However, in the invention described in the above publication, when the foaming temperature of the foaming agent is lower than or equal to the half-life temperature of the crosslinking agent for 10 minutes, the foaming occurs when heated under normal pressure. Cross-linking starts almost simultaneously or slightly later and the cross-linking proceeds slowly, and after the foaming is completed or immediately before the foaming is completed, the cross-linking density rapidly increases, so that the escape of generated gas is suppressed. As a result, there was a problem that the expansion ratio did not increase, stickiness occurred, and the appearance of the foam was significantly impaired.

g / 10 minutes, VA is preferably in the range of 10 to 25%. This is because if the MI is 5 g / 10 min and the VA is 5% or less, the resin is not flexible, so that even if the foam film strength modifier is added, the foam film strength becomes too strong, and the The ratio of closed cells to heated foamed foam is higher than that of open cells, resulting in a foam having extremely poor water absorption and settling resilience, which are characteristics of open cells.

In the case of the chemical crosslinking method using the above-mentioned organic peroxide crosslinking agent, the addition of a crosslinking agent, a crosslinking assistant, etc. is carried out so that the gel fraction (crosslinking degree) of the foamable sheet becomes 40 to 60%. It is preferable to adjust the dosage. If the gel fraction is too small, stickiness occurs, heat resistance cannot be obtained, and the foam film strength at the time of foaming is insufficient, so that high foaming cannot be achieved. Conversely, if it is excessively large, the strength of the cell membrane is too strong, and the formation of closed cells becomes remarkable. Further, other crosslinking methods, for example, a silane crosslinking method or a radiation irradiation crosslinking method such as an electron beam can also be used.
