or more. Conventionally, such foam molded products were aged by leaving them in an oven at a temperature of 40 to 60 degrees Celsius all day and night.
In the present invention, the product that has gone through this conventional aging process is further left for at least 1 hour at a temperature 10 to 30°C higher than the conventional aging temperature, and for a long time at a temperature within 10°C higher than the first aging temperature. The shrinkage rate will not improve much if left as is, and temperatures higher than 30°C will have a negative effect of increasing the shrinkage rate of the foamed product.The dimensions that are the standard for this shrinkage rate are: This is the inside dimension of the mold (mold cavity dimension) of the molding machine. The aging temperature in this second aging step varies depending on the type of olefin resin constituting the foam molded product, but for example, it is preferably around 70°C in the case of crosslinked polyethylene, and a temperature not exceeding 80°C in the case of polypropylene. Hereinafter, the present invention will be explained in more detail with reference to Examples. Example 1 A styrene monomer containing a catalyst was absorbed into polyethylene particles, and the internal pressure was reduced by pressurizing pre-expanded particles (average magnification 75±2 times) of graft-polymerized polyethylene-styrene copolymer resin particles with air. After application, a plate molded product (60 x 40 x 2.5 cm) with a foaming ratio of 73 to 76 times was obtained using a foam molding machine. Immediately after taking out this foam molded article from the molding machine, it was heated in an oven at 50°C for one day, and after being taken out from the oven, the shrinkage rate was measured after cooling the molded article, and the shrinkage rate was 29.8. This shrinkage rate is a value obtained by multiplying the average value of the shrinkage rates in the vertical and horizontal directions of the foam molded product by 1000, and hereinafter, the shrinkage rate will be expressed using this value. A second ripening step was performed between one and two days after molding. In other words, molded products
The mixture was heated at 70°C for 2 hours. The shrinkage rate was 19.8. For comparison, the shrinkage rate was measured while varying the conditions of the first ripening step and the second ripening step. The results are shown in Table 1. In this example, the shrinkage rate after the first aging step and the shrinkage rate after the second aging step are based on the inner dimension of the mold (mold cavity dimension) as described above.

[Table] Examples 2 to 3 After applying internal pressure by pressurizing the foamed particles (63 times) obtained by pre-foaming the expandable polyethylene-styrene resin particles of Example 1 with air, the expansion ratio was determined using a foam molding machine. 60x plate molded product (30x40x

[Table] Example 4 Polypropylene foam particles were obtained by discharging resin particles together with a dispersion medium from an autoclave under high pressure using a halogenated hydrocarbon as a blowing agent. After applying internal pressure by pressurizing with air, they were molded using a foam molding machine. A foam molded product was obtained. The shrinkage rates of the molded products were measured when the expansion ratio and aging conditions were varied, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[Table] Shown below.
As is clear from this result, when the foaming ratio of the molded product is about 30 times, the effect of adopting the second aging process is not so noticeable, but as the foaming ratio increases from 40x onwards, the shrinkage rate due to the second aging process decreases. The decline is significant. (Effects) As described above, the present invention is capable of recovering shrinkage of a foam molded product by performing a second aging step in which the temperature is further raised by 10 to 30°C and heated for at least 1 hour after the first aging step. This has the effect of lowering the shrinkage rate of the molded product.
